Mize navigating through the first 13 hitters somehow scoreless..49 pitches 22 fastballs KC has swing and missed one time at Mize's FB..once..living on borrowed time if you can't induce more swing and misses at you FB than that.

I worry about Casey Mize..just bad at strategy and execution..we are in year 3..not good enough to outsmart/execute guys..not swaggy enough to overpower them..its not new..I seem to explain these issues every start..doesn't hold runner..doesn't get ahead..doesn't much of anything.

Grossman and Baez both need to hit the DL..backand thumb injuries are nothing to mess with for baseball players..heal them now.

Thumb bruises are nasty..really tough to hit well with them..especially in cold weather..the smart play is to DL him for 10 days and bring up Kreidler..but Baez is stubborn so they won't and then he will hit .218 for the next month.

Tigers have so few hitters who can rip up a game. Over and over and over again it is their plight. Riley Greene will help, in a major way, as will Torkelson, but where, where, where have been their drafted bats? For so long, a void there.

Tigers still waiting for more follow-up tests on Casey Mize, AJ Hinch tells MLBNetworkRadio.
"So far the doctors are telling us that we've avoided any sort of catastrophic occurrence which is good. So far, so good."

Casey Mize will not require surgery. Will not be gone as long as first feared. Best guess: A few weeks, a shorter rather than lengthier absence.
