Miller isn't included in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Royals.
Miller has looked lost at the dish lately with a 5-for-45 (.111 average) over the Rays' past 14 games, so it appears manager Kevin Cash is giving the infielder a day off to hit the reset button. Even before this tailspin, Miller had been batting .247, and has yet to tap into the power that aided him to a breakout campaign in 2016. Miller is still a good bet to hold down an everyday role at second base for the foreseeable future, but if he fails to show much improvement, he could lose out on some reps to Tim Beckham once Matt Duffy (Achilles) returns from the disabled list, likely at some point later this month.
