Detroit Tigers pitcher Casey Mize underwent successful Tommy John Surgery on Wednesday. The right-hander has been sidelined since early April with elbow discomfort and was recently shut down again after feeling pain while throwing.
The 25-year-old last pitched on April 14, his second and last start of the season. Mize’s final 2022 stat line will be an 0-1 record with a 5.40 ERA and 1.50 WHIP. The righty struck out four and walked two in just 10 innings pitched this year.
It’s a tough break for Mize and the Tigers, as he had draft capital and talent to develop into the team’s ace.
