Miller could potentially fill either a primary utility role or serve as the designated hitter frequently during the truncated 2020 regular season, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Catcher is the only non-pitching position the versatile veteran hasn't filled during his seven major-league seasons, so Miller is a clear-cut fit as a roving option for anyone who may need a day off. However, Rogers also points out the 30-year-old could take over designated-hitter duties if, for example, Matt Carpenter is given first crack at the job and doesn't live up to expectations. Miller certainly has experience in that capacity as well, having logged 34 starts at DH between the 2014 and 2018 seasons while playing for the Mariners and Rays.
