Brad Miller Stats

Texas Rangers outfielder Brad Miller is leading off and playing left field in Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies with right-hander Chad Kuhl on the mound. Miller rode the bench for each of the team's last two games as a pair of lefties were pitching for the Rangers' opposition. Kuhl will be the third righty that the Rangers have faced this season. Miller also hit leadoff in the other two games in which a righty was on the mound against the team. Miller is off to a hot start to the year as he's gone 4-for-12 with two home runs, five RBI and four runs scored. Fantasy managers in deep daily lock leagues may want to consider rostering Miller as he'll be in a great spot, hitting in front of Marcus Semien and Corey Seager, when he's leading off against righties.

Texas Rangers outfielder Brad Miller is slotting in as the team's leadoff hitter for Opening Day against the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday. The 32-year-old inked a contract with the Rangers last month. He spent the 2021 season with the Philadelphia Phillies and slashed .227/.321/.453 with 20 home runs, 49 RBI and 53 runs over 140 games. He'll be hitting in front of fellow newly-acquired Rangers Marcus Semien and Corey Seager, who are slotting in at No. 2 and No. 3 in the batting order, respectively, on Friday. If Miller can hold down the leadoff spot, he could prove to be a strong source of runs in 2022, but we expect the Rangers to play around with their lineup a good amount in the coming weeks as the roster has so many new additions.

Free-agent infielder Brad Miller agreed to an undisclosed deal with the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night, according to a source. Miller may not have an everyday starting position with the Rangers, but he could a left-handed hitting platoon option at third base with Andy Ibanez in 2022. The 32-year-old isn't going to help any fantasy managers with his average in deeper and AL-only formats, but he still has some pop after hitting 20 long balls in 377 plate appearances over 140 games with the Philadelphia Phillies last year. The nine-year veteran utility infielder is also moving to another hitter-friendly environment and a vastly improved offense, so he could be quite useful in deeper leagues.
