The 25-year-old right-hander punched out seven batters on the afternoon while issuing only one base on balls. The only hit that he allowed came on a solo home run off the bat of Elly De La Cruz in the second inning, aside from that Miller was incredible. He got six swings and misses on 91 pitches on the impressive day, posting a solid CSW of 30 percent. Miller has been outstanding through his first four starts on the season, registering a 1.85 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and a 24/7 K/BB ratio over 24 1/3 innings. He’ll look to keep the good times rolling when he squares off against the Rangers in Arlington on Wednesday.

He takes the spot of Jason Alexander, who was sent down Thursday. VanWey made nine appearances for the Astros last season, amassing a 5.06 ERA in 10 2/3 innings. He’d opened this year with a 5.74 ERA in 15 relief appearances with Sugar Land.

Harris declined the assignment and is now a free agent. He’s hit .233/.333/.302 in 52 plate appearances with the White Sox and Astros this season.

One imagines he’ll become a free agent. Moore got just 12 at-bats for the Phillies and went hitless before being DFA’d on Saturday.

Englert is returning from an 18-day absence without having gone on a rehab assignment. He’s expected to pitch tonight in relief of Jesse Scholtens, and he’ll likely continue to build up as a starter.

The 28-year-old Solesky didn’t get into a game in his three days with the Rays, so he’s still yet to make his major league debut.

The Mets aren’t bailing on the season just yet, but if things don’t get better in the coming weeks, Peralta, a free agent to be, would become one of the top names on the trade market. The Mets gave up Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat to acquire Peralta and Tobias Myers from the Brewers in January. Peralta has opened the season 2-3 with a 3.12 ERA through eight starts.

The Reds needed a spot on the active roster for Nick Lodolo, so Franco was the odd man out. The 25-year-old has allowed eight runs (seven earned) on 15 hits in 14 2/3 innings out of the bullpen this season. He will likely get another chance this summer.

Lodolo is set to make his season debut on Friday. He had a blister issue crop up at the end of spring training and then had it reappear on April 2nd during his first rehab build-up. Blisters have been a recurring issue for Lodolo in the past, and his command in his last Triple-A rehab appearance was not great, so we’d rather stash him on our bench for this first start than make him active, but he deserves to be rostered in most league types.

This has been a tough season for Bido. The White Sox were his seventh organization in the last five months. He could return to them if he clears waivers but perhaps another team is willing to claim him and give him a shot.

The 25-year-old Schweitzer was up at the beginning of April and made one appearance. He’ll provide some depth in the White Sox’s bullpen.
