Back on bench versus righty Miller will take a seat Thursday against the Astros and right-hander Justin Verlander.

Impact Miller had started the previous three games, going 2-for-12 with a home run and two RBI. Josh Naylor will get the starting nod at first base and should be the Guardians' preferred option against right-handed pitching moving forward, but Miller could see a slight uptick in opportunities versus righties while the team takes a committee approach to the designated-hitter spot following Franmil Reyes' recent demotion to Triple-A Columbus.

Gets third straight start Miller will start at first base and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact He'll pick up his third consecutive start after going 1-for-8 with a home run, two RBI and an additional run in the first two contests of the series. Miller has typically been occupying a short-side platoon role at first base in recent weeks with Josh Naylor -- who is sitting Wednesday with lefty Tommy Henry on the hill for Arizona -- but manager Terry Francona could find room for both hitters to play more frequently against right-handers in the wake of top designated hitter Franmil Reyes being optioned to Triple-A Columbus.

Homers in return Miller went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 6-5 extra-innings win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Miller missed one game with a right forearm bruise. He was able to play all 11 innings at first base Monday, and he supplied a homer in the second inning to give the Guardians their first two runs in the game. He's gone 17 games without a multi-hit effort, slashing .241/.311/.389 in that span. The infielder has a .247/.302/.375 slash line for the year while adding five homers, 42 RBI, 40 runs scored and a stolen base through 341 plate appearances.

Scratched with forearm bruise Miller (forearm) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

Impact Miller had been included in the Guardians' initial lineup after starting at first base for Josh Naylor (ankle) in the previous two contests, but the forearm contusion that forced Miller's early exit from Saturday's 6-4 loss will ultimately keep him on the bench for the series finale. Naylor will also continue to sit Sunday, paving the way for utility man Ernie Clement to pick up the start at first base.

Exits with right forearm contusion Miller was removed from Saturday's game against the Rays due to a right forearm contusion, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Miller was a late addition to Saturday's lineup after Josh Naylor (ankle) was scratched, but Miller was hit by a pitch in the top of the sixth inning and removed from the game in the top of the eighth. Prior to his departure, he went 1-for-2 with a run, an RBI and a strikeout. It's not yet clear whether Miller will be forced to miss additional time, but any potential absence will leave the Guardians depleted at first base.

Added to Saturday's lineup Miller was added to the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Impact Miller was initially scheduled to get a day off Saturday, but he'll start a second consecutive game since Josh Naylor (ankle) was scratched from the lineup. Miller has hit .222 with a double, two runs and an RBI over his last five games.

Retreats to bench versus righty Miller is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Miller had started the past three games and should have a regular spot in the lineup versus left-handed pitching moving forward, but his opportunities to play against right-handed pitchers like Detroit's Elvin Rodriguez could become more sporadic now that the lefty-hitting Josh Naylor is healthy again after a recent multi-game absence due to a back injury.

Takes seat in Naylor's return Miller is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Miller had started in five of the past six games, but he'll likely shift into more of a part-time role moving forward with Josh Naylor (back) making his return to the lineup. The righty-hitting Miller should play regularly at first base, second base or designated hitter when the Guardians oppose left-handed starting pitchers, however.
