Tigers have optioned Keider Montero and Ryan Kreidler this morning

This should mean the rotation is set with Casey Mize and Jackson Jobe

Fantasy Impact:

Mize’s 1.13 ERA and 18:7 K:BB in 16 spring innings outshine his 2024 4.49 ERA over 102.1 frames, securing his spot behind Jackson Jobe with Alex Cobb out until May. The 27-year-old rebounds. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should roster him, banking on his spring form for early value in Detroit’s 2025 rotation.
