Bryce Miller Fantasy Stats

Seattle Mariners starting pitchers Luis Castillo and Bryce Miller will piggyback each other after a full turn through the rotation. Miller is set to return from the Injured List on Wednesday after missing the start of the season due to an oblique issue. The Mariners plan to use a six-man rotation for one full turn through, but will shake it up after that. The Mariners don't want to disrespect Castillo, who has been a starter throughout his big league career. However, Castillo has been horrible with a 6.29 ERA through seven starts this season. The hope is that putting Castillo and Miller together will end up offering better results for both pitchers. Between the two, Miller is the more desirable fantasy option, but he won't be an ideal streaming choice if he doesn't pitch deep into games.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Bryce Miller (oblique) is set to return from the 15-day Injured List on Wednesday. Miller has been sidelined since the beginning of the season due to a left oblique strain. After making four rehab starts, Miller is ready to return to the big league mound. Miller is scheduled to take the ball against the Houston Astros on Wednesday. He should be worth a look as a waiver wire addition for fantasy managers seeking pitching help. The Mariners will go with a six-man rotation for now, so no one will be booted yet.

The Seattle Mariners are leaning toward activating right-hander Bryce Miller (oblique) from the 15-day injured list on their upcoming road trip, which begins on Friday in Chicago against the White Sox, a club source told Adam Jude of The Seattle Times. Miller is scheduled to join the team in Chicago to check in with coaches and trainers. If he's cleared, the 27-year-old could rejoin Seattle's starting rotation to make his 2026 season debut in the middle of next week in Houston against the division-rival Astros. Miller threw five shutout innings on Wednesday with High-A Everett in what he hopes will be his final minor-league rehab start. "I'm ready to go," Miller said. He's been on the 15-day injured list all season to this point, but he's worth a look on the waiver wire for fantasy managers seeking rotation help. Miller is currently rostered in only 29% of Yahoo leagues and is hoping to regain his 2024 form, when he had a 2.94 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, and 171:45 K:BB in 31 starts, after an injury-plagued 2025 campaign.

Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryce Miller (shoulder) said the tentative plan right now is for him to make another minor-league rehab start on Wednesday with High-A Everett, according to Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. Miller is getting close to rejoining the Mariners' starting rotation to make his 2026 season debut, and fantasy managers looking for rotation upgrades should consider stashing him now. The 27-year-old former fourth-rounder out of Texas A&M in 2021 has looked good on his rehab assignment through three starts, and he threw 36 of his 53 pitches for strikes while tossing four scoreless innings his last time out on Thursday with Triple-A Tacoma. Right now, Miller is rostered in only 29% of Yahoo leagues, so he's widely available. The good news for Miller is that he hasn't dealt with any elbow injuries, which derailed his 2025 campaign. He's worth a look to see if he can rediscover the form he had in 2024 with the M's, when he went 12-8 with a 2.94 ERA and 0.98 WHIP with 171 K's and 45 walks in 180 1/3 innings across his 31 starts. Miller should be back in the big leagues by mid-May.

Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryce Miller (oblique) appears to be nearing a return to Seattle's starting rotation. The 27-year-old hurler looked good in his latest minor-league rehab start with High-A Everett on Friday night, going three shutout innings while giving up just one hit, walking one, and striking out six batters. Miller allowed just two baserunners and threw 35 of his 47 pitches for strikes in his second rehab appearance as he works his way back from an oblique injury that put him on the 15-day injured list before the start of the 2026 regular season. He still needs to build up his pitch count a bit more, but after another couple of rehab starts, he should be reinstated from the IL and rejoin the M's rotation in May. In his first rehab start with Triple-A Tacoma, Miller gave up three earned runs in 1 2/3 innings while walking one and striking out two. The former fourth-rounder in 2021 went 12-8 with a 2.94 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, and 171 strikeouts in 2024 in a breakout campaign before posting an ERA over 5.00 and being limited to 18 starts last year due to injuries. Miller is only rostered in 27% of Yahoo leagues, but that number should go up considerably once he's closer to making his 2026 debut.

Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryce Miller (oblique) will start a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday, according to Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. Miller will likely need the full 30-day allotment on the IL to build up his workload, according to president of baseball operations Justin Hollander. He's scheduled to throw two innings and/or 30 pitches on Saturday. If all goes well, the 27-year-old might be ready to come off the 15-day injured list to make his 2026 season debut near the end of May. Miller took a step forward in his second MLB season in 2024, when he went 12-8 with a 2.94 ERA and 0.98 WHIP with 171 strikeouts and 45 walks in 180 1/3 innings over 31 starts, but he was bitten by the injury bug last year and this spring. He only made 18 starts in 2025 and posted a career-worst 5.68 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, and 74:34 K:BB in 90 1/3 innings. Miller still has a way to go before he's contributing for fantasy managers, and he's rostered in 28% of Yahoo leagues currently.

Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryce Miller (oblique) is expected to rejoin the team in Seattle this weekend to have the training staff get a closer look at his progression and rehab from left-oblique inflammation, according to Daniel Kremer of MLB.com. Kramer is suggesting that his news could mean that Miller is about to start a minor-league rehab assignment. Miller's rehab stint is expected to consist of multiple starts to build his workload back to the range of five or six innings and/or 80 to 90 pitches. He threw a bullpen session on Sunday that went "very well," according to manager Dan Wilson. Miller has been dealing with an oblique issue since his first spring training start on Feb. 26, and he was put on the 15-day injured list to begin the year because he didn't have his workload built up enough. Emerson Hancock has taken advantage of the rotation spot with Miller sidelined and has a 2.04 ERA with 19 strikeouts in his three starts. Miller should have a rotation spot waiting for him when he's fully built up, though, and he deserves to be stashed in most fantasy leagues until then.

The Seattle Mariners placed right-hander Bryce Miller (oblique) on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday with a left-oblique strain, according to MLB.com's Daniel Kramer. Miller only made one appearance during spring training after injuring his oblique late last month. The good news, though, is that the 27-year-old hasn't had any setbacks after throwing a couple of bullpen sessions in camp. Miller still needs a couple of weeks to build his arm back up, but barring a setback, he figures to rejoin Seattle's starting rotation before the end of April. In the meantime, Emerson Hancock will take Miller's spot in the team's rotation. The former fourth-round pick of the Mariners in 2021 out of Texas A&M went 12-8 with a 2.94 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, and 171:45 K:BB in 31 starts in his second big-league season before dealing with injuries and posting a 5.68 ERA and 1.41 WHIP in just 18 starts in 2025 due to injuries. Miller is pitching with a bone spur in his right elbow as well, making him more of a risk in 2026, but he's still a worthwhile IL stash for his upside in mixed fantasy leagues.

Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryce Miller (oblique), who has been out since he cut his bullpen session short on March 11 due to a left-oblique injury, threw a full bullpen session in camp on Tuesday of around 30 pitches without any restrictions, according to MLB.com's Manny Randhawa. Miller has made only one Cactus League start this year, pitching 1 1/3 scoreless innings. The 27-year-old had a 2.94 ERA in 31 starts in a breakout 2024 season, but he made only 18 starts in 2025 due to injuries and finished with an ugly 5.68 ERA. His bullpen session was good news on Tuesday, but Miller isn't going to be ready for the start of the regular season in less than two weeks. Either Emerson Hancock or Cooper Criswell will take Miller's spot in the starting rotation to begin the 2026 campaign. Miller has bounce-back potential, but more injuries this spring have nearly pushed him outside of the top-100 starting-pitcher rankings at RotoBaller.

Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryce Miller (oblique) cut short his first full-effort bullpen session in camp on Wednesday due to "discomfort in the area," having been told not to push through it if he felt anything, according to Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. Miller is still cleared to play catch and will target another touch-and-feel bullpen session in the coming days. The 27-year-old has been dealing with left-oblique inflammation since late last month. The fact that he's still being bothered by it has put his availability for Opening Day in late March in question and dropped him on fantasy draft boards. Miller, a former fourth-rounder in 2021 out of Texas A&M, made two separate trips to the injured list last year due to right-elbow issues, and he was unable to recover. He had a career-worst 5.68 ERA and 1.41 WHIP with 74 punchouts and 34 walks in 90 1/3 innings over his 18 starts. Injury concerns have dropped Miller to No. 78 in RotoBaller's fantasy starting pitcher rankings going into the 2026 season.
