Mize made his last start of the season for Double-A Erie on Saturday, August 11.
Tigers had several officials and evaluators in Erie for Mize's last start Saturday. While numbers were good, opinion among some scouts was that he wasn't as crisp. Decision came shortly after that:https://t.co/5YCJdwaFA8
