Wade Miley

Wade Miley is expected to miss six-to-eight weeks with his oblique injury, according to Brewers manager Craig Counsell.

Fantasy Impact

Miley had pitched extremely well in the Minor Leagues and in his brief time with the big club, but will now have to start from square one. He's not the worst DL stash in an NL-only league, but those in mixed leagues can move on.

The Brewers placed Wade Miley on the 10-day disabled list on Wednesday with a right oblique strain. The team activated Corey Knebel from the disabled list to take Miley's spot on the roster.

Poor Miley. He had pitched well in the Minor Leagues and in his first start this year, but left last night's game against the Indians in the first inning with the oblique strain. Assume he'll get another chance to start for the Brewers when he's healthy, but that's likely to be at least a month away.

Wade Miley left Tuesday's start with a right oblique strain, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal reports. Miley left in the first inning after just 19 pitches in what was his second start of the season.

Fantasy Impact

Tuesday was only Miley's second start this season after suffering a groin injury in spring training, so it is disappointing to see him injured again. It would not be surprising to see Miley land on the disabled list after this early exit, but monitor his status in the coming days for updates.

Making his first start in a Brewers uniform, Wade Miley (1-0) threw six innings of one-run ball to pick up a win in the 3-1 victory over the Reds. Miley gave up three hits and three walks while striking out four on 97 pitches.

Miley pitched well in his Brewers debut against the Reds. Miley had an ERA north of 4.46 in each of his last three seasons while pitching in the American League, however, during his first four seasons with the Diamondbacks, he had an ERA of 4.50 or lower in each season including a 3.33 mark with 16 wins in 2012. Keep an eye on Miley in deep mixed leagues as he could be used as a streaming option in the right matchup. His next start is not one of those matchups against the Indians next Wednesday.

Wade Miley will make his season and Brewers' debut on Wednesday in a start against the Reds. Brent Suter will be moved to the bullpen.

Fantasy Impact

The Brewers were required to call up Miley or else he would have been able to opt out of his minor league deal with the team. Miley posted a 5.61 ERA in 32 starts with the Orioles last season. Take a wait-and-see approach with Miley before considering him for fantasy rosters in deep leagues.
