Rotowire
Mize (hamstring) will throw a live batting practice session Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
It will be his first time facing hitters since going on the injured list in early July with a strained left hamstring. Mize will not be eligible for activation until early September after being shifted to the 60-day IL earlier this week.
Tigers' Casey Mize: Shifted to 60-day injured list
Rotowire
The Tigers transferred Mize (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.
The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for left-hander Bryan Sammons, who was called up from Triple-A Toledo. Mize has resumed throwing off a mound after being sidelined for the last few weeks with a strained left hamstring, but he won't be eligible to rejoin the Tigers until at least early September.
Mize (hamstring) threw his bullpen session Saturday and did not suffer any setbacks, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Beck notes that Mize threw about 20-to-25 pitches, and the right-hander said after Saturday's session that he will throw another bullpen session next week. Mize has been on the injured list since July 3 due to a strained left hamstring. He was 2-6 across his 16 starts with a 4.23 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 58:21 K:BB over 78.2 innings prior to his injury.

Tigers' Casey Mize: Slated for bullpen session
Rotowire
Mize (hamstring) will throw a bullpen session Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
It will be his first time on a mound since he went down with a left hamstring strain in late June. Mize will need time to get built back up and is likely several weeks away from a return.
Mize (hamstring) has been ruled out through the Tigers' upcoming road trip which ends July 25, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Mize has been sidelined for all of July with a strained left hamstring. Manager A.J. Hinch said recently that the hope is the hurler will be ready to throw off a mound soon, and the skipper also indicated Mize will need to make at least one rehab start before being activated. The Tigers play 12 straight games coming out of the All-Star break before a day off July 31, so the team will need to add a fifth starter soon, with Matt Manning being the most likely candidate to fill in for Mize.
