Casey Mize, the Detroit Tigers' promising right-hander, has been selected for his first MLB All-Star Game, a milestone reflecting his remarkable comeback from a series of injuries. Despite a challenging recovery process, including hamstring strains and previous surgeries, Mize has demonstrated resilience on the mound.

Since returning from his latest injury, he boasts a 2.72 ERA over 43 innings and has shown flashes of his former brilliance with a recent 1.82 ERA in his last four starts. Mize's perseverance through adversity has not only earned him this All-Star recognition but also a chance to share the field with teammate Tarik Skubal, who is a strong candidate to start for the American League.
