Out again Saturday Miller isn't in the Brewers' lineup Saturday against the Guardians.

Impact Miller's 1-for-25 slump at the plate since June 13 will cost him yet another start Saturday. Luis Urias will get the nod at second base while Brian Anderson moves to the hot corner and Raimel Tapia starts in right field.

Sitting Friday Miller isn't in the Brewers' lineup Friday against the Guardians.

Impact Miller is just 1-for-22 in his last eight games and will take a seat Friday amid his slump. Luis Urias will shift to second base in Miller's place, moving Brian Anderson to third base and Raimel Tapia in as Milwaukee's right fielder, batting seventh.

On bench amid slump Miller is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Luis Urias will play second base and bat seventh for Milwaukee, with Brian Anderson covering third base and hitting sixth. Miller has gone 0-for-18 with six strikeouts over his last six games and his season OPS has dipped from .876 to .735 since the beginning of June.

Day off Saturday Miller isn't starting Saturday against the Pirates.

Impact Miller is 0-for-11 with five strikeouts across his last three games, so he'll receive Saturday off to regroup. Luis Urias will take over at the keystone in Miller's place, moving Brian Anderson into third base which allows Raimel Tapia to make his first start as a Brewer in right field while batting sixth.

In leadoff spot Friday Miller is playing first base and batting leadoff Friday versus the Athletics.

Impact Miller's defensive versatility should serve the Brewers well in this one with the A's planning to deploy a parade of relievers, beginning with opener Sam Moll. Miller, 26, has posted an impressive .308/.343/.449 slash line with four home runs and eight stolen bases through 48 games this season while appearing at first base, second base, third base and both corner outfield spots.

JUNE 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Tuesday Miller is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Orioles.

Impact Luis Urias will play second base and Abraham Toro will cover third versus the O's and right-hander Kyle Gibson. Miller has gone 5-for-21 (.238) with no extra-base hits so far in June, though he still owns a strong .824 OPS on the year.

JUNE 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Swipes eighth bag Miller went 1-for-3 with an RBI, a run scored and a steal in Sunday's win over the Reds.

Impact Miller is now 8-for-9 in stolen base attempts, extending his career-high through just 44 games with the Brewers. He's continued to swing a hot bat as well, going 9-for-28 (.321) over his last seven games. The 26-year-old Miller has taken over as Milwaukee's starting second baseman, slashing .319/.358/.475 with four homers, 20 runs scored and 17 RBI through 151 plate appearances.

Guardians aren't hitting or scoring so let's roundup the usual suspects: Paul Hoynes Did the Guardians really miss on hitters such as Yandy Diaz and Owen Miller?

MAY 30, 2023 • CLEVELAND.COM

Batting second Tuesday Miller (forearm) is starting at second base and batting second Tuesday versus the Blue Jays.

Impact Miller was removed from Sunday's series finale against the Giants after taking a pitch off his right forearm, but X-rays came back negative for any fractures and he's apparently feeling better following the Brewers' team off day Monday. The 26-year-old holds an impressive .330/.371/.513 slash line with four home runs and six stolen bases in 38 games this season.

MAY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

X-rays negative Miller (forearm) underwent X-rays that came back negative Sunday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Miller exited Sunday's game against the Giants with a bruised right forearm, and further testing didn't reveal any structural damage. He's considered day-to-day for now, and manager Craig Counsell hopes Miller will be able to return to action for Tuesday's series opener in Toronto.

Leaves early with forearm bruise Miller was removed ahead of the sixth inning of Sunday's game against the Giants with a bruised right forearm, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. He went 2-for-2 with two runs and tw...

Impact The Brewers are describing Miller's removal as precautionary after he was able to take his base upon being hit by a pitch in the bottom of the fourth inning, then proceeded to play an inning in the field before exiting the contest. After submitting another two-hit effort prior to being lifted from the contest, Miller is now slashing an impressive .330/.371/.513 on the season. With the Brewers off Monday, Miller will get an extra day to recover before the team returns to action Tuesday in Toronto.

MAY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

In leadoff spot Thursday Miller is hitting leadoff Thursday night against the Giants.

Impact Miller will serve as the tablesetter for the Brewers as they face a string of Giants relievers, beginning with left-handed opener Scott Alexander. Miller, 26, has posted a tremendous .400 batting average and 1.103 OPS over his last 62 plate appearances dating back to May 3.

MAY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hits home run from cleanup spot Miller went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Astros.

