|
| The Score is reporting that the Florida Marlins have recalled lefty Andrew Miller from Triple-A New Orleans. Miller has a 4.81 ERA with the team this season. |
Our View: Miller has had his ups and downs with the Marlins this season, but the team hopes they can get something out of him down the stretch. With the inconsistent play of Sean West, Miller may get the chance to start for the team at some point.
|
|
|
|
| MLB.com is reporting that Marlins' pitcher Andrew Miller threw a flat-ground session on Monday. Miller suffered an ankle injury while pitching with the Marlins' Triple-A affiliate. |
Our View: Miller is pitching in the minors while he tries to work out some kinks in his delivery, and it looks like he may be done with the Marlins for this season. Unless he gets it all figured out quick, don't expect to see much of him in a Marlins' uniform until 2010.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller faired poorly in his second Triple-A start, according to the Miami Herald. In just one inning, he allowed three hits, two walks, a hit batter, and four runs. He left after the inning complaining of a sprained ankle. |
Our View: It appears as if Miller will be in the minors for some time, seeing how he is performing so poorly this season. Anibal Sanchez remains hurt and Burke Badenhop will make a spot start on Saturday. If the Marlins do not trade for a pitcher, expect them to recall Sean West at some point.
|
|
|
|
| The Miami Herald is reporting that the Florida Marlins have optioned starting pitcher Andrew Miller to Triple-A New Orleans. In a corresponding move, the team recalled corner infielder Gaby Sanchez from the Triple-A affiliate. |
Our View: Miller has show spurts of solid play this season, but overall his inconsistencies make him a very risky fantasy play. He is 3-5 with a 4.81 ERA in 14 starts with the club this season, and expect him to be back in the rotation for the Fish before long.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller was unimpressive on Sunday, lasting just 2.2 innings as Philadelphia cruised to a 5-0 win, and sweep, in Miami. |
Our View: Miller continues to be wildly inconsistent, and it's hard to justify owning him outside of NL-only formats.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller scattered seven hits over 6.2 innings of work on Saturday, while allowing three earned runs, which was enough to earn his third victory of the season, as the Marlins beat Pittsburgh 5-3. |
Our View: Miller is still a ways away from being a top-tier fantasy pitcher, but has been serviceable enough in 2009. In very deep mixed or NL-only leagues, he could be worth owning, and he is a decent spot-starting option in all formats.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller struggled a bit on Sunday as the Marlins fell to the Rays 5-2. Miller went 6.1 innings and allowed five runs on eight hits while walking one and striking out four. He is now 2-4 on the year. |
Our View: Miller has been pretty good as of late, but today wasn't one of his better efforts. Miller has the ability, but until he shows he can be consistent every time out his fantasy value will remain very high risk. NL-only leaguers may want to give him a look if you need a starter, but mixed leaguers should stay away.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller allowed only one hit over seven innings on Tuesday, but didn't factor into the decision as the Marlins eventually beat the Orioles 7-6 in 12 innings. |
Our View: It was the first time Miller had gone seven innings since May 21. He is still only a spot starting option at this point, but he is a good one because of his ability to pitch games like tonight.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller took a no-decision on Thursday in the Marlins 6-5 loss to the Cardinals. He gave up three earned runs in 6.1 innings while fanning eight. |
Our View: Miller's outing was going great until the sixth inning when he grooved a 3-1 fastball to Albert Pujols, who nearly hit the pitch into the upper deck of Landshark Stadium for a two-run home run. It was still a mostly positive showing for the young hurler, however, as had his first walk free start of the season in addition to the eight strikeouts.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller picked up his second win on Saturday as the Marlins defeated the Giants 5-4. Miller went 5.2 innings and allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits while walking one and striking out five. |
