Tigers' Casey Mize, Javier Baez sustain injuries versus Braves
The Detroit Tigers suffered injuries to pitcher Casey Mize and infielder Javier Baez during a 5-2 loss to the Atlanta Braves, compounding their struggles against Atlanta in recent seasons. Mize exited with right groin tightness after a routine play, while Baez left the game on a cart after an awkward landing at first base. The team may need to adjust its roster, potentially calling up Ty Madden from Triple-A. Both injuries occurred early in the game, further hampering the Tigers' performance.
