Bryce Miller has been pitching through lat injury

Bryce Miller

SEA Starting Pitcher #50

Player Stats

The Seattle Times’ Adam Jude reports that Bryce Miller has been pitching through a lat injury for about a month.

Jude mentioned that, “only after much prodding did Bryce Miler acknowledge a lat issue that crept up a month ago in Texas.” A month ago would be before his July 24th start against the Rangers. In the six starts since then, Miller has posted a 7.92 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and 15.6 percent strikeout rate in 30 2/3 innings. In his 11 starts prior to that, he had a 2.27 ERA, 0.88 WHIP, and 29.5 percent strikeout rate in 63 1/3 innings. It would be safe to say the injury impacted his performance a little bit. Since Miller also had questions about the health of his elbow coming into this season, he remains a major injury risk going forward unless there is some surgery on the table for him to help alleviate the concern. He can be dropped in all redraft formats right now.

Bryce Miller

SEA Starting Pitcher #50

Bryce Miller was charged with five runs in six innings Friday in a loss to the Angels.

Miller allowed two runs through five and should have been through the sixth without any damage, but Julio Rodríguez got an oddly late break on a flyball single and Christian Moore ended up homering with two outs on a fly that would have left only eight of 30 ballparks. Miller finishes the year 4-10 with a 4.17 ERA after a very promising start following a six-week absence due to an oblique injury. Alas, the velocity spike that showed up this spring and briefly carried over upon his return in May didn’t stick around at all. He went from looking like a legitimate No. 2 starter in May to more of a middling No. 4 lately.

Bryce Miller allowed one run (none earned) in 5 1/3 innings and got a no-decision against the Rockies on Saturday.

Miller gave up four hits, walked two and struck out six. He didn’t complete six innings or get the win, but no earned runs allowed and six strikeouts at Coors Field is still impressive. Miller lowered his ERA to 3.99 on the year. He’s not currently scheduled to start again, but could wind up piggybacking Emerson Hancock’s start against the Angels at home next weekend.

SEA Starting Pitcher #50

Bryce Miller allowed two runs over five innings Sunday against the A’s.

Miller gave up back-to-back homers to Zack Gelof and Lawrence Butler in the first. He went on to walk five afterwards, but he allowed no other hits and left with a 5-2 lead after five. That should have gotten him his first win since July 2, but then the Mariners pen gave up six runs in an 8-7 loss. Miller’s next outing is slated to take place in Coors Field on Saturday, though he might be piggybacking then if Emerson Hancock is deemed ready to throw a few innings.
Bryce Miller

SEA Starting Pitcher #50

Bryce Miller allowed four runs with six strikeouts over 3 2/3 innings in a loss against the Rangers on Tuesday.

Miller served up a solo homer to Corey Seager in the first inning. He gave up a second run on a walk and a base hit in the second. After a scoreless third, he ran into more trouble in the fourth as he departed with the bases loaded and two outs. Two inherited runners would come in to score. The 28-year-old right-hander will take a 4.22 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and a 101/29 K/BB ratio across 102 1/3 innings into a start against the Athletics in Sacramento on Sunday.

Bryce Miller received a no-decision in Wednesday’s win over the Red Sox, allowing one earned run on seven hits over 4 2/3 innings.

Miller struck out three and walked one, lowering his ERA to 4.01. It wasn’t the most efficient effort, but it was a step in the right direction after allowing five earned runs or more in three consecutive starts. Miller was phenomenal in his initial return from injury this season, but he entered Wednesday with a 7.18 ERA in the second half. He was going to be sent to the bullpen recently, but Emerson Hancock’s injury reopened a rotation spot. He’ll draw the Rangers at home next time out.

The Mariners will put Bryce Miller in the bullpen for now, manager Dan Wilson said.

It’s a temporary move, according to Wilson. Miller went 4-2 with a 1.71 ERA in his first nine starts back from an oblique strain this season, but he’s 0-6 with a 7.19 ERA in his last eight turns and he’s admitted to dealing with a lat issue. Going back to five starters should give the rest of Seattle’s rotation a little extra fantasy value, but the team will still likely give Kade Anderson extra days off when they can.

SEA Starting Pitcher #50

Bryce Miller gave up seven runs in 4 2/3 innings and picked up a loss to the Cubs on Sunday.

