Detroit – Casey Mize left the game Wednesday after four strong innings.
He had six strikeouts through those four innings, but after retiring Angels Wade Meckler on a long fly out to center, he walked slowly back to the dugout. He was shown talking to trainers and walked down the tunnel toward the Tigers’ clubhouse.
The Tigers announced that he was under further evaluation with tightness in his right groin. It’s the same groin that put him on the shelf last month.
This was Mize’s third start back after missing three weeks with a groin strain. He’d allowed just two runs in 16.2 innings since his return.
