Bryce Miller

Bryce Miller's next step in his recovery will be to face live hitters.

Fantasy Impact

Miller remained in Arizona as he opens the season on the injured list. He'll then pitch in live games once he is ready to take the next step. Emerson Hancock will take his spot in the starting rotation to open the season.

The Mariners placed Bryce Miller on the 15-day injured list with a left oblique strain.

Fantasy Impact

Miller was able to resume throwing bullpens last week. He'll be down for at least the first few weeks of the season. Emerson Hancock could open the season in the Mariners starting rotation.

Bryce Miller is scheduled to get back on the mound on Tuesday to throw a bullpen with full intent and no limitations.

Fantasy Impact

Miller had his last bullpen session cut short. He is still expected to open the season on the injured list. If all goes well on Tuesday, he could miss minimal time during the season.

Bryce Miller “cut short his first full-effort bullpen due to discomfort in the area.”

Fantasy Impact

Miller is still cleared to play catch, but he'll likely take some more time to return to the mound. He will almost certainly miss the start of the season at this point. Emerson Hancock could open the season in the starting rotation for Seattle.

Bryce Miller will throw a “standard bullpen” on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Miller will take the mound and throw his full pitch mix. If all goes well, he could be ready to return to spring training games soon.
