Mize Injures Ankle in Rough Start | MLB News

Casey Mize’s wild-card hopes took a brutal turn Saturday night when he exited early with a sprained right ankle after slipping down the dugout steps—just two outs into the third inning. Already struggling, he’d surrendered three solo homers in the first two frames to Luke Keaschall, Brooks Lee, and Kaelen Culpepper. Despite staying in to get two more outs and allowing a double, the Padres pulled him for Kyle Hart. With the team clinging to the NL’s third wild-card spot, this injury is a major blow to both Mize’s season and San Diego’s playoff push.
