Detroit Tigers pitcher Casey Mize was scratched from his scheduled start against the Athletics on July 31. The Tigers confirmed that Mize is healthy but is being held out as a precaution ahead of the trade deadline. Mize, who has a 2.70 ERA and a career-high strikeout rate this season, is now set to start on August 1 against the Mariners, should he remain with the team. Reports suggest the Tigers might trade Mize, alongside teammates Tarik Skubal, Gleyber Torres, and Kenley Jansen, before the deadline.
