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 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.

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.

SEA Starting Pitcher #50

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.

SEA Starting Pitcher #50

Bryce Miller allowed two runs and three hits in 5 1/3 innings Friday in a no-decision versus the Twins.

An unhappy Miller departed up 3-2 after retiring Ryan Jeffers to start the sixth, but the lead was blown an inning later. Miller averaged 95.7 mph with his fastball on six days’ rest tonight. It’s the fifth straight outing in which he’s been in 95.0-.95.8 mph range after never coming in below 96.0 mph in his first eight starts. He’s still a reasonable enough bet to be useful in mixed leagues going forward, but the new ceiling he seemed to be demonstrating a couple of months ago is largely gone now. He’ll face the Rays next.

Bryce Miller will have his next start pushed back to Friday’s series opener against the Twins.

It’s a welcome development for fantasy managers as Miller will be spared from having to face the Dodgers in Los Angeles. That honor goes to Bryan Woo instead. The 27-year-old righty is getting some extra rest after being tagged for five runs over 5 1/3 innings by the Rangers his last time out.

SEA Starting Pitcher #50

Bryce Miller allowed five earned runs over 5 1/3 innings, picking up the loss on Friday against the Rangers.

Miller didn’t strike out a batter in this one. The righty allowed only one free pass on the night, but the Rangers made the most of the six hits they tallied against Miller. Wyatt Langford blasted a solo homer off him in the first inning to give the Rangers a 1-0 lead, and Jake Burger’s two-run homer in the fourth inning would push the Rangers’ lead to 3-1. The Rangers would plate two more runs in the sixth inning and eventually forced Miller from the game. The five earned runs Miller allowed were the most he has surrendered in any game this season. He’ll look to get back on track in his next start which is scheduled for Wednesday on the road against the Dodgers.
Bryce Miller

SEA Starting Pitcher #50

Bryce Miller yielded three runs — two earned — in 5 2/3 innings Friday in a loss to the Giants.

Miller left a splitter up to Bryce Eldridge in the fifth, and Eldridge drilled it out to center for a two-run homer. The unearned run came after he exited in the sixth, an inning that featured an error by Colt Emerson before Miller departed and an error by Cole Young afterwards. Even though he was on seven days’ rest, Miller’s velocity was again down tonight; he averaged 95.1 mph, matching his season low from his final start before the break. 95.1 mph was also his career average through the end of 2025, so it doesn’t spell doom. Still, there’s less reason for excitement now than when he was averaging 96.4 mph in his first nine outings. Miller will likely make his next start Friday against the Rangers.

Bryce Miller will start Friday’s game against the Giants.

The Mariners will open the second half with Miller on Friday, Bryan Woo on Saturday, and Logan Gilbert on Sunday. All three of them have been gifted a good matchup against a Giants team that has struggled at the plate this year.

SEA Starting Pitcher #50

Bryce Miller struggled in a losing effort against the Marlins on Thursday night, allowing six runs (four earned) on nine hits across his five innings of work.

Miller also issued four free passes in the ballgame while striking out three. The Marlins got to him for two runs in the second inning, including a solo homer off the bat of Griffin Conine. They then added four more — including a pair of unearned runs — in the fifth inning. The 27-year-old righty got 10 whiffs on 81 pitches in the ballgame, registering a CSW of 25 percent. Despite the poor effort to finish the first half, Miller heads into the All-Star break with a brilliant 2.18 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and a 65/9 K/BB ratio over 57 2/3 innings through his first 10 appearances (nine starts).

Pete Fairbanks was removed from Monday’s game against the Red Sox with nerve irritation in his right hand.

It’s been a recurring issue for Fairbanks, who dealt with a similar issue that required a trip to the injured list back in May. He’ll be reevaluated prior to Tuesday’s game before a decision on his next steps is made. The 32-year-old stopper was lifted from Monday’s appearance against the Red Sox after issuing a leadoff walk in the ninth inning of a tie ballgame. It would most likely be Calvin Faucher taking over as Miami’s primary closer in his absence. He’s worthy of a speculative roster spot in deeper mixed leagues.

Daylen Lile went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer, five RBI and one stole base on Monday, powering the Nationals to a 13-3 blowout win over the Rockies.

Lile capped Washington’s unexpected 13-run offensive explosion with a three-run blast in the eighth inning. It was his 16th round-tripper of the season. Amazingly, the Nationals didn’t have a hit through four innings in this one, but still managed to put double-digit runs on the board. Lile has put together an outstanding all-around fantasy campaign, delivering top-30 range value among fantasy outfielders, hitting .246 with 66 runs scored, 16 homers, 71 RBI and 13 steals across 544 plate appearances.

