Summary
Casey Mize, owner of a 2.70 ERA in 16 starts, gives San Diego a second deadline rotation addition after the club also traded for Robbie Ray earlier Monday.
The Padres paid with top pitching prospect Kash Mayfield and left-hander Jackson Wolf, prioritizing innings after injuries and weak starts forced a temporary bullpen-heavy approach.
Mize, 29, has a 3.23 ERA over seven starts since his latest return from an adductor strain, while Ray has posted a 1.09 ERA over his past eight games.
San Diego appears done dealing, leaving its search for a left-handed-hitting outfielder unfinished as it bets on a rebuilt rotation and the expected late-August returns of Joe Musgrove and Nick Pivetta.
