Casey Mize allowed four earned runs on six hits while striking out seven over 4.2 innings in Wednesday's 7-4 victory against the Rockies.

Despite a rocky performance that saw him yield a considerable number of hits and runs in less than five innings, Mize's ability to avoid walks and strike out seven batters was a silver lining. However, his season-long issues with a high ERA of 4.47 and WHIP of 1.40 continue to be a concern for fantasy managers. His strikeout rate remains modest at 6.8 K/9, and while his FIP at 4.06 suggests some bad luck with a .327 BABIP, his overall effectiveness this season has been limited. Fantasy managers should remain cautious, as his inconsistency and lack of deep outings make him a risky play in most formats.

Casey Mize delivered a lackluster performance, allowing three earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out two over 5.1 innings in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Padres.

Fantasy Impact

This outing was emblematic of Mize's struggles this season, marked by a middling 4.30 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP across 18 starts. His low strikeout rate of 6.4 K/9 continues to limit his fantasy upside, and a BABIP of .320 suggests he hasn't been on the wrong side of luck, just not sharp enough in key moments. Mize's role as a backend starter in fantasy rotations remains, as he offers little beyond occasional quality starts and innings depth.

Casey Mize allowed four earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four over six innings in Friday's 7-5 loss to the Red Sox.

Fantasy Impact

This outing was another chapter in Mize's season of inconsistency, marked by a ballooning 4.36 ERA and a WHIP of 1.43. His performance against the Red Sox did little to reassure fantasy managers, as his season-long issues with command and inability to miss bats continued, evidenced by a mere 6.6 K/9 rate. The elevated .329 BABIP suggests some bad luck, but it's clear that Mize needs to make substantial adjustments to regain fantasy relevance. His current form makes him a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues.
