Episode Details

Detroit Tigers pitchers Casey Mize and Kenley Jansen are sidelined by right groin injuries, with Mize’s re-aggravated issue raising concern despite early signs of recovery, while Jansen exited a game with the same problem. Both await MRI results, but there’s cautious optimism for Mize, who was spotted walking and possibly preparing to throw. Mize has been stellar this season with elite stats, but this is his second groin injury during a start — a red flag for the team. Meanwhile, outfielder Kerry Carpenter and infielder Gleyber Torres are headed to Triple-A Toledo to rehab; Carpenter could play part of a game soon, while Torres is expected back this week. On the pitching front, Troy Melton gets the Friday start against Chicago despite Framber Valdez’s turn in the rotation — manager A.J. Hinch made the call to ease workload, citing Melton’s lower pitch count in a recent doubleheader, where Valdez pitched the first game and Melton debuted in the second.
