From Sunday
Gaslamp Ball grades Casey Mize an F after a 7.46 ERA in 10 starts with the Padres.
The fan blog says Mize pitched through a groin injury that scouts believed affected his delivery, and he also hurt an ankle after twisting it on the dugout steps. It notes he allowed more homers in 10 starts with San Diego than in all of 2024.

Padres need at least three starting pitchers as free agency stays quiet before the Dec. 1 CBA expiration.
Gaslamp Ball says owners have said they intend to lock out players if no new deal is in place when the CBA expires. The post says only Randy Vasquez and Joe Musgrove are likely rotation pieces, though Musgrove's status is unclear. The Nationals extended Jacob Young, but no headline free agent moves have happened yet, and the post says GM Meetings could change that.
