The Detroit Tigers have made significant moves in shaping their roster for the upcoming season, highlighted by the performance of right-hander Casey Mize against the Twins. In a recent game, Mize showcased his skill with a fastball reaching 97.7 mph, contributing to a strong performance that included 4.2 innings pitched, allowing only 2 hits, no earned runs, and achieving 4 strikeouts with 51% fastballs and back-to-back strikeouts. His performance has been part of the reason he, along with Reese Olson, secured spots in the Tigers' starting rotation, joining Tarik Skubal, Kenta Maeda, and Jack Flaherty. This decision led to Matt Manning being optioned to Triple-A Toledo, as announced by the Tigers. The team has also made several other roster moves, which has brought the number of players in Major League camp down from 34 to 31, and set a 13-man position player group.

AJ Hinch said the decision came down to essentially Mize and Olson winning the competition. "Matt (Manning) did a great job. It's more about where Casey is and where Reese is, than anything necessarily negative about Matt."
