San Diego acquired Mize and infielder Gage Workman from Detroit on Monday in exchange for left-handers Kash Mayfield and Jackson Wolf, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Mize is the second addition of the day to the Padres' starting rotation, after the team acquired Robbie Ray from the Giants earlier Monday. The 29-year-old Mize has posted career-best numbers this season, registering a 2.70 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 85:19 K:BB in 86.2 innings. Mize is on an expiring deal and will look to aid the Padres' playoff push and finish the season on a high note with the hope of securing a lucrative payday in free agency.
