Padres Trade Deadline Pickup Casey Mize Suffers Ankle Sprain in Unlucky Way
Mize allowed four runs in 2 2/3 innings before leaving after a trainer check, and Kyle Hart replaced him.
On Saturday, San Diego Padres starting pitcher Casey Mize left the game against the Minnesota Twins with a right ankle sprain, exiting with two outs in the third inning at Petco Park.
Mize appeared to slip on dugout steps after the second inning, having already allowed solo home runs to Luke Keaschall, Brooks Lee, and Kaelen Culpepper.
The right-hander pitched 2.2 innings, allowing four hits and four runs while striking out none; his final pitch was an 88.4 mph sinker, the slowest fastball of his career.
Kyle Hart relieved Mize and immediately allowed an RBI single to Kody Clemens; the Padres, holding the National League's third wild-card spot, faced an immediate deficit.
San Diego may turn to Griffin Canning or Wandy Peralta for rotation depth, while the team hopes Joe Musgrove and Nick Pivetta return from injuries in the coming weeks.
