| Justin Miller will be called up by the Giants to fill Joe Martinez's spot in the bullpen, according to the San Jose Mercury News. |
Our View: Martinez will be placed on the 15-day DL after being hit with a line drive and suffering a concussion on Thursday. Miller is not expected to get more than the occasional inning or two in middle relief and thus has no fantasy value.

| MLB.com reports that Justin Miller, who spent the past two seasons working out of the Marlins bullpen, has reached agreement on a Minor League contract with the Giants. |
Our View: After being used heavily in the first half, in both long relief and setup situations, Miller was placed on the disabled list with right elbow inflammation on July 5 and designated for assignment on Aug. 15. In 46 games for Florida this past season, Miller was 4-2 with a 4.24 ERA. He threw 46 2/3 innings, striking out 43 and walking 20.

| The Marlins designated Justin Miller for assignment Friday to clear a roster spot for Paul Lo Duca. |
Our View: This is surprising given that Miller had a terrific 2007 season and a pretty good year so far in 2008. Someone will snatch him up.

| Justin Miller was activated from the DL on Wednesday night and in order to make room for him on the roster the Marlins demoted Ryan Tucker, according to the Associated Press. |
Our View: Tucker made nine appearances for the Marlins going 2-3 with a 7.88 ERA and 1.81 WHIP clearly signifying that he isn't yet ready to contribute. As for Miller, he returns from elbow irritation and will look to find a role of prominence in the bullpen.

|
| The Marlins have placed reliever Justin Miller on the 15-day DL due to right elbow inflammation, the Palm Beach Post reports. |
Our View: Miller can be a decent setup man and maybe useful in NL-only leagues when he's healthy, but he obviously has no business being on fantasy rosters right now.
