Casey Mize Struggles to Save Padres | San Diego Padres News

Casey Mize’s disastrous stint with the Padres is turning into a nightmare for a team clinging to a wild card spot—his ERA over 6.5, plagued by walks and weak strikeouts, makes him a liability as the clock ticks down. Acquired in a high-stakes trade that sent top prospects to Detroit, Mize was expected to bolster a rotation already featuring Michael King and Robbie Ray. But with Nick Pivetta pitching brilliantly off the IL, Mize now battles for innings against veterans like Randy Vásquez and Walker Buehler. With Joe Musgrove sidelined and just three weeks left, the Padres can’t afford his inconsistency. His next start against Washington is make-or-break—if he fails, he may be benched before the playoffs even begin.
