Major League Baseball announces incredible Tigers' Casey Mize news
The Detroit Tigers have one of baseball's best teams this season. Sitting atop the American League and the AL Central, it's no surprise that multiple Tigers players are heading to the 2025 All-Star Game. Initially, Javier Baez, Riley Greene, Gleyber Torres, and Tarik Skubal earned All-Star nods. But Zack McKinstry also earned a spot as a replacement, and a few days after that, Major League Baseball made another incredible Tigers announcement. MLB announced that Tigers starter Casey Mize has been added to the All-Star team for the American League, replacing Boston Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet on the AL team's active roster. It's an incredible accomplishment for Mize and the Tigers. It's Detroit's sixth All-Star, the most of any team in the Majors this season. It's also Mize's first in his career, and he's more than earned the honor. The 28-year-old has been on a tear this season. He has a 2.63 ERA through 15 starts. He has a 9-2 record, and through 85.1 innings pitched, Mize has 73 strikeouts and 21 walks. MORE: Tigers could trade for Alex Bregman if Red Sox extension talks fail It's been the best season of his career by far, and it's helped elevate the Tigers to the top team in the AL and top team in baseball overall this season. With Mize set to hit free agency after the 2026 season, his performance and All-Star nod this season should go a long way toward improving his new deal he'll sign in the future. Detroit has six All-Stars this season, and Mize is more than deserving of a spot on the All-Star team. While he doesn't qualify for a spot on the MLB leaderboards this season, if he did, he'd be tied for 12th overall in ERA on the year. It'll be a strong contingent heading down to Atlanta for the Tigers, with Mize joining five of his teammates in a well-deserved All-Star bid for the former first overall pick.

Hamptons to Cape Cod to 'Absolutely Nothing': How All-Stars Saw Their Plans Change
ATLANTA - Initially, Jacob Misiorowski was planning on doing "absolutely nothing" this week. Despite a dazzling five-start sample to begin his big-league career, the 23-year-old flame-throwing rookie didn't think there was any possibility he'd be an All-Star. "I was going to sit in Milwaukee," Misiorowski said, "and order in Chinese food." Luckily, those plans were easy to change when he found out Saturday that he would be named a replacement for Cubs starter Matthew Boyd. By the end of last week, 16 different players were told that they would be filling in as All-Star replacements. Many of them did not find out until the middle or end of last week, after a host of pitchers bowed out of the competition to avoid throwing on short rest. That meant a lot of gleeful postponements and cancellations from the newly-named All-Stars, who had to change their plans for the break. Rays starter Drew Rasmussen, for instance, is no longer going on his family trip to Cape Cod. The Rays finished out the first half in Boston, so he thought it made sense to stay in the area to relax for a few days. Instead, he was named an All-Star replacement for Angels starter Yusei Kikuchi on Friday. "This is definitely a little bit more special," said Rasmussen, who now plans to head right back to Tampa to get a bit of rest after the All-Star Game before the Rays start the second half at home. For Tigers starter Casey Mize, meanwhile, an All-Star nod meant canceling a trip to Tampa, where he calls home. Mize's wife is pregnant with their first child, who is due this fall, and he had planned to accompany her for a check-up. "Luckily, it wasn't the biggest appointment ever, and she was able to reschedule," Mize said. Royals third baseman Maikel Garcia was also planning a trip to Florida after getting snubbed. He did not find out he was going to replace the injured Brandon Lowe until Friday, just a few days ago, at which point he had already planned a trip to Miami. (He was still able to get his money back, he said.) Another American League third baseman had arrangements on the other side of the country. The Tigers' Zach McKinstry was going to stay in a cabin and enjoy some time in the sun on a boat in Washington. Those Pacific Northwest plans have changed. An injury to Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena cleared the path for McKinstry to go to Atlanta, where