Our View: Miller has been much better as of late, and he is finally starting to show his abilities. Although he has been a major disappointment in his major league career so far, he is still young and he has the potential to turn into a very good fantasy pitcher. NL-only leagues should give him a look, but he is not quite at a mixed league level yet.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller had a strong start Thursday in the Marlins' 4-3 loss to Arizona. He allowed just two runs on four hits and two walks over seven innings and struck out nine. |
Our View: This was a very positive start for Miller as he's struggled with his control this season. Just two walks over seven innings was a big step forward. He's a talented young hurler (like the rest of the Marlins' staff) and if he can control his wildness will be very effective.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller made his return to the Marlins' rotation on Saturday, and he picked up the victory in Florida's 5-3 win over the Dodgers. Miller went five innings and allowed two runs on four hits while walking four and striking out four. |
Our View: Miller was better today than he was before his injury, but he still walked four in just five innings. Miller still has quite a bit of potential, and he could be useable in NL-only leagues right now. If he gets his control reigned in, he could be a good mixed league pitcher as well, but he is just not there right now.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller looked good through with 83 pitches and six innings in a rehab start with Double-A Jacksonville on Monday, allowing one run off five hits and two walks with five strikeouts, according to MLB.com. |
Our View: Miller, coming off a strained left oblique, is scheduled to return to Florida's roster on Saturday and start against the Dodgers. While injuries and control have both always been major issues, Miller still does possess a nice skill-set and is worth picking up in NL-only leagues.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller, who is recovering from a strained right oblique, is on schedule to return to the Marlins' rotation next Saturday, according to the Miami Herald. |
Our View: This is good news, as Anibal Sanchez is dealing with a shoulder injury and will be on the shelf for two months. Hopefully Miller will pitch better upon his return, as he held a poor 6.94 ERA and 1.89 WHIP over 11.2 innings (two starts) prior to going down.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller had a successful first rehab start at Single-A Jupiter on Wednesday, according to MLB.com. He threw 60 pitches in four innings while allowing three hits and a walk, while striking out five. He will up the pitch count to 80-85 at Double-A on Monday. He is recovering from a strained oblique. |
Our View: Miller hopes to be ready to go for the Marlins on May 16, and the Marlins hope that he can be more effective once he is able to go again. Through his first four appearances, he has a 6.94 ERA and 1.89 WHIP.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller is slated to pitch in a minor league rehab game today in Jupiter, Florida, according to MLB.com. He is recovering from a strained right oblique. |
Our View: If he fares fine, Miller will make another rehab start Monday with Double-A Jacksonville. He is nearing his return to the Marlins' rotation, and shall remain stashed in NL-only leagues.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller threw a bullpen session Monday, according to the Miami Herald. He has been recovering from a strained right oblique. |
Our View: Miller will need at least two rehab starts before returning to the Marlins. He will make a start Wednesday with Class-A Jupiter and another on Monday with Double-A Jacksonville. Miller is hoping that additional stretching exercises will improve his flexiblity and prevent the injury from happening again.
|
|
|
|
| Pitcher Andrew Miller (oblique) had another fruitful bullpen session on Saturday morning, and he will likely make a minor league rehab start on Tuesday, the Miami Herald reports. |
Our View: Miller may not need more than one or two rehab starts before he rejoins the Marlins rotation. Let's hope he learned how to throw strikes during the time off.
|
|
|
|
| Pitcher Andrew Miller threw 30 pitches in a bullpen session on Monday, and he came through without pain. He is out due to a strained right oblique. Miller will make at least one minor league rehab outing before returning to the majors, the Miami Herald notes. |
Our View: The Marlins are wisely taking it slow with Miller. Oblique strains have a habit of lingering, and they want to make sure Miller is fully over this injury before he returns to the majors.