In Bryce Miller’s last two starts, the Mariners have been outscored 41-2. The second number isn’t his fault, the first one he’s at least partially responsible for, obviously. The right-hander could not find the strike zone for the overwhelming majority of the outing, and he walked seven while throwing just 60-of-104 pitches for strikes. Miller was as good as any pitcher in baseball at one point, but he’s been borderline atrocious since the All-Star break. He’ll face the Blue Jays in Toronto next weekend if Seattle doesn’t alter the rotation.
Bryce Miller

SEA Starting Pitcher #50

Bryce Miller allowed six runs -- five earned -- with three strikeouts over 4 2/3 innings in a loss against the Brewers on Tuesday.

Miller gave up an unearned run on an error in the first inning. He settled in for three scoreless innings before getting torched for five runs in the fifth, including a three-run blast by Christian Yelich. Miller departed with two outs in the inning at 92 pitches. He struck out three. The 27-year-old right-hander will take a 3.71 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and an 87/18 K/BB ratio across 89 2/3 innings into a start against the Cubs in Seattle on Sunday.

Bryce Miller allowed five runs in six innings and got a no-decision against the Yankees on Wednesday.

Miller gave up eight hits, walked one and struck out five. He hasn’t won a start since July 2 against the Angels and has allowed at least four earned runs in four of his last six starts since then. Miller has a solid 3.39 ERA and 3.62 xFIP in 85 innings this year. He’s lined up to face the Brewers on the road next week.

Bryce Miller struggled in a losing effort against the Tigers on Thursday afternoon, surrendering four runs on five hits over his five innings of work.

Miller struck out five opposing hitters in the contest while issuing a pair of free passes. The Tigers jumped on him for three runs in the opening inning, including a two-run blast by Dillon Dingler. Dingler then tacked on an RBI single in the third inning. The 27-year-old hurler generated 10 swings and misses on 93 offerings on the day, posting a CSW of 25 percent. He’ll attempt to bounce back as he carries a stellar 3.08 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and a 79/15 K/BB ratio (79 innings) into Wednesday’s matchup against the Yankees in New York.

Jackson Chourio went 4-for-5 with an RBI double and a steal as the Brewers decimated the Rays 10-1 on Monday to open up a 3-0 lead in the World Series.

Chourio singled and scored in a two-run third and then had a two-hits as part of an eight-run fifth inning in which the Brewers collected seven straight hits with two outs. He has eight hits through three World Series games, and if things continue to play out like this, series MVP honors will probably come down to him or William Contreras. Game 4 is slated for Tuesday night. Both starters are TBA, though Griffin Jax and Dustin May figure to be involved.

Robert Gasser faced the minimum over six innings as the Brewers crushed the Rays in Game 3 on Monday.

Gasser gave up a Yandy Díaz single to begin the bottom of the first, but he faced only three batters then after Chandler Simpson, who barely beat out a double play ball on which Díaz was retired, was caught stealing. The only other batter to reach was Victor Mesa Jr. on a walk in the sixth, and he was erased on a Nick Fortes double play. Gasser’s three postseason starts have seen him give up only one run in 15 innings. It’s a distant concern right now, but he’s probably locked up his spot in the 2027 rotation.

Pitching in a game for the first time since July 4, Brandon Woodruff allowed one run in the ninth Monday to finish off Game 3 against the Rays.

Woodruff, returning from a shoulder injury, allowed one run on a soft infield single and a ringing double from Yandy Díaz, but he looked fine in averaging 91.2 mph with his fastball and topping out at 93.1 mph. It was his first postseason appearance since the 2021 NLDS, when he lost a 3-0 game to the Braves and later pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings in relief.

Freddy Peralta was charged with five runs in 4 2/3 innings in losing Game 3 of the World Series against the Brewers.

Peralta surrendered two runs in the third on three singles and a walk. The rest of the damage came in the fifth, which was very nearly a scoreless frame. However, an overturned call correctly got Christian Yelich second base ahead of Junior Caminero’s relay on a grounder to third with two outs. Peralta was then pulled with the bases loaded, and the Brewers went on to score eight runs, collecting four straight hits off Cam Booser and two more off Cole Sulser before the inning finally concluded. It was probably a very disappointing end to a stellar postseason run for Peralta, who was the ALCS MVP against the Guardians. But there’s still a chance the Rays will rally and give him one more chance.
