Detroit Tigers pitcher Casey Mize returned to MLB action for the first time in nearly two years, starting against the New York Mets.

Mize, recovering from Tommy John and back surgery, pitched 4 1/3 innings, allowing three runs, five hits, and two walks.

His performance included a 94.8 mph fastball and 10 swinging strikes, indicating a potentially strong comeback.

Mize holds a career ERA of 4.29 and a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 2.64 over 188 2/3 innings, with an estimated 2.8 Wins Above Replacement.

His estimated WAR surpasses that of Joey Bart and Alec Bohm, the second and third picks of the 2018 draft, respectively.

The Tigers were the last undefeated team in MLB at the time of the game, having played only four games.
