Mize had X-rays on his sprained right ankle come back clean Sunday and hopes to make his next start, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
The right-hander departed Saturday's start against the Twins during the third inning due to the injury, but he appears to have avoided a serious injury. The Padres have a scheduled day off Thursday and could use that break to provide Mize some extra rest by pushing him to the back of the rotation, but for now he tentatively lines up to take the mound next weekend in Tampa Bay.
