The Detroit Tigers placed right-hander Casey Mize on the 15-day injured list May 10 with a left hamstring strain — the same injury that sidelined him for two months last season.
It's a "mild strain," according to manager A.J. Hinch.
The placement on the injured list is retroactive to May 9, making Mize eligible to return as soon as May 24. The Tigers have yet to name a starting pitcher for their May 13 game against the Boston Red Sox at Comerica Park.
"In his last inning in Colorado, he felt a little sensation, tweak, whatever that is," Hinch said, referencing Mize's May 8 start against the Rockies at Coors Field in Denver.
