Mize left his start on Thursday for Double-A Erie in the third inning after experiencing discomfort.
Last year’s No. 1 overall pick, Mize has been dominant this season in the minors. He has gone 8-0 with a 0.92 ERA across two levels in the Tigers’ organization. The right-hander is the top prospect in the Tigers’ system and one of the best pitching prospects in baseball.
