TYSON MILLER NEWS

Earns fifth win Saturday Miller (5-1) worked around a hit to retire two batters out of the bullpen with no runs allowed to earn the win Saturday against the Reds.

Impact Chicago starter Kyle Hendricks was stellar through 7.1 innings as he kept Cincinnati off the board, but the Cubs turned to Miller to get through the top of the eighth. The righty delivered and then got in line for the win when the Cubs scored all three of their runs in the bottom of the eighth. Miller has been excellent for Chicago this season with a 2.32 ERA and 0.81 WHIP across 62 innings of relief, and his five wins are the most on the team among current members of the bullpen.

Grabs save Sunday Miller struck out two without allowing a baserunner over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Rockies.

Impact Keegan Thompson pitched a perfect eighth inning but let three straight batters reach to begin the ninth. Miller then entered the game, allowing one inherited runner to score but successfully escaping the danger to earn his first career save. He likely got the save chance because Porter Hodge took a blown save in Saturday's contest. Miller has pitched to a 2.37 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 69:28 K:BB while adding 12 holds through through 57 innings this season between the Cubs and the Mariners.

Rough outing again Tuesday Miller allowed three runs on two hits and a walk across an inning of relief in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to the Pirates.

Impact Chicago already trailed 2-0 when Miller came on in the seventh inning, so the righty didn't take the loss, though he didn't help his team's cause, either. Miller allowed a three-run bomb to Jared Triolo, who has just a .599 OPS this season, to cap off the rough outing. This is the second time in his last three appearances that Miller has allowed three runs, but he still has a strong 2.61 ERA overall, so it's probably not time to hit the panic button quite yet.

Struggles in Friday's outing Miller allowed three runs on two hits and a walk while retiring only a single batter in relief during Friday's 7-6 win over the Nationals.

Impact Miller was tasked with the bottom of the ninth inning in a non-save situation with the Cubs up 7-3. However, things quickly went awry for the righty, and Chicago eventually turned to Drew Smyly and then Keegan Thompson to record the last two outs of the frame, with the latter picking up the save. Miller saw his ERA climb from 1.64 to a still stellar 2.17 in the process. His previous success suggests he'll bounce back quickly from the rough outing, as this was the first time he allowed a run since late July, breaking a streak of 11 straight scoreless appearances.

Picks up win Friday Miller (4-1) tossed a scoreless 10th inning to earn the win out of the bullpen Friday against the Blue Jays.

Impact After Hector Neris blew the save by allowing three runs in the ninth inning, Miller picked Chicago up with a much better 10th, needing just five pitches to shut the door on Toronto. The righty has been solid this season, as he now has a 1.83 ERA and 0.77 WHIP across 44.1 innings for the Cubs and Mariners. If Neris gets pulled from the closer role due to his middling performance, Miller could be a candidate to see save opportunities, though Porter Hodge is probably ahead of him right now in the bullpen pecking order.

Earns win in relief Miller (3-1) tossed 1.2 scoreless innings of relief to earn the win Friday against the Cardinals. He struck out one.

Impact Chicago starter Javier Assad only lasted four innings in this one, which opened the door for Miller to pick up his third win in relief this year. The righty has emerged as a nice bullpen option for the Cubs, posting a 2.06 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 36 strikeouts across 39.1 innings. He's still behind both Hector Neris and Porter Hodge in the pecking order for saves, though with Mark Leiter traded to New York, Miller could at least see a bit higher leverage work moving forward.

Draws praise from Servais Miller, who has yet to allow an earned run through three Cactus League appearances, has drawn praise from manager Scott Servais for his mechanics and performance, Shannon Drayer of...

Impact Miller was most recently on the mound Friday against the Cubs, firing two perfect innings during which he recorded a strikeout. The 28-year-old posted a 1-0 record, 4.70 ERA and 1.24 WHIP across 10 appearances for the Mets, Dodgers and Brewers in 2023, and he's working with a four-pitch arsenal that features a fastball and slider the Mariners particularly like. Miller could break camp as a multi-inning relief option if he continues impressing, and Servais notes the right-hander compares favorably in certainly ways to a recent effective Mariners late-inning option. "I really liked what I saw out of Miller." Servais said. "He has a lot of release point characteristics, pitch characteristics that Paul Sewald had as far as how he does it."

Scooped up by Dodgers The Dodgers claimed Miller off waivers from the Mets on Sunday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Miller will begin his second stint in the Dodgers organization in this month along, as Los Angeles had previously lost him to New York in a waiver claim on Aug. 4. The Mets eventually booted Miller off their 40-man roster a few weeks later, but the right-hander will get another look in the Los Angeles bullpen while the Dodgers currently have eight relievers on the injured list. Since Miller has already been optioned to the minors five times this season between stops with the Brewers, Mets and Dodgers, he'll need to be added to the Dodgers' 26-man active roster. Los Angeles already cleared a spot for Miller on the 40-man roster by transferring Tony Gonsolin (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL.