|
|
|
|
| The Marlins placed Andrew Miller on the 15-day DL with a right oblique strain after his rough outing against the Pirates on Monday, according to MLB.com. |
Our View: Miller apparently tweaked the muscle in a relief outing on April 11, which would help explain why he was unable to make it out of the fifth inning in either of his two starts. He's only worth owning in the deepest of leagues at this point. Burke Badenhop will be recalled from Triple-A New Orleans to fill Miller's spot on the roster and is a candidate for the No. 5 spot in Florida's rotation.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller was again less than satisfactory in his second start of the season on Monday, giving up four runs off five hits and four walks while striking out one in a loss to the Pirates. |
Our View: While he is still just 23 years old, it's tough to feel too confident that the lefty will ever be able to get his above-average stuff together for a consistent grouping of starts. It's tough to recommend owning him in any format at this point.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller loaded the bases and recorded just one out as he appeared in relief of Chris Volstad in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Nationals. Miller was needing to get some work in as the Marlins schedule allows them to skip their fifth starter the first time through the rotation. |
Our View: Miller has all the potential in the world, but if he ever reaches a level of success it will definitely be as a starter. He had a poor season last year, and should be considered a risk in fantasy leagues.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller has been named the fifth starter in the Marlins' rotation, according to MLB-Blogs.com. |
Our View: He will make his first start April 15 against the Braves. The 23-year-old has great potential and is worth targeting as a sleeper for NL-only leagues.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller had one of his best starts of spring training as the Marlins fell to the Cardinals 2-1 on Monday. He allowed no runs in six innings while giving up four hits, a walk, and striking out three. |
Our View: Miller has had a rocky spring, but he still has a spot in the Marlins talented rotation. He is still just 24, and he's only an effective third pitch away from being a front of the rotation starter. However, it's anyone's guess if the third offering will ever be developed.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller allowed two earned runs on six hits over five innings in Friday's 8-6 win over Atlanta, with one walk and two strikeouts. |
Our View: Miller continues to struggle in spring training, as he holds a 7.82 ERA. He needs to step up in his next outing if he expects to hold onto the fifth spot in the Marlins' rotation.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller allowed four runs, three earned, over four innings of work in the Marlins 9-5 win over the Twins on Saturday. He allowed three hits, three walks, and a home run while striking out two hitters. |
Our View: It's been a fairly pitiful spring for the 24-year-old. The Marlins would like to insert him into their rotation, but he has given them every reason not to. In 7.2 innings, he has allowed 13 hits, five walks, and nine earned runs. At this point, he does not look like one of the youngsters worth gambling on.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller had another shock-wave therapy procedure on his right knee last month, according to the Palm Beach Post. The follow-up procedure was planned when Miller, who spent time on the disabled list last year with knee tendinitis, had it done the first time last summer. |
Our View: The lefty started working out last week in Jupiter and is expected to be ready for spring training. He doesn't need to be drafted in fantasy leagues but certainly has the talent to be a waiver wire pick-up.
|
|
|
|
| Marlins lefty Andrew Miller will be activated from the disabled list on Monday, according to FloridaMarlins.com. |
Our View: Miller has been a bit disappointing this season, carrying an ERA of 5.63 and a record of 5-9. However, he is averaging more than seven strikeouts per nine innings, and figures to only get better. Eventually, he'll be a pitcher fantasy owners will want on their squad.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller is getting closer to returning to the big leagues as he continues to recover from patella tendinitis in his right leg, according to FloridaMarlins.com. He will make a start for the Marlins Double-A affiliate on Thursday. |
Our View: Miller could be back before September 1, but fantasy owners need not worry about that, as he has not done enough to prove he belongs on anybody's squad, regardless of format.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller, who is battling right patellar tendinitis, feels he is still about 2-3 weeks away from returning to the Marlins, according to the Miami Herald. |
Our View: Miller may not have a rotation spot when he returns, if Anibal Sanchez fares well. He is not worth waiting for as a fantasy hurler, especially since he held a 5.63 ERA and 1.66 WHIP over 20 starts with the club this season.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller, on the 15-day DL since July 18 with patella tendinitis in right knee, threw a side session in Florida and is expected to throw another one Monday according to the AP. |
Our View: He will likely face a rehab assignment before appearing once again in the majors. He has a 5.63 ERA thru 100 innings thus far in 2008. The Marlins are not likely to rush their rookie back into action.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller is going to try shock wave therapy on his ailing right knee, hoping to speed up the healing process, according to the Miami Herald.
|
Our View: Miller said he could resume throwing off a mound by the weekend but won't make the trip to Chicago and doesn't expect to be ready when he is first eligible to come off the DL July 29. The team will know within four weeks if the shock therapy works.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller is throwing lightly, MLB.com reports. He is on the DL due to right patellar tendinitis. |
Our View: This report doesn't enlighten his status much. The young southpaw still might need an operation to correct his knee issue.