Willi Casto belted a solo homer in Monday’s one-sided loss to the Nationals.

Castro was one of the few bright spots for Colorado in this one as he kicked off the scoring with a solo homer off emerging Nationals ace Cade Cavalli in the fourth inning. It was his 15th big fly of the season and lone hit in four at-bats.

CJ Abrams went 1-for-4 with an RBI double and a pair of stolen bases in his return to the lineup against the Rockies on Monday.

Abrams swiped second base in the opening frame to reach the lofty 25-steal plateau for the fourth consecutive season. Cubs burgeoning star Pete Crow-Armstrong, the presumptive favorite for the NL MVP Award heading into the final month of the season, is the only other player with 25 homers and 25 steals this season. He put Washington ahead for good with an RBI double in the fifth inning and looked like his usual self following a four-game absence due to a sprained left ankle.

Cade Cavalli recorded seven strikeouts and allowed two runs over six innings in a win over the Rockies on Monday.

Cavalli reeled off his ninth consecutive quality start and has accomplished the feat in an astonishing 26 of his 28 starts this season. The 28-year-old former top prospect allowed solo homers to Willi Castro and Ezequiel Tovar, but managed to keep Colorado’s offense in check otherwise. He’s notched at least seven strikeouts in four straight starts since August 8. Simply put, he’s looked like an upper-echelon fantasy starter for a couple months and is going to be an extremely popular early-round pick in drafts next spring. He’ll close out a two-start week with a tasty matchup against the division-rival Marlins on Saturday.

Ryan Feltner was charged with seven runs — four earned — over 5 2/3 innings in a loss to the Nationals on Monday.

Feltner was in control early on before the wheels came off the metaphorical wagon in the middle innings. He was tagged for five runs in the fifth and didn’t make it out of the ensuing frame after putting a pair of runners on-base before departing. He struck out six and also issued four walks. He gave up six hits, but none of them wound up leaving the ballpark. He’s struggled to an inflated 6.08 ERA across 97 2/3 innings this season. He’ll square off against the Braves in a tough road matchup on Saturday.

Dillon Dingler went 1-for-3 with a hit by pitch against the Rays on Monday.

It’s no secret that Dingler’s hot bat has cooled off in recent weeks. He got a base hit in Saturday’s loss to the Royals to break an 0-for-10 streak and then received the day off on Sunday. Back in the lineup Monday, Dingler had another single. The Rays and the Dodgers aren’t great matchups for Tigers hitters this week, but Dingler is due to break out of his slump and has at least shown some signs that his bat might be waking up in his last two games.

Mickey Gasper went 2-for-2 with an RBI double on Monday, helping the Red Sox to a 4-2 win over the Marlins.

Gasper also walked twice, reaching base safely in all four of his plate appearances. He came through with a key hit in this one, delivering a game-tying RBI double off Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara in the fifth inning. The big question is whether he’ll have a role once Roman Anthony (finger) is back from the injured list relatively soon. He’s been on a roll recently, hitting .421 (8-for-19) with three homers and 10 RBI over his last seven games.

Aroldis Chapman tossed a scoreless ninth inning against the Marlins on Monday to record his 30th save of the season.

Chapman was summoned to protect a two-run lead in the final frame and managed to work around a leadoff single by Owen Caissie to preserve the win. The 38-year-old veteran has notched three saves in the last four days and is just three shy of 400 for his career. He’s recorded back-to-back 30-save campaigns for the Red Sox as his unexpected late-career renaissance shows zero signs of slowing down. He joins Mariano Rivera, Trevor Hoffman and Lee Smith as the only relievers with 10 seasons in which they compiled 30-plus saves. Unreal.

Ranger Suarez gave up one run over five innings in a no-decision against the Marlins on Monday.

Suarez was uncharacteristically wild in this one, handing out a season-high four free passes, in addition to hitting a pair of batters, needing a staggering 93 pitches to complete five frames. He finished with four strikeouts and managed to limit Miami’s lineup to just a second-inning sacrifice fly from Otto Lopez. He’s struggled to work deep into starts, pitching into the sixth inning just once in six outings since coming off the injured list on July 26. It hasn’t been a massive issue for the Red Sox since Brayan Bello has been a revelation coming out of the bullpen as a multi-inning weapon. He’ll get the ball against the Yankees in a challenging road tilt to close out a two-start week on Sunday.
