Shipped to Colorado The Brewers traded Miller to the Rockies on Saturday in exchange for cash, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact Miller spent the majority of 2024 with Triple-A Nashville, where he slashed .274/.353/.382 with 36 RBI across 385 plate appearances. He'll have a better chance of getting back to the majors as part of the Rockies organization, though he will first need to be added to the 40-man roster.

Outrighted to Triple-A The Brewers sent Miller outright to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.
Impact Miller was dropped from Milwaukee's 40-man roster Monday but will remain with the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 27-year-old has slashed .257/.340/.377 through 200 plate appearances with the Sounds, and although he hasn't performed as well at the plate in the majors, his defensive versatility still gives him some value as an organizational depth piece.

Makes roster for WC round Miller is on the roster for the Brewers' Wild Card Series matchup against Arizona.
Impact This comes as a bit of a surprise given that Miller spent the final three weeks of the regular season with Triple-A Nashville, but the Brewers have decided to roll with 15 position players -- and only 11 pitchers -- in this best-of-three series versus the Diamondbacks.

Heads back to Nashville The Brewers optioned Miller to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.
Impact Miller was moved off the 28-man active roster to clear room for third baseman/designated hitter Josh Donaldson, who was called up from Nashville after joining the Brewers on a minor-league deal less than two weeks earlier. The Brewers brought Miller back from Triple-A as one of their September call-ups, but he logged just four plate appearances in total during his latest stint with the big club.

Back in majors The Brewers recalled Miller from Triple-A Nashville on Friday.
Impact As MLB rosters expand to 28 players Friday, Miller will give the Brewers another option in the infield as they push for the postseason. With Andruw Monasterio in a major slump at the plate, it's possible Miller ends up splitting time with Monasterio at third base, though he's also capable of playing second base or in the outfield.

Banished to Triple-A The Brewers optioned Miller to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.
Impact Miller's demotion comes after he was on the bench for each of the past six games after losing hold of an everyday role following the Brewers' acquisition of Carlos Santana. The 26-year-old had been one of Milwaukee's better hitters over the first two months of the season, but he struggled mightily in July, slashing .178/.212/.247 on the month. He'll look to get back on track while playing regularly in Nashville and could end up settling into a short-side platoon role for the Brewers if he's brought back later in the season.

Sitting in fourth straight game Miller is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Impact Miller had been filling in as the Brewers' everyday first baseman in place of the injured Rowdy Tellez (finger), but he appears to have lost his grasp on that role after Milwaukee acquired Carlos Santana on Thursday. With Santana in the fold and recent Triple-A Nashville call-up Abraham Toro also picking more work in the infield, Miller has become the odd man out of the lineup. Miller will hit the bench for the fourth game in a row and looks poised to serve as more of a utility man moving forward.

Day off Friday Miller isn't in the Brewers' lineup Friday against Atlanta.
Impact Miller is slashing just .183/.218/.254 since the beginning of July, and he'll take a seat Friday as the Brewers look to get more production out of their lineup. Abraham Toro will start at first base for Milwaukee and bat sixth.

Sitting Wednesday Miller is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Reds.
Impact Miller will head to the bench after he went 1-for-8 with a strikeout over the first two games of the series. Abraham Toro was called up from Triple-A Nashville on Monday and he will take over at first base and bat sixth against Cincinnati.

Records 13th steal Miller went 1-for-3 with one RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Atlanta.
Impact Miller is batting just .194 (12-for-62) in July, and he's not helping his cause with a 4:16 BB:K. The versatile 26-year-old continues to fill a regular role at first base while Rowdy Tellez (forearm) is out of action. Miller's posted a .271/.311/.386 slash line with 13 steals, five home runs, 27 RBI and 29 runs scored across 82 contests this season, but he may slip back into a platoon if he can't pick up the pace soon.

Takes seat Friday Miller is not in the lineup Friday against Atlanta.
Impact Victor Caratini will play first base and Andruw Monasterio is at third as the Brewers face off against right-hander Charlie Morton. Miller has slashed just .254/.300/.389 in 200 plate appearances this year versus righties.

Recaptures regular role Miller will start at first base and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Reds.
Impact After fading into a short-side platoon role toward the end of June, Miller looks to have emerged as a fixture in the lineup against both right- and left-handed pitching since the Brewers placed Rowdy Tellez (forearm) on the injured list Wednesday. Miller will draw an eighth consecutive start Sunday, despite posting a .491 OPS and striking out 10 times in the previous seven contests.

Supplies clutch hit in extras Miller went 2-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Guardians.
Impact Miller showed out in a big way against his former team, notching an RBI-double in the third and then another double to score Joey Wiemer in the 10th that wound up being the difference in the game. It was an encouraging effort from the 26-year-old, after he came into the day slashing just .188/.233/.203 in 73 plate appearances during June. His playing time is starting to slip as a result, though he's still seemingly being slotted towards the top of the order when in the lineup after batting second Sunday.