|
|
|
|
| Marlins hurler Andrew Miller may have to undergo season-ending surgery to repair chronic right knee tendinitis, according to the Palm Beach Post. |
Our View: Miller is uber-talented, and despite his struggles this season, he will eventually become someone to covet in fantasy leagues; just not this season.
|
|
|
|
| The Palm Beach Post reports that Andrew Miller has been placed on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to Monday, with right knee tendinitis. The right knee is his landing knee, so it affects his delivery. |
Our View: Hopefully Miller comes back strong after the time off. He has been a disappointment thus far in the season.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller recorded only five outs and lost his fourth straight decision on Sunday afternoon. The young left-hander allowed seven runs on five hits and issued a season-high five walks. It was the second-shortest outing in his 33 career starts. |
Our View: Miller continues to be extremely inconsistent, but according to skipper Freddie Garcia the big southpaw will remain in the rotation.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller was roughed up for four runs in the first inning by the punchless Padres on Tuesday. On the night, he lasted five innings, walked four, struck out five, and gave up six hits. He did not allow a run after the first. |
Our View: Miller hasn't been able to figure it out in 2007. His ERA is 5.09 after 19 starts. Here's hoping it's just an adjustment period and not foreshadowing the rest of his promising career.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller allowed six runs, three earned, on five hits in 5.2 innings on Saturday night. Miller walked three and struck out four in a 6-2 loss to the Diamondbacks. |
Our View: The Marlins lefty has just one win in his last seven decisions and most of his struggles can be attributed to his 3.86 BB/9 ratio.
|
|
|
|
| The Marlins will turn to young starter Andrew Miller in their battle with the Arizona Diamondbacks today, according to the Sports Network. |
Our View: Miller was successful in his first meeting with the Diamondbacks on May 22nd, scattering five hits over seven scoreless innings, walking one and striking out nine in the Marlins' 4-0 victory. He's 1-3 in six starts since, however, including a 7-1 loss to Oakland on June 22nd in which he gave up seven hits and four earned runs in four innings.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller lasted only four innings on Sunday allowing five runs, four were earned, against the A's as his record fell to 5-6. Miller only had one K on the day, but he also walked only two batters. |
Our View: Miller didn't pitch terribly on Sunday, he actually ran into a bit of bad luck, but the overall line didn't show that. Don't be overly concerned with this outing, though Miller still has a ways to go to be considered worthy of starting every week in mixed leagues.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller allowed one run over seven innings against the Mariners to even his record at 5-5 on the year. Miller walked two and struck out two in the outing. |
Our View: It certainly wasn't one of his big strikeout efforts, but it was the second straight outing that he has allowed just one run over seven innings as his ERA has fallen to a season low 4.87.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller will be looking to even his record to 5-5 when the Marlins face the Mariners in Seattle tonight, according to MLB.com. |
Our View: Miller is only 4-5 with a poor 5.22 ERA and 1.61 WHIP, but has allowed two or less earned runs in six of his last eight starts, and is facing a Mariners team that is an MLB-worst 24-45. Miller has a great arm, and ranks as a potential sleeper tonight for NL-only leagues.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller had another in a series of solid outings on Wednesday as he allowed just one run over seven innings of work. Miller also struck out seven and permitted just a single walk. |
Our View: Miller can dominate just about any lineup if he has his control, and on this night he did just that as he needed only 98 pitches to complete seven innings of work.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller is set to duel with Johan Santana in a battle of lefties tonight at Shea Stadium, according to MLB.com. Miller is 4-3 over 10 starts this season, with a 5.33 ERA and 1.66 WHIP. |
Our View: Miller was rocked for five runs on eight hits over 4.1 innings of work in his previous outing against the Mets on April 2, but has allowed two or fewer runs in each of his last four starts. He threw seven scoreless innings against Washington and did the same against Arizona over the span. He is worth consideration for your lineups tonight.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller pitched the best game of his young career on Thursday night as he dominated the D'backs over seven innings to push his record to 4-3. Miller didn't allow a single run, walked just one and struck out nine. |
Our View: This is the type of effort that led to the Marlins trading for Miller who can dominate one night and look lost the next. Right now he looks great with four straight starts with two or fewer runs allowed, though his ratios are still ugly because of some unsettling work earlier in the season.