Impact Miller moved into the cleanup spot Wednesday after going 3-for-4 from the sixth spot in Tuesday's win. After failing to reach in his first two at-bats, the versatile Miller launched a solo shot off Brandon Bielak in the seventh to extend Milwaukee's lead to 3-0. Miller has been on an absolute tear in May, racking up 24 hits (10 for extra bases), eight RBI and 10 runs scored across 16 appearances.

MAY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Bumps up to cleanup spot Miller will start at third base and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Impact After hitting sixth and going 3-for-4 with a home run, a stolen base, two RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 6-0 win, Miller will be rewarded with a move to the cleanup spot in the series finale. Making his eighth consecutive start Wednesday, Miller seems to have solidified himself as an everyday player at this point, and he looks as though he could gain some traction in the heart of the order while he's swinging a hot bat. Jesse Winker, meanwhile, will drop from second to sixth in the order Wednesday after having failed to hit a home run in any of his 115 plate appearances this season.

Tallies three hits and swipes bag Miller went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer, a stolen base and scored twice in Tuesday's win over the Astros.

Impact Miller singled his first two times up and wound up swiping his fifth bag of the year. His big hit of the night came in the eighth inning when he took Rafael Montero deep to left to put the Brewers up 6-0. Tuesday's performance added on to what's already been a very productive month at the plate for Miller. The 26-year-old is slashing .404/.407/.667 with three homers, seven RBI, nine runs, two steals and a 1:10 BB:K over 15 games in May. His hot bat has earned him more consistent playing time over the last few weeks and he's even made a handful of starts atop the lineup when facing lefties. Miller hit just .231/.283/.338 across two seasons in Cleveland, so it's not expected of him to maintain this type of productivity, but the Brewers will certainly keep playing him while he's in a groove.

MAY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back on bench Monday Miller is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Miller had started in each of the past four games, with two apiece coming against left-handed and right-handed pitchers. Though he's currently in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak and is now slashing .314/.338/.443 on the season, Miller looks as though he'll remain in a utility role for the time being, with the majority of his starts coming versus southpaws.

MAY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Strong showing in Friday's win Miller went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two total runs scored in Friday's 5-1 win over the Royals.

Impact Miller was a triple shy of the cycle, though he has just one three-bagger in his career. He's hit safely in his last five games, going 8-for-18 (.444) over that span. His homer was his first of the year, and he's added six RBI, three stolen bases and nine runs scored while slashing .323/.348/.435 through 62 plate appearances. He's starting to get a look at leadoff versus southpaws, but he's still in a fairly strict short-side platoon role at second base, with Brice Turang facing most righties.

Corbin Burnes' arm, Owen Miller's bat lead Brewers to 5-1 victory over Royals

Corbin Burnes pitched six shutout innings and Owen Miller went 3 of 4 with a homer and a double to help the Milwaukee Brewers defeat the Kansas City Royals 5-1

Another look at leadoff Miller is getting a second straight start out of the leadoff spot Friday versus the Royals.

Impact Both leadoff looks have come against left-handed pitching -- Wednesday against Clayton Kershaw and Friday against Josh Taylor. Miller has batted .370/.400/.407 through 30 plate appearances this year off southpaws. He's slashing .226/.250/.290 in 32 plate appearances versus righties.

MAY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Swipes third bag Miller went 1-for-4 with one run scored and one steal in Friday's 5-3 loss against the Red Sox.

Impact Miller has stolen a base in consecutive games to jump his season total up to three. Miller is a beneficiary of the new pick-off rules, as he had just four stolen bases in 190 career games prior to the 2023 season. The 26-year old came around to score after his steal thanks to a Christian Yelich single in the third inning. Miller is off to a good start at the plate too, hitting .286 to start the season.

Gets third straight start Miller will start in left field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

Impact As per usual, the righty-hitting Miller is included in the lineup versus a lefty (Marco Gonzales), but the 26-year-old looks like he'll begin to see more opportunities against right-handed pitching in the wake of Garrett Mitchell (shoulder) joining Tyrone Taylor (elbow) on the 10-day injured list. Miller had already started against right-handers in the first two games of the series in Seattle, recording a hit in both of those contests.

APRIL 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Snags steal in win Miller went 2-for-5 with a double and a stolen base in Friday's victory over the Padres.

Impact Miller started Friday for just the fourth time in 14 chances, but he capitalized on the opportunity, recording both his first multi-hit game and steal since joining the Brewers over the offseason. Miller primarily played first base last season with the Guardians, but with a couple veterans occupying that spot in Milwaukee, all four of his starts this year have come at second base.
