Wade Miley Fantasy Stats

Cincinnati Reds left-hander Wade Miley (forearm) is weighing his next move after visiting Dr. Timothy Kremchek on Monday. Miley, who was pulled off his rehab assignment after feeling soreness in his first Double-A outing last Friday, has been on the 15-day injured list since June 17 because of a flexor strain. It's unclear whether Miley's recent setback will lead to surgery, but manager Terry Francona said the Reds will "support whatever he does." The 38-year-old has made just three appearances (two starts) with Cincinnati this season and logged a 6.75 ERA with a 1.75 WHIP and 7:6 K:BB in 12 innings. It appears unlikely that he'll return in 2025.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Wade Miley (forearm) was pulled from his rehab assignment after experiencing soreness during his first outing with Double-A Chattanooga on Friday, reports Pat Brennan of The Cincinnati Enquirer. The soreness was presumably in his throwing forearm, which is what has kept him sidelined since June 15. There are no updates on the severity of the soreness or what the next plan of action will be, but any significant setback would likely keep the 38-year-old out for the rest of the season. The veteran only appeared in three games in 2025, in which he allowed nine runs in 12 innings of work.

The Cincinnati Reds announced on Friday that they sent left-hander Wade Miley (elbow) on a minor-league rehab assignment to Double-A Chattanooga. Miley has made only three appearances (two starts) for the Reds in 2025 and has been out since late June due to a flexor tendon strain in his left arm. Because of his long layoff, the 38-year-old southpaw will likely require at least a few rehab starts in the minors, but barring a setback, he could be an option for the Reds' big-league starting rotation later this month. Rookie right-hander Chase Burns (elbow) just went on the 15-day injured list with a flexor strain of his own, but it remains to be seen if Cincy will have a starting spot for Miley available when he's ready. Fantasy-wise, Miley won't be an intriguing waiver-wire option in any league when he returns with a career 7.0 K/9.

Cincinnati Reds left-hander Wade Miley (forearm) threw a bullpen session Tuesday and will face live hitters Friday, manager Terry Francona announced. Miley hit the 15-day injured list with a flexor strain on June 20. The Reds have shifted Miley to the 60-day IL since then, meaning he'll be eligible to return on Aug. 19. The 38-year-old journeyman made three appearances (two starts) in June and struggled to a 6.75 ERA with 15 hits allowed, seven strikeouts, and six walks in 12 innings. Miley will continue to stay off the fantasy radar if he makes it back this season.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Wade Miley (forearm) has been transferred to the 60-day injured list on Thursday. This is a procedural move in order to free up a spot on the 40-man roster for Miguel Andujar. Miley has been sidelined since the middle of June due to a left flexor strain. The southpaw has been progressing through a throwing program, but isn't nearing a return. The shift to the 60-day injured list shouldn't impact too much considering Miley is still weeks away from returning.

Cincinnati Reds left-handed pitcher Wade Miley (elbow) exited his rehab outing on Sunday with an undisclosed injury. The southpaw was only able to tally two outs before exiting the contest. Before leaving, Miley allowed one hit and a run and did not tally a strikeout. In his first rehab outing with High-A Dayton, Miley struggled as he allowed nine hits and six runs across two 1/3 innings of work. The veteran pitcher is slowly working his way back from a UCL surgery on his left elbow. Last summer, Miley logged just seven innings of work to the tune of a 6.43 ERA with a 1.43 WHIP. During the 2023 campaign, the southpaw held a strong 3.14 ERA with a 1.14 WHIP across 120 1/3 innings of work. When eventually cleared to return, Miley should be in the mix for a depth role in the Cincinnati rotation.

Cincinnati Reds left-hander Wade Miley (elbow) is starting his minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday night with High-A Dayton, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer's Charlie Goldsmith. Miley continues his recovery from an internal-brace procedure/Tommy John surgery last May and still has a long ways to go before he's considered an option for the Reds' major-league starting rotation. Even if the 38-year-old veteran soft-tosser makes it back to the big leagues in the first half of the 2025 season, he's not going to present fantasy managers with much upside, if any at all, in the strikeout department. Those in mixed leagues should have more attractive options to choose from. Miley only made two starts for the Milwaukee Brewers before being shut down in 2024 and has a career 7.0 K/9 in 14 MLB seasons.

Cincinnati Reds left-hander Wade Miley (elbow) is scheduled to throw three innings in an extended spring training game on Tuesday in Arizona and then could start a minor-league rehab assignment, according to manager Terry Francona. It's unclear when Miley might be an option to make starts for the Reds in 2025, but the veteran 38-year-old southpaw is clearly making progress after having a hybrid internal-brace/Tommy John procedure on his left UCL last May. He will need a lengthy rehab assignment and probably won't be an option for Cincy's starting rotation until late May or early June, and he doesn't have much fantasy appeal at all these days. Miley made only two starts a season ago with the Milwaukee Brewers before being shut down with his elbow problems, and he allowed five earned runs on six hits while walking two and striking out two in seven innings.

Veteran free-agent left-handed starter Wade Miley (elbow) signed a minor-league deal with the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday that includes an invite to major-league spring training, according to USA TODAY's Bob Nightengale. Miley will make $2.5 million on a pro-rated major-league deal with $1,000 per inning and maxing out at a total of $4 million with a June 1 opt-out clause. The 38-year-old southpaw is recovering from Tommy John surgery on his left elbow but is expected to return in mid-May in 2025. In his last season with the Milwaukee Brewers in 2023, he went 9-4 with a 3.14 ERA (4.69 FIP), 1.14 WHIP, 79 strikeouts and 38 walks in 120 1/3 frames over 23 starts. Not only is Miley recovering a major elbow operation, but he's never been much of a strikeout artist and won't be guaranteed a starting rotation spot once he's healthy. Fantasy managers in most leagues will want to avoid him.

According to Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, free agent starting pitcher Wade Miley (elbow) is hoping to pitch in Spring Training and return to the regular season sometime in May. Miley underwent a UCL operation after making just two starts last season. Earlier this offseason, the Milwaukee Brewers declined his club option but the southpaw is hoping to return with the club before Spring Training. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status during his recovery process as he may find a potential suitor for the 2025 campaign if he is able to pitch well during Spring Training. In 2023, Miley logged 120 1/3 innings to the tune of a 3.14 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP. If he does agree to a major league deal, he should only be reserved for NL/AL-only formats, given his very low strikeout upside.
