The Giants transferred Miller (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Thursday.

Giants' Erik Miller: Shut down from throwing
Rotowire
Miller (elbow) won't throw for two weeks before being re-evaluated, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Miller underwent an MRI this week, which showed additional left elbow inflammation.

At this point, Miller is unlikely to be activated from the 15-day injured list until mid-September at the earliest.
