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.
