The Detroit Tigers make roster changes ahead of the trade deadline by calling up outfield prospect Max Clark from the minor leagues and scratching scheduled starter Casey Mize. The move comes as the Tigers begin their final series before Friday’s deadline. Clark, 21, enters the lineup for the game against the Oakland Athletics, starting in center field and batting seventh. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch says Clark has been performing strongly at Triple-A, including an especially impressive stretch in July with the Toledo club. In contrast, Mize does not pitch in his scheduled start, with the team replacing him as it adjusts its rotation for the late-season period. Both outlets report the same core actions—Clark’s promotion to the majors and Mize’s removal from his scheduled outing—while noting Clark’s recent Triple-A production and his role in the lineup for the Athletics game. The reports do not provide further detail on the specific reason for scratching Mize or on any additional transaction at the time of publication.