|
|
|
|
| The Marlins/Reds game was postponed on Thursday due to bad weather, and as a result the Fish will simply push back starter Andrew Miller a day and have him start on Friday against the Royals, according to the Associated Press. |
Our View: Miller has allowed only two runs in his last two starts thanks to a huge improvement in his K/BB ratio (11 K, three BB). If he can continue to throw strikes he certainly has the stuff to be an effective starter even though he is inexperienced.
|
|
|
|
| Florida LHP Andrew Miller may be difficult to recognize through the forest of offense the Marlins produced this evening, but he certainly deserves praise for the strong outing. Miller pitched seven innings, failing to surrender a single run on just two hits allowed, walking one and striking out seven. |
Our View: This was Miller's deepest and most productive outing thus far, giving him his second win in his last three starts.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller had another poor outing Tuesday, giving up six runs on nine hits and two walks without a strikeout over three innings. |
Our View: The young left-hander hasn't had a single good start all year, and his ERA now sits at 9.12. His rotation spot has to be in jeopardy.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller picked up his first win with his best outing of the season as he limited the Braves to two runs, one earned, over five innings. |
Our View: Once again Miller had trouble controlling the strike zone throwing 95 pitches in five innings as he permitted nine hits and two walks on the night. He also failed to record a single strikeout, so when we say this was his "best" outing of the year, it's certainly relative.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller will be looking for his first win of the season when he takes the hill at Atlanta tonight, according to MLB.com. He has not worked more than five innings in any of his four starts, and has given up at least five earned runs in all but one of them. He is 0-2 with a 9.68 ERA. |
Our View: He is off to a poor start, but on the positive side, he has racked up 18 strikeouts over 17.2 innings pitched. He should remain on your bench, but could become worth using at some point this season.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller still has the full backing of the Marlins management as he struggles through a slow start to the season, this according to MLB.com. "He battles," Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "He doesn't give in..."As far with Andrew, you see improvement. You see his confidence level still there. I think it's encouraging..." |
Our View: Miller has a 9.68 ERA and 2.21 WHIP through four starts, though there are positive signs like 18 K in 17.2 IP that leave room for the hope that he will be fantasy worthy at some point. For now, he should remain on your bench however.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller had his best outing of the season as he held the Nationals to only three runs in five innings. Miller picked up the no-decision as he allowed six hits and two walks while picking up three K. |
Our View: Better, but still a long ways from great. This start should at least quiet talk that Miller will be sent to the minors, but he continues to be on the edge of being a recommended play even in NL Only leagues.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller had his third straight nightmarish outing on Saturday night as he allowed eight hits, four BB and five runs in just five innings to pick up his second loss of the year. |
Our View: The team keeps saying all the right things, but at a certain point they are going to have to send Miller down to the minors as they just can't keep running him out there to get his brains beat out every night.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller is reportedly being ordered to throw harder, according to the Palm Beach Post. His velocity hasn't reached 90 mph in either of his first two starts, but the team stated that his health is fine. Manager Gonzalez noted, "The problem is that Miller is compensating his velocity by trying to be careful to throw more strikes. Against the Yankees, it was 92, 95, 97, and we haven't seen that since. Not even close. I don't want him to take away from his velocity to try to throw strikes. You want to see the zip, you want to see the life that hitters were missing." Miller is 0-1 with a 12.91 ERA, but has nine strikeouts over 7.2 innings.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller had a brutal outing on Monday night allowing six runs in just 3.1 innings for the Marlins. Miller needed 91 pitches to to pick up 10 outs as he allowed eight hits and one walk to the Nationals. At least Miller didn't walk everyone in the park, but with a 12.91 ERA after two starts he might find himself walking back to the minors if he doesn't turn things around soon. |
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller lost his first start of the season by allowing five runs in 4.1 innings on eight hits and two walks. Miller also showed flashes of his dominating stuff with six strikeouts on the night, but he needed 90 pitches to make it through less than five innings. Until he learns to throw more quality strikes, Miller will likely struggle to be a productive fantasy hurler though there is no disputing the fact that he certainly possesses the stuff to be a dominating starter. |
