Impact Miller tossed a perfect ninth inning to push the game to extras, but allowed the ghost runner to score on a Nico Hoerner single in the 10th. Arizona took the lead back in the 11th inning, paving the way for Miller to earn his second win. He's now tossed 10 innings without allowing an earned run this season but has not recorded a save.

Remains unscored upon Miller allowed a walk and struck out two over a scoreless inning, earning a hold in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Marlins.

Impact Miller opened the bottom of the seventh and recorded his third hold. The walk was just the third baserunner he's allowed all season. The 34-year-old right-hander, in his first season with the Diamondbacks, has yet to allow a run or hit over eight innings (seven outings). Along with Jalen Beeks, another newcomer that preceded Miller with a scoreless sixth inning, the duo has combined to post a 0.48 ERA over 18.2 innings

Logs first hold Miller retired all three batters faced in a scoreless seventh inning to earn a hold in Friday's 6-4 win over the Nationals.

Impact Miller logged his first hold of the season. He entered after the Diamondbacks took a two-run lead in the top of the seventh as part of the late-game crew, including A.J. Puk and Justin Martinez for the save. This was Miller's first high-leverage outing and might not be the last given how well he's performed. Over five innings, the right-hander has yet to allow a run or hit while striking out five with one walk.

Wins roster spot The Diamondbacks selected Miller's contract from Triple-A Reno on Wednesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Miller pitched his way into Arizona's bullpen by allowing just two runs and striking out 11 batters in seven innings during Cactus League play. He finished the 2024 campaign with a 4.53 ERA over 55.2 frames, however, so Arizona will likely limit the 34-year-old to low-leverage situations to begin the season. Rene Pinto was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Signs with Arizona Miller agreed to a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Sunday that includes an invite to big-league camp, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Miller signed with the Tigers for 2024 and had a 4.53 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 49:13 K:BB across 55.2 innings before being released late in the regular season. A 3.75 xERA indicates the 34-year-old may have deserved some better results, and he should have a decent chance of earning a spot in Arizona's Opening Day bullpen.

Released by Tigers The Tigers placed Miller on unconditional release waivers Sunday.

Impact Miller was already cast off the 40-man roster and was set to be a free agent this offseason, so he's just becoming a free agent a little earlier than he otherwise would. The 33-year-old righty had a 4.53 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 49 strikeouts in 55.2 innings this year.

Booted from 40-man roster The Tigers designated Miller for assignment Tuesday.

Impact Miller has been used as a high-leverage reliever at times this season, but of late his stuff and swing-and-miss has fallen off, as he has just a 1:4 K:BB in 4.2 innings this month. There's a chance Miller will get scooped up on waivers, but that possibility lessens given that there's so little time left in the season.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Set to lose roster spot The Tigers are expected to designate Miller for assignment prior to Tuesday's game against the Rays, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Detroit plans to call up top pitching prospect Jackson Jobe in a corresponding move, with the young right-hander set to take Miller's spot on the 40-man roster and in the big-league bullpen. Miller had made 51 appearances for Detroit this season, logging a 4.53 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 49:13 K:BB across 55.2 innings while gathering six wins, five holds and two saves.

Charged with loss Friday Miller (6-8) allowed two runs (one earned) on one hit across 1.1 innings of relief to take the loss Friday against the Red Sox. He struck out two.

Impact Miller worked through the top of the ninth inning in order, with the last two batters retired via strikeout. The veteran righty came back out for the 10th with the game tied 4-4 but allowed a Ceddanne Rafaela home run with one out to make it 6-4, after which he got the hook. Despite the loss, Miller has been pitching well lately, as this performance snapped a streak of nine straight scoreless outings. His ERA sits at 4.76 after being north of 6.00 at the end of June.

Earns the win Thursday Miller (6-7) tossed 1.1 scoreless innings of relief to earn the win in Thursday's 2-1 victory over the Mariners. He struck out one.

Impact Miller got Jorge Polanco to fly out to end the top of the seventh inning, then pitched a clean eighth inning to ultimately pick up the win out of the bullpen. The veteran righty has had a few meltdowns this season, which has led to an ugly 5.36 ERA overall, but the Tigers still seem to trust him in high-leverage spots. That role gives Miller some value in deeper fantasy formats, though his volatility has made him hard to trust this year.

Melts down in loss Miller (5-7) allowed three runs on three hits and a walk while retiring only two batters to take the loss Sunday against the Royals.

Impact Miller got the top of the ninth inning in a game the Tigers led 2-0, with regular closer Jason Foley having pitched two innings Saturday. For the second straight time, Miller allowed at least three runs in an outing, pushing his season ERA up to an ugly 5.85. The veteran righty has also now blown six save chances this year. Miller had a solid July, posting a 0.68 ERA across 13.1 innings and recording two saves, but things have come undone so far in August.

Notches second save Miller worked around a walk to pitch a scoreless ninth inning and earn the save in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Guardians. He struck out one.

Impact Regular closer Jason Foley was used in the seventh inning of this bullpen game for Detroit, which set Miller up for his second save of the season. The veteran righty endured a rough patch in June but he's been much better this month, posting a 0.84 ERA across 10.2 innings. Foley is still the favorite for saves in Detroit, though Miller gives the Tigers another option when needed.

Shuts door for first 2024 save Miller tossed a scoreless ninth inning with a strikeout to earn the save in Monday's 1-0 win over the Guardians.

Impact Miller got the call with no margin for error and he efficiently shut Cleveland down on 13 pitches to earn his first save of the season and just the second of his 12-year MLB career. The team showed a lot of faith in the veteran, who entered the contest with a 5.97 ERA, but he was much better last season with a 1.71 ERA for the Dodgers. If Miller can get anywhere close to that form down the stretch, he'll be a bullpen weapon for the Tigers and a potentially valuable fantasy asset if he sees more save opportunities.

Earns win Saturday Miller (5-6) tossed two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win in Saturday's 5-3 victory over the Reds. He allowed one hit and struck out three.

Impact It was a badly needed positive effort for Miller, who came into the contest having allowed nine earned runs across 2.1 innings in his previous three appearances. The veteran righty lowered his ERA under 6.00 in the process. Miller is in a high-leverage role for the Tigers, but he'll need more good performances to earn any trust in fantasy leagues.

Takes tough loss Friday Miller (4-6) allowed three runs on three hits across an inning of work and took the loss Friday against the Angels. He struck out two.

Impact Miller allowed two hits but had a chance to escape the eighth inning with no damage before he allowed a two-out, three-run home run to Logan O'Hoppe. The veteran righty had been pitching well this month with a 2.25 ERA across seven appearances. However, Miller now has a subpar 4.62 ERA overall, which he'll work on lowering in the coming weeks.
