Tigers place RHP Casey Mize (hamstring) on IL
May 10 - The Detroit Tigers placed right-handed pitcher Casey Mize on the 15-day injured list on Saturday with a left hamstring strain.
The move is retroactive to May 9.
Mize was strong in a 10-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Thursday, allowing one earned run with eight strikeouts and no walks in six innings. However, late in the outing he reportedly felt a sensation in his hamstring that was originally thought to be due to dehydration.
The strain appears to be mild, per the Athletic.
Mize, 28, was limited to 20 starts last season due to a left hamstring strain, including a stint on the 60-day IL in July and August. He missed most of the 2022 season and all of 2023 due to Tommy John surgery and back surgery.
The No. 1 overall pick of the 2018 MLB Draft, Mize is 6-1 this season with a 2.53 ERA in seven starts. He is 15-20 with a 4.13 ERA in 68 games (66 starts) for Detroit.
In a corresponding move, the Tigers recalled right-handed pitcher Chase Lee from Triple-A Toledo.
A sixth-round pick by the Texas Rangers in the 2021 MLB Draft, Lee is 0-0 with a 1.42 ERA in 6.1 innings of work across six games for Detroit this season, his first in the majors. He is 0-1 with a 6.75 ERA in Toledo this season.

Nick Gonzales' walk-off sac fly lifts Pirates past Phillies
June 7 - Nick Gonzales' sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth scored Adam Frazier and lifted the host Pittsburgh Pirates to a 5-4 comeback win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night in a game that began late following a one-hour, 23-minute rain delay. Gonzales' walk-off RBI secured the Pirates their first win over Philadelphia this season. The Phillies played without Bryce Harper, who was not in the lineup due to a sore right wrist. The Pirates loaded the bases with no outs in the ninth on a single by Frazier, a bloop single to center by Jared Triolo and a perfectly executed bunt single by Isiah Kiner-Falefa that rolled up the third base line slowly and stopped. Phillies reliever Jordan Romano (0-3) struck out Oneil Cruz, but Gonzales lifted a fly ball that landed in the glove of Max Kepler on the warning track, allowing Frazier to walk home with the Pirates' second win in the past three games. Frazier led the Pirates at the plate with three hits while Bryan Reynolds and Henry Davis each had two hits, a home run and two RBIs. Trea Turner led the Phillies with three hits and two RBIs. The Pirates and Phillies matched each other to a 4-4 stalemate after four innings. Turner singled and then came around to score two batters later on a Nick Castellanos groundout to give the Phillies a 1-0 lead. Pittsburgh answered in the bottom half when Gonzales tripled and scored on an RBI single by Reynolds. Tied at 2 in the top of the fourth, Turner drove in two more runs on a single off reliever Chase Shugart, which scored J.T. Realmuto and Edmundo Sosa. Shugart had just relieved Pirates starter Bailey Falter, who matched his shortest outing of the season, pitching 3 2/3 innings. Falter allowed four runs on five hits and two walks and struck out two on 65 pitches. But the Pirates picked up their starter, scoring two in the bottom half of the fourth inning on Davis' two-run home run. Davis entered the game in the third inning after Endy Rodriguez left the game with right elbow discomfort. Pirates reliever David Bednar (1-4) struck out the side in the ninth to keep the game tied. --Field Level Media

He walked one and struck out four. Minnesota jumped to a 3-0 lead in the first two innings. Larnach started the scoring with a solo blast in the first. The 421-foot shot to right-center field was his 10th homer of the year. Clemens made it 2-0 with an RBI groundout in the second. Two batters later, Vazquez doubled to drive in Lewis and give the Twins a 3-0 advantage. The Blue Jays pulled within 3-2 on one swing in the fourth. After Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was hit by a pitch leading off, Barger drilled a two-run shot to right for his seventh homer of the season. Bichette gave Toronto a 4-3 lead with a two-run single to center in the fifth. He drove in Ernie Clement, who had singled, and Andres Gimenez, who had doubled. Springer's solo blast made it 5-3 for the Blue Jays in the sixth. It was his ninth homer. Toronto pulled ahead 6-3 on an RBI single by Alejandro Kirk in the eighth. Minnesota tried to mount a rally in the bottom of the eighth. Lewis stepped to the plate with runners on first and third and two outs, and he delivered with a looping RBI single to center. Clemens drilled a ball toward first base in the next at-bat, but Guerrero made the play to end the inning with the Blue Jays ahead 6-4. The teams opened a three-game series. --Field Level Media

Texas blasts Texas Tech's NiJaree Canady, wins 1st WCWS title
June 7 - OKLAHOMA CITY -- Texas battered star Texas Tech pitcher NiJaree Canady in the first inning and rolled, beating the Red Raiders 10-4 to win the decisive Game 3 of the Women's College World Series championship series and the first national title in program history on Friday. The Longhorns (56-12) had fallen in the WCWS championship series in two of the previous three seasons. While the first two games of the series were tight and low scoring, featuring a total of 10 runs, but Texas blew open Game 3 early against Canady. Texas scored five first-inning runs, highlighted by Leighann Goode's three-run, two-out home run to cap the frame. With one out, the Longhorns delivered four consecutive singles to get on the board before Goode belted her 10th home run of the season. The five first-inning runs were the most surrendered by Canady, a junior, in one inning in her career. After the first inning, Canady was lifted in favor of Chloe Riassetto. It was the first pitching change the Red Raiders had made in the WCWS, with Canady pitching the first 36 innings for Texas Tech in Oklahoma City. Texas added another run in the third, then made it a blowout in the fourth on Mia Scott's grand slam that put the Longhorns up 10-0. It was Scott's 10th long ball of the year. Longhorns pitcher Teagan Kavan allowed just one hit through four innings before the Red Raiders (54-14) broke through with three runs on three hits and two errors in the fifth. Kavan (28-5) allowed eight hits and four runs, all unearned, in the complete-game victory. She struck out three without walking a batter. Henry finished with three hits. Texas' Reese Atwood, Katie Stewart and Scott each had two hits, and Stewart drove in two runs. Canady (34-7) yielded five runs on five hits and no walks with two strikeouts. Texas Tech's Hailey Toney went 3-for-4 with three RBIs, and Mihyia Davis had two hits. --Field Level Media
