Red Sox's Erik Miller: Tapped to start bullpen game
Miller will draw the start for the Red Sox in a bullpen game against the Athletics on Sunday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
The left-hander will make his first start since 2024, when the Giants used him as an opener 10 times as a rookie that season. Miller was shipped from the Giants to the Red Sox at the trade deadline and has fired 2.1 scoreless frames in the first two appearances for his new team. He'll likely cover the first inning or two before turning the game over to the bullpen, with Brayan Bello being a candidate to work in bulk relief behind Miller.

Red Sox's Erik Miller: Bound for Boston
The Red Sox acquired Miller and outfielder Carlos Gutierrez from the Giants on Monday in exchange for infielder Marcelo Mayer (forearm), Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Miller will make his way to Boston in the midst of one of the more dominant stretches of his career. Dating back to June 12, the 28-year-old has delivered 14 consecutive scoreless appearances. The left-hander appeared to have worked his way into the Giants' unsettled closer picture, but with the move to Boston, he'll operate as a setup man in front of Aroldis Chapman.

Giants' Erik Miller: Gaining trust as closer
Miller notched a save against the Padres on Thursday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter with no walks over one scoreless inning.
Miller got the call for the ninth frame with San Francisco up three runs. He yielded a two-out single but then slammed the door shut by inducing a Xander Bogaerts flyout. Miller picked up his second save in the past four days after going without a save in each of his prior 24 appearances. The left-hander is on a 13-outing scoreless streak and has posted an 18:5 K:BB across 12.2 innings during that span, which may have earned him the Giants' top closer role. His primary competition, Caleb Kilian, pitched a scoreless seventh inning Thursday and recorded a hold, but he's surrendered five earned runs over 8.1 frames in July.

Giants' Erik Miller: Tallies third save
Miller picked up the save in Monday's 3-0 win over the Brewers. He struck out two over a perfect inning.
Miller had no trouble finishing off the Brewers in the ninth inning, retiring the side in order to secure the victory. Monday marked the southpaw's third save of the season and first since April 26. On the year, he owns a 2.87 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 44:22 K:BB across 31.1 innings. While save opportunities may be infrequent on the lowly Giants, Miller and Caleb Kilian appear to be manager Tony Vitello's top two options in the ninth inning.

Giants' Erik Miller: Earns hold Sunday
Miller picked up a hold in Sunday's 8-5 win over the White Sox, striking out one in a scoreless inning.
Miller entered in the eighth inning and threw seven of his 11 pitches for strikes, earning his sixth hold on the campaign. The left-hander has recorded three straight scoreless outings since surrendering two runs in his return from a back strain May 16. He now owns a 3.77 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 21:12 K:BB across 14.1 innings in 16 games this season.

Giants' Erik Miller: Sloppy outing in return
Miller allowed two runs on two walks and struck out one over two-thirds of an inning in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Athletics.
Miller got the nod for a high-leverage spot in relief of starter Trevor McDonald in the seventh inning. He did fine there, but he struggled when staying on to begin the eighth. He walked two batters, and Caleb Kilian allowed both of them to score on a Brent Rooker homer. Miller was activated from the IL on Saturday, as he missed a minimal amount of time due to a back strain and now appears set to compete for late-inning work with Kilian in the near term. Over 13 appearances this season, Miller has a 4.50 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 18:8 K:BB across 12 innings.

Giants' Erik Miller: Activated from IL
The Giants reinstated Miller (back) from the injured list Saturday.
Miller will return to the Giants' bullpen after making just two rehab appearances in the minors, during which he gave up two hits and struck out three batters over two innings. The 28-year-old southpaw owns a 3.18 ERA and 1.24 WHIP through 11.1 innings in the big leagues this year and is likely to compete with Caleb Kilian for saves immediately after returning from the IL. Tristan Beck was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Giants' Erik Miller: Expected to return Saturday
Miller (back) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Miller has made two appearances with Triple-A Sacramento during his minor-league rehab assignment, combining to pitch two scoreless innings while striking out three batters. The southpaw will make his return to the major-league roster after the minimum 15 days on the injured list, and he should immediately be back in the mix for save chances with San Francisco.

