Starts for resting Hoskins Miller will start at first base and bat seventh Wednesday against the Marlins.
Impact Miller will fill in for a resting Rhys Hoskins on Wednesday, but the former looks like he'll be in store for only a handful of starts per week now that the Phillies are close to full strength in the infield and outfield following Jean Segura's return from the injured list earlier this week. Didi Gregorius (elbow) recently resumed a rehab assignment and could also be activated in the coming days, with his eventual return closing off another potential avenue for Miller to pick up at-bats.

Gets second straight start Miller will start at second base and bat fifth Wednesday against the Nationals.
Impact For the second game in a row, Miller will draw the start at second base against a right-handed starting pitcher (Erick Fedde). Miller's usage would seem to signal that he's the Phillies' preferred option at the keystone versus right-handed pitching, leaving the righty-hitting Luke Williams in line to handle a short-side platoon role at the position.

Sitting against lefty Miller is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Phillies are facing a left-handed starting pitcher for the second game in a row, so the lefty-hitting Miller will once again take a seat. The righty-hitting Luke Williams will pick up another start at second base, but it's unclear whether he'll be the full-time starter at the position while Jean Segura (groin) is on the shelf, or if he'll fill the short side of a platoon with Miller.

Not starting Saturday Miller isn't starting Saturday's game against the Giants.
Impact Miller had started each of the last two games with Jean Segura (groin) sidelined, but he went 0-for-7 with a walk and six strikeouts. Luke Williams will start at second base and bat seventh.

Homers against Nationals Miller went 1-for-2 with a home run, three RBI, two runs and one walk in Sunday's 12-6 win over the Nationals.
Impact Miller had gone 0-for-12 with a walk and eight strikeouts across his last four games, but he bounced back with a dominant performance in Sunday's win. He's now slashing .276/.344/.474 with six home runs, 20 runs and 18 RBI this year.

Serving as main Harper replacement Miller will start in right field and bat fifth Tuesday against the Reds, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Impact Miller appears to have solidified a spot in Philadelphia's everyday lineup; he'll be making his 10th consecutive start Tuesday, including his third in a row in right field. The veteran owns a strong .834 OPS over 116 plate appearances on the season, and he should be a decent source of power production for fantasy managers while Bryce Harper (forearm) is on the injured list.

Records two hits Sunday Miller went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Sunday's loss to the Rays.
Impact Miller was trapped in a tough 1-for-13 stretch before this game, but he managed to be one of the few contributors for the Phillies in this loss. The 31-year-old has four multi-hit games over his last eight contests, however, so he's still seeing the ball well even if he has lacked consistency of late.

Strong performance Sunday Miller went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, two runs and two strikeouts in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Red Sox.
Impact Miller broke Sunday's game open with his three-run blast in the bottom of the first inning that proved to be the difference in the contest. The 31-year-old has now started three of the last four games and is hitting .317 with four homers, 15 runs and 12 RBI this season.

Bench duty awaits Miller is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Impact Miller headed into the weekend having made four consecutive starts for the Phillies, but he'll be on the bench for the second time in three days as the team closes out the series in Atlanta. The recent returns of Jean Segura from the 10-day injured list and Bryce Harper from a minor wrist injury appear to have pushed Miller back into a reserve role.

Swats three-run homer Miller went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run Tuesday against the Brewers.
Impact Miller made his lone hit of the contest count when he smacked a home run off southpaw Eric Lauer to right field. With the Phillies missing Jean Segura (quadriceps), Miller has gotten more regular playing time and now has three long balls on the season. However, Segura just began a rehab assignment, and his return will likely cut significantly into Miller's presence in the lineup moving forward.

Impact Miller led off for the third consecutive game and delivered a game-tying two-run homer in the fifth frame. It was his second home run of the campaign. After a brief absence due to a neck injury, Miller has collected one hit in four consecutive games, though Wednesday's long ball was his first extra-base hit in that span. For the season, Miller is hitting .344/.382/.531 with five runs scored and five RBI across 34 plate appearances.

Back in lineup Miller (neck) will lead off and play left field Monday against the Cardinals.
Impact Miller finds himself starting for the first time since getting scratched Friday with neck stiffness, though he did appear off the bench in Sunday's contest. He'll start in place of Andrew McCutchen, who could begin to sit more frequently if he can't turn his .154/.300/.231 slash line around.

Not starting again Sunday Miller (neck) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Impact Since delivering a four-hit game Wednesday against the Giants, Miller has yet to rejoin the lineup while battling neck soreness. Nick Maton will pick up another start at second base Sunday, though Miller will likely be available off the bench even as he continues to manage the injury.

Late scratch Friday Miller has been scratched from the lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies for an unspecified reason, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact It's not yet clear whether Miller's removal from the lineup is due to an injury, but Nick Maton will start at second base and bat seventh Friday. Miller had started in each of the last two contests and went 5-for-9 with a home run, three runs, three RBI and two strikeouts during that time.
