"No trade with Mize is believed to be imminent, but the decision to scratch is a precaution against the risk of injury. Detroit made a similar decision with Jack Flaherty two years ago, before trading him to the Dodgers just before the Deadline. "Mize, 29, has battled a nagging groin issue all season. He had two separate stints on the injured list with a right adductor strain and inflammation, and he reported groin soreness after leaving his July 19 start against the Angels in the fourth inning following a comebacker off his left wrist."
