It is a big blow to the Giants bullpen. Trevor McDonald was recalled as the corresponding move.

Miller (back) appeared in 36 relief outings for San Francisco last season, with his longest appearance not exceeding four outs. A back injury has prevented him from making his Cactus League debut.

Live batting practice is scheduled for Tuesday, representing the final checkpoint in his recovery before game action. His Cactus League debut could follow later this week. Miller's limited workload requirements from last season mean he will not need an extensive ramp-up period and is projected to be available for Opening Day.

Miller (back) had his 2025 season cut short by a left elbow injury. He compiled a 1.50 ERA and 1.47 WHIP with 22 strikeouts and 20 walks across 30 innings over 36 relief appearances before the injury ended his campaign.

Lower-back tightness has prevented him from making his Cactus League debut this spring. He threw a bullpen session on Wednesday and his return to game action could come as early as next week.

Erik Miller threw a bullpen session on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Miller has been dealing with lower back tightness in camp, which has kept him from making his Cactus League debut. However, throwing a bullpen session is a positive step, and he could avoid starting the season on the injured list. Last season, he posted a 1.50 ERA and 1.47 WHIP with 22 strikeouts in 30 innings and is expected to provide the San Francisco Giants with a left-handed option out of the bullpen this season.
