San Diego Padres pitcher Casey Mize sustained an ankle sprain during Saturday’s game after falling down the dugout steps, forcing him to leave the contest early. The injury occurred during what marked only his fourth start since being acquired by the team through a trade.
Medical evaluations following the game provided encouraging news for the Padres organization. Imaging tests returned negative results, indicating no structural damage to the ankle.
Mize’s status has been classified as day-to-day, suggesting the injury may not sideline him for an extended period. The team will continue monitoring his recovery in the coming days to determine his availability for upcoming games.
