Is Owen Miller giving us a peek at the future? Cleveland Guardians takeaways Owen Miller has hit three homers in this shortened spring training. Is that a sign of emerging power or a desert mirage?

APRIL 1, 2022 • CLEVELAND.COM

Three hits in spring debut Miller went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-2 win over the White Sox.

Impact That's an encouraging first spring game for Miller, who enters 2022 as a likely utility man for the Guardians. He struggled through 202 plate appearances last season, posting a .204/.243/.309 slash line with four home runs, 18 RBI, 17 runs scored and two stolen bases. Miller showed promise with a .297/.374/.489 slash line in 48 games with Triple-A Columbus, but he'll likely have to outplay Yu Chang in spring training to see a semi-regular role this year.

Back to bench role Miller is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

Impact Miller had started in three of Cleveland's last four games, but he'll likely see his opportunities against right-handed pitching take a hit over the final week of the season now that Amed Rosario has returned from the COVID-19-related injured list. The lefty-hitting Andres Gimenez should still sit against left-handed pitching, which will open up work for Miller at the keystone.

Gets third start in four games Miller will start at second base and bat sixth in the first game of Monday's doubleheader with the Royals.

Impact Miller will pick up his third start in four games after he went 2-for-7 with a walk, a run and an RBI in Cleveland's series victory over the Yankees this past weekend. Both Miller and Yu Chang -- who will sit out the front end of the twin bill -- should benefit from increased opportunities in the infield while Amed Rosario (personal) is on the bereavement list.

Sitting after three straight starts Miller is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Impact Miller cracked the starting nine at either second base or third base each of the past three games, but he'll take a seat with the normal starters at those positions -- Andres Gimenez and Jose Ramirez, respectively -- both included in Wednesday's lineup. The 24-year-old rookie looks like he'll draw most of his starts against left-handed pitching the rest of the way, limiting his appeal in season-long leagues.

Launches three-run homer Miller went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Thursday's win over the Royals.

Impact Miller blasted a three-run bomb off Mike Minor in the fifth inning, and that was everything Cleveland would need to grab the lead and never looked back. The second baseman has homered in two of his last four contests and has gone 5-for-17 (.294) in that span.

Losing work with Bradley back Miller is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact Miller will sit for the second straight game and appears to have lost out on an everyday role after Bobby Bradley returned from the injured list Saturday. The right-handed-hitting Miller will likely serve as a short-side platoon option for Cleveland now that the team has most of its key regulars healthy.

Homers in win Miller went 2-for-5 with a solo home run during Thursday's win over the Rangers.

Impact Miller swatted a 350-footer against Dennis Santana in the fifth inning. The long ball was the third of the year for the 24-year-old, who has struggled at the plate this season to the tune of a .175/.231/.275 batting line across 39 games, though he does have three multi-hit appearances since Aug. 15.

Not starting Tuesday Miller is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

Impact Miller has gone 7-for-35 with a double, two RBI and five runs scored in his last 10 games. Yu Chang is playing first base and batting seventh Tuesday.

Two hits, one steal in win Miller went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Angels.

Impact The 24-year-old has started to find his way at the plate, going 6-for-20 (.300) with a double, two stolen bases, two RBI and five runs scored in his last five starts. Miller still has a lackluster .165/.220/.248 slash line across 118 plate appearances, but semi-regular playing time has helped him adjust to the major-league level.
