MLB Player News

Mize (leg) is listed as the Tigers' starting pitcher for Saturday's game against the Twins, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Mize was removed from his most recent start Sunday against the Rays due to cramping in his right leg, but he has recovered fine and is ready to roll for his next turn in the rotation. The right-hander has yielded two earned runs or fewer in each of his last four starts, although he's reached the six-inning mark on just one occasion during that stretch.

Olson (finger) struck out five and allowed two earned runs on three hits and one walk across four innings Wednesday in his rehab start for Triple-A Toledo.

Olson spotted 49 of his 74 pitches for strikes and sported a fastball that sat between 92 and 94 miles per hour on the day, about a tick behind his average velocity prior to landing on the injured list May 19 due to right ring finger inflammation. Though the 25-year-old didn't reach five innings in any of his three rehab outings with Toledo, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that all reports on Olson were positive coming out of his start Wednesday, per Chris McCosky of The Detroit News. Olson is likely to return to Detroit this weekend to complete a bullpen session, and if he continues to check out fine, he could be activated from the IL to make his next start with the big club Tuesday or Wednesday in Washington.

Young (0-2) took the loss Wednesday against the Rangers, allowing four runs on five hits and a walk over four innings. He struck out two.

Young managed to hold Texas to one run through his first three innings before giving up a two-run homer to Josh Jung with two outs in the fourth. The 26-year-old Young has struggled to a 7.11 ERA with a 1.97 WHIP through his first three starts (12.2 innings) with Baltimore. He figures to return to Triple-A Norfolk following Wednesday's spot start.

Bieber (elbow) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Guardians manager Stephen Vogt was upbeat following the session, noting Bieber "felt really good," after the activity. It's unclear if Bieber will jump back into a paused rehab assignment or if more preparation is needed. The right-hander is targeted for a mid-July return,

Webb allowed two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out six batters over six innings in a no-decision against Miami on Wednesday.

Webb yielded a pair of runs in the second frame but otherwise kept the Marlins off the scoreboard. The right-hander walked three batters for the second time in his past three outings, but none of those free passes resulted in a run. Webb is an NL Cy Young contender at this point in the campaign, posting a 2.52 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 120:23 K:BB over 17 starts spanning 107.1 innings. He's registered six consecutive quality starts and is tied for first in the league in that category with 13 on the season.

Cabrera allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out six batters over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against San Francisco on Wednesday.

Cabrera served up a solo homer to the first batter he faced, but he was relatively good after that, yielding just one more run over the remainder of his outing. The right-hander tossed 54 of 90 pitches for strikes and notched a healthy six punchouts -- breaking a streak of four straight outings with exactly five strikeouts -- but didn't get enough run support while he was in the game to get the win. Cabrera hasn't allowed more than two earned runs in any of his past six starts, and he's posted a 1.80 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 36:15 K:BB over 30 frames during that stretch.

Dollander (2-8) took the loss against the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out one batter over 5.2 innings.

Dollander got through five scoreless frames before being charged with three runs in the sixth. However, those runs weren't entirely his fault -- he would have gotten the third out of the inning without allowing a run, but heavy rain impeded the catch on a Max Muncy infield popup and allowed the ball to drop, scoring two runners. Muncy eventually came around to score, posting another tally on what was nearly a strong line for Dollander. The rookie right-hander has no wins over his past eight starts, going 0-5 with a 5.79 ERA across 37.1 innings during that stretch.

Yamamoto (7-6) earned the win over Colorado on Wednesday, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out six batters over five scoreless innings.

Yamamoto needed just 56 pitches -- 39 of which were strikes -- to finish five scoreless frames, He almost certainly would have gone longer if not for a rain delay that lasted for about an hour and a half. Despite the weather-shortened outing, Yamamoto managed to pitch just long enough to qualify for the win, and the victory was his first since May 26 -- a span of five starts. The right-hander owns an outstanding 2.61 ERA on the campaign, and his next start is slated to be a prime matchup against the White Sox at home next week.

Fedde (3-7) was saddled with the loss Wednesday against the Cubs, giving up seven runs on eight hits and two walks in 3.2 innings. He struck out two.

It was the second-shortest outing of the season for Fedde, who tied his season worst in runs allowed. The 32-year-old right-hander served up a season-high three home runs, and the eight hits against him were also his most allowed since his sixth start of the year back on April 27. Fedde will take a pedestrian 4.11 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 57:38 K:BB over 87.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance against the Pirates, who have MLB's lowest OPS (.636) since the beginning of May.

Wacha (4-7) was saddled with the loss Wednesday against the Rays, giving up three runs on nine hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out nine.

Wacha brought some of his best swing-and-miss stuff to the mound, registering 19 whiffs en route to fanning a season-high nine in his eighth quality start of the year. The veteran right-hander poured in 65 of his 93 pitches for strikes, but he also matched a season worst in hits allowed. Through 92 frames on the campaign, Wacha holds a 3.33 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 74:24 K:BB. His next appearance is slated for next week at pitcher-friendly T-Mobile Park against the Mariners, who have a poor .634 OPS at home since the start of May.
