Miley (forearm) visited Dr. Timothy Kremchek on Monday and is still trying to determine his next move, MLB.com reports.
Miley was pulled from a rehab assignment after experiencing soreness during a start last Friday. That the left-hander is pondering his next move suggests the doctor offered multiple go-forward scenarios and that the soreness may not be normal. Reds manager Terry Francona said the team will "support whatever he does." This implies that Miley will not be a fantasy factor over the final weeks of the regular season.

Reds' Wade Miley: Pulled off rehab assignment
Rotowire
Miley (forearm) was pulled off his rehab assignment Sunday after he experienced soreness during his start with Double-A Chattanooga on Friday, Pat Brennan of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
The veteran lefty threw 38 pitches over 1.2 innings during his first rehab outing, but renewed soreness will result in him being re-evaluated. Miley has been sidelined nearly two months due to the forearm strain, and this setback puts his availability for the rest of the season into question.

Reds' Wade Miley: Begins rehab assignment
Rotowire
Miley (forearm) allowed one run on one hit and two walks while striking out two over 1.2 innings in a rehab start at Double-A Chattanooga on Friday.
Miley began a rehab assignment, and the plan was for the lefty to throw two innings and 40 pitches -- he was removed one out short of that after 38 pitches. He will likely need another two rehab outings to get up to the five-inning/75-pitch range, which would seem to put him on a track to return in September. Miley's been on the injured list since the middle of June.

Reds' Wade Miley: Sent on rehab assignment
Rotowire
The Reds sent Miley to Double-A Chattanooga on Friday to begin a rehab assignment.
Miley has been rehabbing a flexor strain in his throwing arm since late June, and he's finally been cleared to pitch in games. It's unclear how many minor-league appearances he'll require before being activated, but an August return seems possible. Given the Reds' pitching depth, it's unclear where Miley will slot in once healthy, but Nick Martinez could be bumped back to the bullpen to make room in the rotation. Per Charlie Clifford of NBC 5 Cincinnati, Miley is slated to throw 40 pitches or two innings for Chattanooga on Friday.

Reds' Wade Miley: Facing hitters Friday
Rotowire
Reds manager Terry Francona said Wednesday that Miley (forearm) will face hitters Friday, Casey Drottar of MLB.com reports.
It will be the first time Miley has faced live hitters since he went down with a left flexor strain in late June. Miley will be eligible for activation from the 60-day injured list Aug. 16, and he could be ready to return then or shortly thereafter. That said, there's no guarantee the Reds will have a role available for Miley at that time.

Reds' Wade Miley: Shifts to 60-day IL
Rotowire
The Reds transferred Miley (forearm) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Thursday.
The transaction frees up space on the 40-man roster for infielder/outfielder Miguel Andujar, who was acquired from the Athletics on Thursday. According to MLB.com, Miley has been throwing long toss out to 120 feet and is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Friday, but he's likely still at least a few weeks away from being ready for game action. Since he was first placed on the shelf June 20 due to a left flexor strain, Miley's move to the 60-day IL shouldn't affect his timeline for a return.

Reds' Wade Miley: Extends throwing program

Miley (forearm) has increased his throwing distance off flat ground to 120 feet, MLB.com reports.

Reds' Wade Miley: Playing catch
Rotowire
Miley (forearm) is playing catch and could return at some point in 2025, MLB.com reports.
Miley was rehabbing an elbow injury early this season and had a couple of encouraging starts before landing on the 15-day injured list with a left flexor strain. Even if the veteran southpaw does make it back from the IL late in the year, there may not be a spot for him in the Cincinnati rotation with Chase Burns having been called up and Hunter Greene (groin) likely healthy by then.
The Reds placed Miley on the 15-day injured list Friday due to a left flexor strain.
The veteran left-hander last pitched Sunday in Detroit and gave up two runs across five innings, but he may have injured his arm during that outing or in his between-starts bullpen session. Miley will be eligible to be activated in early July, but could be out longer given the nature of the injury. Chase Petty will be called up from Triple-A Louisville to enter the rotation in place of Miley on Saturday against the Cardinals.
Miley did not factor into the decision Sunday against Detroit, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out five.
It was a strong outing overall for Miley, with both of the Tigers' runs coming on a pair of solo homers. After allowing four runs over two innings in a relief appearance to start his season, Miley has given up just five runs over 10 innings in his subsequent two starts. The veteran left-hander is currently scheduled to face the Cardinals at home next week in his next outing.

