Padres starting pitcher Casey Mize exits a game after spraining his ankle while slipping down the dugout steps. Multiple reports say the injury happens during his start, and he does not finish the outing.
The injury comes after Mize has been part of the Padres’ rotation following his trade. The Athletic and CBS Sports report he has been a steady presence this season, including 20 starts with a 3.44 ERA, 95 strikeouts, and 26 walks over 104 2/3 innings. CBS Sports adds that Mize is considered day-to-day, and that after Saturday’s game, imaging results come back clean. The reports differ mainly in emphasis, with one focusing on his season workload and the other on the immediate status update after the injury.
