Tigers pitcher Casey Mize goes on injured list due to right adductor strain
- On Friday, the Detroit Tigers placed starting pitcher Casey Mize on the 15-day injured list with right adductor inflammation, retroactive to Thursday, before their series opener against the Chicago White Sox.
- Mize previously missed nearly three weeks with the same injury from April 29 to May 16, marking a recurring problem for the 29-year-old right-hander this season.

- Bullpen depth remains strained as closer Kenley Jansen continues recovery from pelvic inflammation; manager AJ Hinch said he is "encouraged" that Jansen hasn't stopped throwing.