Reds' Wade Miley: Awarded another start
Rotowire
Miley is slated to start Sunday's game against the Tigers at Comerica Park, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Miley made a two-inning relief appearance in his 2025 debut with the Reds back on June 4, but he's since moved into the Cincinnati rotation while Hunter Greene recovers from a right groin strain. The veteran southpaw was credited with a win in his first start Monday in Cleveland, but he gave up three earned runs on five hits and four walks over five innings. He'll make for a risky streaming option on the road versus a Detroit offense that has produced a collective 119 wRC+ versus left-handed pitching this season.

Reds' Wade Miley: Nabs win in first start this season
Rotowire
Miley (1-0) collected the win Monday against the Guardians after giving up three runs on five hits and four walks in five innings. He struck out two.
Miley was inefficient in his first start of the year, tossing just 42 of his 78 pitches for strikes, and he also generated a mere three whiffs. The 38-year-old journeyman left-hander now has a 9.00 ERA, 2.14 WHIP and 2:4 K:BB covering seven innings, but he figures to remain in Cincinnati's rotation until Hunter Greene (groin) returns from the injured list. Even so, Miley should be avoided as a fantasy streamer in most situations in his next scheduled outing against the first-place Tigers, who own an .804 OPS versus southpaws since May 1.

Reds' Wade Miley: Re-signs with Reds on MLB deal
Rotowire
The Reds re-signed Miley to a one-year contract Wednesday.
Miley opted out of his minor-league contract over the weekend, but he's returned to replace the injured Hunter Greene (groin) on the Reds' active roster and should slide into Greene's vacated rotation spot. The veteran left-hander missed most of 2024 following a hybrid UCL repair surgery and recently posted a 5.93 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 7:4 K:BB in 13.2 innings at Triple-A Louisville. Per Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News, Miley will be available out of the bullpen Wednesday, but he's lined up to make his first start for the Reds on Monday in Cleveland.

Reds' Wade Miley: Exploring free agency
Rotowire
Miley (elbow) opted out of his minor-league contract with the Reds on Sunday and became a free agent, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Miley opened the season on Triple-A Louisville's injured list while completing his recovery from the hybrid UCL repair surgery he underwent last May. After making a trio of rehab starts with High-A Dayton, Miley returned from Louisville's IL on May 15 and logged a 5.93 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 7:4 K:BB in 13.2 innings at the Triple-A level. Since a promotion to the Reds wasn't imminent, the 38-year-old lefty has chosen to explore his options on the open market and will hope to land with an organization that can present him with a clearer path to the big leagues.

Reds' Wade Miley: Resumes rehab assignment
Rotowire
Miley (elbow) allowed three runs on three hits and struck out six over 2.2 innings in a rehab start at High-A Dayton on Saturday.
Miley resumed his rehab assignment after experiencing groin discomfort during an outing at the same affiliate April 27. The more substantive injury, however, is the Tommy John left elbow surgery. Miley's thrown just 5.2 innings while on rehab and is expected to make a few more appearances before he's ready to be activated.
Miley (elbow) is scheduled to resume his rehab assignment with High-A Dayton on Saturday, MLB.com reports.
Currently on Triple-A Louisville's 7-day injured list while he works his way back from the hybrid UCL surgery he underwent on his left elbow last May, Miley has already made two rehab starts with Dayton, but he didn't make it out of the first inning in his most recent outing April 27 due to a groin injury. The veteran southpaw appears to have responded well after resting up for the last week and a half and will slot back into the Dayton rotation this weekend. Miley will eventually report to Triple-A, and if he pitches well with the Reds' top affiliate, he could get a look in the big-league rotation at some point later this summer.

Rotowire
Reds manager Terry Francona said Monday that it was a groin injury that forced Miley (elbow) from his rehab start Sunday at High-A Dayton, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

Miley was facing his third batter of the game when he called for the trainer after throwing a pitch before eventually walking off the mound. The 38-year-old is coming back from a hybrid UCL repair on his left elbow, although it's unclear whether he's dealing with a setback with his elbow or something else. The Reds should offer an update on Miley's status soon.