Giants' Erik Miller: Begins rehab assignment
Miller (back) yielded one hit and struck out one over a scoreless frame in his first rehab appearance with Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.
MIller was cleared to pitch in a rehab game less than a week after landing on the 15-day injured list with a lower-back strain, putting him on pace to return Saturday when first eligible. Before getting injured, Miller was receiving some save chances as part of an unsettled Giants bullpen.

Giants' Erik Miller: Expected back when first eligible
Miller (back) will throw a bullpen session Thursday before beginning a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Miller was just placed on the 15-day injured list Monday with a lower-back strain, but the Giants expect him to be ready for activation when first eligible. The left-hander is one of four pitchers to record a save for the Giants this season and is poised to return to the late-inning mix before the end of next week if all goes well.

Giants' Erik Miller: Lands on IL with back strain
The Giants placed Miller on the 15-day injured list Monday due to a lower-back strain.
Miller may have tweaked his back during his last appearance against the Phillies on Thursday, when he tossed a scoreless inning in relief. The 28-year-old southpaw dealt with a back issue in spring training, so he may need a longer stint on the IL than the 15-day minimum. Right-hander Trevor McDonald was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move and will start Monday's game versus the Padres.

Giants' Erik Miller: Earns second save Sunday
Miller picked up the save Sunday against the Marlins. He allowed no hits or walks while striking out one over 1.1 perfect innings.
Miller was called upon with two outs in the eighth inning and delivered a clean outing, retiring all four batters he faced to secure the victory for the Giants. It marked the southpaw's second save of the season, trailing only Ryan Walker, who leads the team with three saves, as manager Tony Vitello has deployed a closer-by-committee approach. Miller has now strung together seven consecutive scoreless outings and owns a 3.48 ERA and 1.35 WHIP with a 16:6 K:BB across 10.1 innings in 2026.

Giants' Erik Miller: Earns first save
Miller picked up the save Thursday against the Reds, tossing a scoreless ninth inning with a walk and three strikeouts.
Miller has a blown save on his ledger already this season, but he took advantage of his second chance to lock down a game Thursday. The 28-year-old issued a one-out walk to Matt McLain, but he struck out the other three batters he faced to earn the save. With 10 strikeouts in six innings, the 28-year-old has the stuff to be an effective late-inning option but needs to find the consistency. Even after Thursday's outing, he holds a 6.00 ERA and 1.83 WHIP this year. Miller is in the mix for saves as Ryan Walker has been utilized as a bit of a late-inning fireman rather than a traditional closer early this year.

Giants' Erik Miller: Struggles Sunday
Miller picked up a blown save in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Mets, allowing two earned runs on three hits while striking out two over two-thirds of an inning.
After Keaton Winn gave up two hits and recorded one out in the eighth inning, Miller entered the game and allowed a go-ahead two-run double to give the Mets a 3-2 lead. He then surrendered an RBI single and another RBI double before striking out the final two batters of the inning. The left-hander has allowed two runs in back-to-back outings and now owns a 12.00 ERA, 2.67 WHIP and 4:2 K:BB across three innings in four outings this season.

Giants' Erik Miller: Allows two runs Friday
Miller allowed two earned runs on two hits and a walk while striking out one across two-thirds of an inning in Friday's 10-3 loss to the Mets.
Miller had allowed just one hit and one walk in his first 1.2 innings of the season, but he struggled Friday. The left-hander entered in the ninth inning and issued a walk to the first batter he faced before surrendering an RBI double. He then gave up a single and another run before exiting. Over three outings, Miller has recorded a 7.71 ERA, 2.14 WHIP and 2:2 K:BB across 2.1 innings.

Giants' Erik Miller: Scoreless outing in spring debut
Miller (back) allowed one hit while striking out three across one scoreless inning in Friday's 6-1 Cactus League loss to the Reds.
Miller made his spring debut after missing the first three weeks of Cactus League play due to lower-back tightness. The left-hander surrendered a single to the first batter he faced but went on to strike out the next three, throwing 12 of his 20 pitches for strikes. The 28-year-old's 2025 season was cut short due to a left elbow injury. He posted a 1.50 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 22:20 K:BB across 30 innings in 36 relief appearances last season.
