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. --Field Level Media

Tigers Get Good News on Veteran Bullpen Arm, But Option Rookie With 1.42 ERA
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Detroit Tigers swept a doubleheader from the hapless Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on Thursday, raising their American League-best record to 25-13 — the second-best record in MLB, just a half-game behind the Los Angeles Dodgers at 25-12. The Rockies are the worst team in baseball, with only six wins in 37 games. But from the Tigers' point of view, winning a doubleheader by a combined score of 21-3 over any team is an accomplishment.

DENVER, COLORADO - MAY 08: Pitcher Chase Lee #53 of the Detroit Tigers throws against the Colorado Rockies in the ninth inning at Coors Field in game one of a double header on May 08, 2025 in Denver, Colorado. MoreIt would seem that most everything is going right for Detroit. The Bengals are off to a scorching start following their incredible late-season surge last year that carried them from a sub-.500 record in mid-August into the playoffs. But the Tigers' situation is about to get better. Injured reliever John Brebbia, who had allowed just one earned run in nine innings before going on the injured list with a triceps strain, is now set to return to the big league club on Friday, according to a report by Evan Woodbury of the Detroit-area news site MLive. To make room for the righty with the 1.00 ERA, the Tigers optioned 26-year-old rookie right-handed sidearmer Chase Lee to Triple-A Toledo. Lee, in 4 1/3 innings over five games before Thursday's action, had yet to allow a run — giving him an ERA of 0.00. Lee, who made his major league debut on April 22, got the word that he was headed back to the minors between games of Thursday's doubleheader, after he pitched two innings in the first game and allowed his first big league run, raising his ERA to 1.42.

In 2019, he made the Alabama baseball team as a walk-on, after previously quitting baseball to study aerospace engineering at the university. His change of heart to give baseball a second try worked out. He was drafted by the Texas Rangers two years later, in the sixth round. After three years in the minor leagues, Texas traded Lee at last year's trade deadline to the Tigers with another prospect for reliever Andrew Chafin. Less than one year later, Lee made his major league debut. The Tigers called up outfielder Brewer Hicklen to take Lee's roster spot, but with Brebbia's anticipated return Friday, Hicklen is expected to be sent back down.

Former star Alabama relief pitcher promoted to make MLB debut
Former star Alabama relief pitcher promoted to make MLB debut One of the top relief pitchers to wear an Alabama Crimson Tide baseball uniform in recent history has now officially made it to the major leagues, as the Detroit Tigers promoted Chase Lee for his MLB debut on Tuesday night. That debut did in fact come Tuesday night as well during Detroit's 2-0 loss against the San Diego Padres, with Lee pitching 1.2 scoreless innings with no hits, two walks, and one strikeout. The strikeout came in the top of the ninth inning when Lee struck out Padres second baseman Mason McCoy. A sixth round pick from the 2021 MLB draft by the Texas Rangers out of Alabama, Lee spent the first four seasons of his professional career with the organization before being traded to Detroit in July of 2024. There, Lee finished the 2024 campaign with the Tigers, and had made six appearance in Triple-A Toledo prior to receiving the call Tuesday. At Alabama, Lee was an impactful member of the Crimson Tide's bullpen from 2019-21 in which the right-hander made a combined 49 relief appearances. Across those 82 innings pitched, Lee held a combined 9-0 record with a 1.87 ERA, a 94:21 K:BB ratio, and nine saves.
