Andrew

Miller

Miller, 36, made two All-Star teams and won an ALCS MVP in 2016. After flaming out as a starter, the lefty became one of the most impactful relievers in recent history, both in terms of raw numbers and also how teams viewed reliever usage. In a four-season run from 2014-17, he posted a 1.72 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 421/67 K/BB ratio over 261 innings. Miller was also revered by his peers for his work with the MLBPA.

Miller went down late last month with a left foot blister, but he’s ready to roll for Monday’s opener against the Dodgers. The southpaw holds an unimpressive 4.94 ERA over 34 appearances this season.

Miller has struggled mightily, compiling a calamitous 4.94 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 31/14 K/BB ratio across 31 innings (34 appearances) this season. It’s unclear exactly how long he’ll be sidelined.

Miller has been on the injured list for over a month after dealing with a recurring blister on his right big toe. Prior to the injury he struggled with a 6.43 ERA and 2.00 WHIP over 10 appearances. Andrew Webb was designated for assignment by St. Louis in a corresponding move.

He’ll make appearances for Memphis on Tuesday and Thursday before being re-evaluated. In other words, Miller should be activated this weekend as long as he feels okay. He’s missed nearly a month of action because of a recurring blister on his right big toe.

Miller is on the injured list due to a recurring blister on the big toe of his right foot. He’s been trying out different footwear in hopes of eliminating the issue. If he’s able to, he could be back when his 10 days are up.

Miller went down last week with a toe blister on his right foot. At this point, it doesn’t look like he’ll be ready to return when he’s first eligible. The southpaw has struggled with an 8.59 ERA and 2.18 WHIP across nine appearances this season.

Miller will miss the next 10 days as he recovers. The left-hander has appeared in eight games, and registered an unhealthy 6.43 ERA and even 2.00 WHIP thus far. Kodi Whitley has been recalled in a corresponding move.

Fortunately, Ryan Helsley came up big behind him and Miller was charged with just one run. Miller is quite the mess right now, though; his velocity has continued to nosedive and he didn’t touch 90 mph with any of his pitches tonight. The Cardinals can’t currently treat him like a reliable reliever.

Both runners came around to score after Miller left. Miller is off to a bit of late start after contracting COVID-19 in early February. He could be a candidate for the odd save this year, but he shouldn’t be a significant part of the closer mix for St. Louis.
