The Detroit Tigers have removed Casey Mize from his scheduled start against the Athletics on July 31 in West Sacramento. This decision comes as a precaution ahead of the trade deadline. If Mize is not traded, he is expected to pitch against Seattle on August 4. The Tigers, positioned to make significant roster changes, will use a bullpen game in place of Mize’s start. Tarik Skubal remains a top trade asset, while Mize, having a career season, is also seen as valuable. The team is exploring possible trades for other players, including second baseman Gleyber Torres.