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller, the sentimental favorite here at RotoTimes to get the opening day start for the Fish, allowed two runs on six hits with three walks and two strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings against Houston on Friday. The Astros used what appears to be their opening day lineup; Hunter Pence, Mark Loretta, Lance Berkman, Carlos Lee, Miguel Tejada and others, so the appearance is promising for the young Miller. The upside to Miller's fantasy value is his strikeout potential, so the fact he registered but two K's in almost six spring innings is bit concerning. |
|
|
|
| The good news is that Andrew Miller held the Red Sox hitless over three innings on Monday. The bad news? Miller allowed one run thanks to the five walks he issued. Control was a major problem for Miller over his 13 starts with the Tigers in 2007, and the 21-year-old southpaw has to improve in this area before we'll take him seriously as a fantasy commodity. |
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller appears to be locked in to one of the Marlins five rotation spots barring a collapse in spring according to a report on MLB.com. The rotation will also include Scott Olsen, Mark Hendrickson and Sergio Mitre with Ricky Nolasco and Rick VandenHurk the leaders for the fifth spot in the rotation. Miller and Olsen could be two of the most dominant lefties in baseball over the next decade, though both need to work on their control, their common limiting factor on their path to success. |
|
|
|
| The Tigers have no intentions of re-inserting Andrew Miller into the rotation this year. Miller was sent down yesterday, a day after giving up five runs in just 2/3 of an inning in a loss to the Royals. There's a chance he could be used out of the bullpen at some point in September, but there aren't any immediate plans to use him in that role. Miller will "definitely will be a candidate" for the season-opening rotation next season, manager Jim Leyland told the Detroit Free Press. |
|
|
|
| The Tigers optioned Andrew Miller to Single-A Lakeland Thursday. The move comes a day after Miller gave up five runs in just 2/3 of an inning against the Royals. "We rolled the dice, and it's obvious that he needs more time," said Tigers manager Jim Leyland in the Detroit News. "I think Andrew Miller is going to be an outstanding pitcher in the Tigers rotation for a long time. When that happens, I don't know. But I think this kid will be a lights-out pitcher for a long time." Virgil Vasquez was recalled from Triple-A Toledo and will start on Friday. |
|
|
|
| It's possible Andrew Miller, who gave up five runs in just 2/3 of an inning Wednesday, won't make his next start. Manager Jim Leyland said he and pitching coach Chuck Hernandez would talk Wednesday night about their options with Miller, according to the Detroit Free Press. If Miller doesn't start as scheduled next Tuesday, the Tigers could either skip him in the rotation or put someone in his place, likely Zach Miner, for at least one start. The lefty has given up 11 runs in five innings since returning from the DL. |
|
|
|
| As expected, the Tigers activated Andrew Miller from the DL Friday, and the lefty will get the ball tonight against the Yankees. Miller had been sidelined by a strained hamstring. |
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller will return from the disabled list and start Friday's series opener against the Yankees. Miller has been out with a strained hamstring, according to the Detroit Free Press. |
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller looked good in his second rehab start Monday, allowing one run on one hit while striking out five over three innings. "It felt good - threw some more strikes, didn't walk anybody; I think those are positives," Miller said in the Detroit Free Press. "The leg feels great. It hasn't bothered me in a while." If the Tigers feel the lefty is recovered enough from his strained left hamstring, he could get a start this weekend against the Yankees. |
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller (hamstring) was not effective in his rehab start for Triple-A Toledo Wednesday, allowing five runs in the first inning on four hits and three walks. He wound up pitching two more scoreless innings. "Andrew struggled with his command in the first, but the big plus is that he battled the last two innings and settled down a bit," Toledo manager Mike Rojas told the Detroit Free Press. |
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller has improved to the point that he's scheduled to make a rehab start with Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, according to the Detroit Free Press. Miller, who is on the disabled list with a strained left hamstring, could rejoin the Tigers as soon as a week from Tuesday. |
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller landed on the 15-day disabled list on Saturday due to a left hamstring strain. The AP reported that Miller injured the hamstring on his last pitch of the fourth inning on Friday, and he couldn’t warm up for the fifth. Miller stay on the DL isn’t expected to last longer than the 15 required days. Fernando Rodney was called up from Triple-A Toledo and reinstated from the disabled list to take the roster spot. It's unclear who will replace Miller in Detroit's rotation. |
Our View: Getting Rodney back into the bullpen is almost bigger news than Miller getting hurt. Andrew will be fine when he gets back, so fantasy owners shouldn’t hesitate to use him.