he will be an All-Star for the first time. Mets starting pitcher David Peterson, meanwhile, is still keeping his initial plans, just pushing them back a couple of days. He is splitting a house with a teammate in the Hamptons. "They're there, getting to use it," Peterson said. "They told us it's great, so I'm looking forward to having a little downtime once all this is wrapped up." After the initial list of All-Star pitchers were unveiled, Peterson still thought there was a chance he could make it after logging a 3.06 ERA in the first half. He was ultimately named a replacement for Giants starter Robbie Ray on Thursday. "When the selections came out, I kind of put it out of my mind, like if it happens, it happens," Peterson said. "But I still had a couple starts to go, and I needed to focus on those. So, I tried to put my head down and continue helping the Mets win ballgames and see where we end up." Other replacements, meanwhile, put nothing on the books this week even after being left off the initial vote. "I actually held out hope," said Reds pitcher Andrew Abbott. "I thought I deserved to be here off the start, but obviously everybody here is deserving." Among National League pitchers who've thrown at least 90 innings this year, Abbott has the second-lowest ERA (2.07) behind only All-Star Game starter Paul Skenes (2.01). The Virginia native decided he was going to stay out in Cincinnati rather than go back home, hoping he would eventually get the call. He was named an All-Star last Tuesday as a replacement for Yoshinobu Yamamoto. "I hoped I was on the short list of replacements, but there was no communication like, 'Oh, you're No. 1 or No. 3,'" Abbott said. Last season, Trevor Megill had a 2.05 ERA and was 18-for-20 in save chances before the break while filling in for the injured Devin Williams, but he wasn't named an All-Star. This year, after taking over the closing role in Milwaukee full-time, he made it a goal to get to Atlanta. That objective remained even after he was left off the initial vote by the players. Megill, who has the second-most saves in the National League, was either going to get the nod eventually or sit at home in Milwaukee, much like his teammate Misiorowski. "I planned on being here from the beginning of the season," said Megill, who found out Wednesday that he would be replacing teammate Freddy Peralta. "Last year I was within arm's reach of being here and things just didn't fall the way I wanted to. It was all or nothing here this year." Rowan Kavner is an MLB writer for FOX Sports.

Arozarena homers, scores 4 times as Mariners rout Tigers 15-7
DETROIT -- Randy Arozarena homered and scored four times as the Seattle Mariners defeated the Detroit Tigers 15-7 on Saturday. Arozarena singled and scored in the second, was hit by a pitch and scored on Luke Raley's homer in the third, and singled and scored in the seventh before hitting a two-run homer in the eighth. Tigers All-Star Casey Mize (9-3) allowed six runs in three innings, one day after the Mariners beat Detroit's other All-Star starter, Tarik Skubal. The Tigers took a 1-0 lead on Riley Greene's first-inning sacrifice fly, but Mize couldn't hold it. Dominic Canzone tied it with an RBI single in the second before the Mariners scored five runs in the third. Cole Young led off with a double and scored on J.P. Crawford's single. Julio Rodríguez hit into a force at second, stole second and took third on catcher Jake Rogers' throwing error. Cal Raleigh's sacrifice fly made it 3-1. After Mize hit Arozarena, Jorge Polanco doubled before Raley's fourth homer of the season made it 6-1. Mariners starter George Kirby (4-4) earned the win after allowing four runs on five hits over five innings. He struck out six and walked three. The start of the game was delayed 1:39 by rain. After Zach McKinstry's two-run homer in the eighth, the Tigers loaded the bases with one out. Matt Brash came out of the bullpen to retire Gleyber Torres and Wenceel Pérez to keep the margin at four runs. Torres doubled in the first inning to extend his on-base streak to a career-high 24 games. He matched Kerry Carpenter's 24-game streak in 2023 for the longest streak by a Tiger since Jeimer Candelario had a 29-game run in 2021. The teams finish the three-game series on Sunday afternoon, with RHP Jack Flaherty (5-9, 4.70 ERA) pitching against RHP Logan Gilbert (2-3, 3.88).
