Mize's Ankle Injury Halts Pitching | San Diego Padres News

Casey Mize’s Padres debut took a sharp turn when he exited Saturday’s game after slipping on dugout steps, spraining his right ankle — and it wasn’t pretty. Despite throwing warm-ups and starting the third inning, he was pulled after just over two innings, surrendering four earned runs, including three solo homers. The injury comes at a tough time: Mize had been pitching better lately, giving up just two runs in 12 innings before this outing. His overall season ERA is 3.44, but his San Diego stint hasn’t matched his earlier form. With prior injuries including a right adductor strain, the Padres are hoping this ankle sprain isn’t career-ending — and that Mize can return soon to help their rotation.
