The San Diego Padres’ trade-deadline acquisition Casey Mize suffers an ankle injury after slipping during a game against the Minnesota Twins. Multiple reports describe the injury as happening in a sudden, unexpected moment shortly after the second inning.
According to outlets, Mize is acquired from the Detroit Tigers before the trade deadline and begins his start for the Padres against Minnesota. During the outing, he slips down steps in the dugout area after the second inning and twists his ankle, leading to his removal from the game. Another report also frames the incident as a strange, unfortunate occurrence, emphasizing the bad luck surrounding the injury.
While the accounts align on what happened—an ankle twist after a slip in the dugout—the wording differs in emphasis. Both outlets report that Mize does not continue his start due to the injury. Neither source provides additional long-term medical details in the excerpts provided, so the severity and timetable for return remain unspecified.
