Tigers Notes: Mize, Manning, Pineda

By Anthony Franco | April 20, 2022 at 10:21pm CDT

The Tigers were dealt a couple scares in the rotation last week, with righties Casey Mize and Matt Manning both landing on the injured list due to arm issues. Mize suffered an MCL sprain in his throwing elbow, an ominous-sounding injury that seemed as if it could result in a long  absence. There’s still not much clarity on his timetable for return, but the most recent news on the 24-year-old has been promising.

In an appearance on MLB Network Radio yesterday, manager A.J. Hinch said initial results indicated they’d “avoided any sort of catastrophic occurrence” (relayed by Jason Beck of MLB.com). Mize himself addressed the matter this afternoon, saying he “(feels) good” because he’s “not having surgery and … going to pitch again soon” (via Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free-Press).

That Mize appears to have avoided a serious injury is obviously fantastic news for the club. The former first overall pick is an integral part of the organization’s present and future. That’s also true of Manning, himself a former top ten draftee and highly-regarded prospect. The 6’6″ hurler left his start over the weekend with shoulder discomfort. Detroit placed him on the injured list due to inflammation this afternoon, but Hinch didn’t sound particularly concerned. The manager said Manning is hoping to resume throwing as soon as this weekend (Beck link), suggesting his stay on the IL could be brief.

Even if Manning returns in short order, the Tigers will be down a couple starters through an ongoing stretch of six consecutive games without an off-day. In response, Detroit announced tonight they’re recalling veteran Michael Pineda to make his season debut tomorrow afternoon against the Yankees. Signed to a $5.5MM guarantee in Spring Training, Pineda consented to be optioned to open the year after being delayed in reporting to camp by visa issues.

The hope had been for the big righty to start three games with Triple-A Toledo before being called up, but he’ll be pressed into action after two minor league appearances by the injuries to Mize and Manning. Now that he’s in the majors again, Pineda figures to take the ball every fifth day as a regular member of the rotation. Once Mize and Manning return, Tyler Alexander would likely be bumped into a long relief role — assuming the club avoids intervening injuries.

    Casey Mize has done great with his impersonations of Biden and Trump for SNL this year.

      It reminds me of when the NYM were rebuilding another dynasty with high visibility MiLB SPs. Media named them “Generation K”: Paul Wilson, Bill Pulsipher and Jason Isringhausen.

      Jason Isringhausen, Bill Pulsipher, and Paul Wilson were supposed to be for the Mets what Hudson, Mulder, and Zito eventual were for the A’s. All three had varying levels of success after leaving the Mets but none lived up to the hype

    First Mize, now Manning… I heard Detroit’s training staff has been collaborating with the Marlins’ training staff, but this is ridiculous!

    Give Faedo a shot. Not like they have high expectations for him. Throw him out there and see if you can catch lightning in a bottle.

      Faedo isn’t ready. He’s currently pitching in A ball as part of a rehab assignment. Best case scenario, he’ll go to Triple A at the end of this month and be ready for the majors a couple of months after that. And even that is optimistic.

      Faedo is getting his feet wet 16 months after TJ surgery. He’s going to need some time.

    Over the years you see these pitchers don’t work enough innings. Never get there arms strong, Nolan Ryan even says these pitchers don’t pitch enough. Never build up arm strength. Look at all the innings he pitched. There may be the clue to all these TJ surgeries every year.

      Nolan Ryan was a freak of nature. Unfair to act like he should be the norm.

        Yeah, he was. S. Carlton, Seaver, Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz, R. Johnson, Oswalt, Sabathia and the list goes on with guys who knew how to pitch high innings. These are just the key guys. It’s not a lost art, it’s a lost skill except for a handful in today’s game.

          Smoltz had TJS at age 34. Pitched 9 seasons more.