|
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller left Friday's start with a mild left hamstring strain, according to the AP. "I hurt it on the last pitch to (Paul) Konerko in the fourth," Miller said. "I thought it was a cramp but it wouldn't go away. The doctors said it was very mild and I should miss the shortest time possible." Miller is considered day-to-day, and it doesn't look like he'll be forced to miss a start. |
|
|
|
| It appears rookie Andrew Miller’s spot in the Tigers rotation is safe, though nothing is set in stone. Manager Jim Leyland still hasn’t decided what to do after Kenny Rogers and Nate Robertson both return to the rotation soon. According to the Detroit News, Miller will pitch on Sunday, with Monday’s start going to either Chad Durbin or Mike Maroth. |
|
|
|
| Andrew Miller will be called up in time to start Sunday against the Mets, the Tigers official site reports. Miller will be taking over for Nate Robertson (tired arm), who went on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday. |

| With Jeremy Bonderman set to return from the disabled list on Thursday, Andrew Miller was sent back to Double-A, where he’ll start for the Erie Seawolves on Thursday. Manager Jim Leyland told the Tigers official website that he believes Miller could start on a regular basis for the big club and has no plans to move him to the bullpen, so instead he will get more seasoning at the minor league level. Barring another injury to a member of the Tigers top five starters, Miller won't be making an immediate fantasy impact. |

| The Tigers optioned Andrew Miller to Double-A Erie on Tuesday, according to the AP. He made just one start for Detroit, throwing six shutout innings against the Cardinals and earning the victory. It's possible Miller could get another callup later in the year, but he could stand to get more seasoning in the minors. |

| Andrew Miller threw six scoreless innings and picked up his first major league victory on Friday night against the Cardinals. He will be sent back down to the minors once Jeremy Bonderman is healthy. |

| Manager Jim Leyland reiterated on Wednesday that top prospect Andrew Miller is not in the big leagues to stay, despite the fact he’ll be called up to take Jeremy Bonderman’s spot in the rotation on Friday. “We’re planning on Bonderman pitching (May 24th), when he’s eligible to come back, but we’ll not option Miller out right away after this game in case Bonderman isn’t ready,” Leyland told the Detroit News. “It’s very unlikely Miller will stay at this time whether he pitches a no-hitter or gives up 10 runs. It’s not going to make any difference right now.” |

| Andrew Miller will be recalled in time to make his first career start Friday against St. Louis, taking the spot of Jeremy Bonderman, the Tigers official site reports. Miller is expected to stay in the rotation as long as Bonderman is out, though Bonderman (blister on pitching finger) might just miss one turn. Miller is one of the most highly-touted players in Detroit's farm system; he was the sixth overall pick in last summer's draft. |

| Andrew Miller is expected to begin the year at Class-A Lakeland, the Detroit Free Press reports. "He won't be on the team," manager Jim Leyland said. "When I say that, it's 99.9% accurate that he's probably not going to break with the club, (but) that doesn't mean he won't be a member of our staff before the year's over." Miller was Detroit's first-round draft pick last summer. |

Miller, who was the Tigers' No. 1 draft pick in June, threw five scoreless innings at Single-A prior to the promotion. He had a clause written into his contract that he would be called up to the big leagues this year. He'll work in a middle relief role for the Tigers. |
