The Cubs outrighted Miller to Triple-A Iowa on Monday.
Miller was booted off the 40-man roster Friday, and after going unclaimed on waivers, he'll stay in the organization and report to Iowa. He's slashed .299/.352/.459 with seven home runs and 10 stolen bases over 96 games this season at Triple-A.

Cubs' Owen Miller: DFA'd by Cubs
Rotowire
The Cubs designated Miller for assignment Friday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
The move corresponds with the Cubs activating Daniel Palencia from the 60-day injured list. Miller's lone appearance in the majors came Monday against the White Sox, when he was brought in as a defensive substitute. He may stay within the Cubs' organization in Triple-A Iowa if he clears waivers.

Rotowire
The Cubs selected Miller's contract from Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Miller inked a minor-league deal with the Cubs in early February and has spent the entire season in Triple-A, where he has a strong slash line of .299/.352/.459 with 10 steals (in 16 attempts), seven home runs and 57 RBI across 403 plate appearances. He figures to serve in a utility role in the Cubs' infield in the absence of Dansby Swanson (oblique), the latter of whom was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday.

Rotowire
The Cubs signed Miller to a minor-league contract Tuesday.
Miller spent most of 2025 at Triple-A Albuquerque in the Rockies organization, slashing .277/.329/.429 with 11 homers and 13 steals.

Rockies' Owen Miller: Back with Rockies
Rotowire
Miller signed a minor-league contract with the Rockies on Wednesday.
After testing his value in the open market, Miller will return to the Rockies on a minor-league deal after being DFA'd by the club May 16. The 28-year-old owns a .694 OPS through 90 plate appearances at Triple-A Albuquerque, but the current state of the Rockies' offense leaves the door open for Miller to return to Colorado at some point.

Rockies' Owen Miller: Selected to MLB roster
Rotowire
The Rockies selected Miller's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.
Miller has slashed .244/.322/.372 with two homers, 13 RBI and 14 runs scored across 90 plate appearances this season in Triple-A, and he'll now be called upon to give the Rockies a bench piece capable of playing all over the infield and in the corner outfield spots. He'll replace Braxton Fulford on the big-league roster and take the 40-man spot of Thairo Estrada (wrist), who was shifted to the 60-day IL.

Rockies' Owen Miller: Shipped to Colorado
Rotowire
The Brewers traded Miller to the Rockies on Saturday in exchange for cash, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Miller spent the majority of 2024 with Triple-A Nashville, where he slashed .274/.353/.382 with 36 RBI across 385 plate appearances. He'll have a better chance of getting back to the majors as part of the Rockies organization, though he will first need to be added to the 40-man roster.

Brewers' Owen Miller: Outrighted to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Brewers sent Miller outright to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.
Miller was dropped from Milwaukee's 40-man roster Monday but will remain with the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 27-year-old has slashed .257/.340/.377 through 200 plate appearances with the Sounds, and although he hasn't performed as well at the plate in the majors, his defensive versatility still gives him some value as an organizational depth piece.

Brewers' Owen Miller: Exits 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Brewers designated Miller for assignment Monday.
The 27-year-old has spent most of his time this season in the minors, having slashed just .185/.185/.222 across 27 plate appearances during his time in the majors in 2024. Miller offers some defensive versatility and has flashed at times offensively, so it's possible he draws some interest via trade or waivers.

Brewers' Owen Miller: Sent back to Nashville
Rotowire
The Brewers optioned Miller to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.
Miller was recalled from Nashville earlier in May to provide depth as Rhys Hoskins (hamstring) headed to the injured list. Now that Hoskins is back, Miller will be pushed back to Triple-A. The 27-year-old infielder has slashed .185/.185/.222 across 27 big-league plate appearances this season, but he figures to be on the shortlist for a return to Milwaukee should the Brewers run into more depth issues.

Brewers' Owen Miller: Returns to majors
Rotowire
The Brewers recalled Miller from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.
With Rhys Hoskins (hamstring) headed for the injured list, Miller will come up from Nashville to give the Brewers additional bench depth. Miller will likely platoon with Jake Bauers at first base while Hoskins is out, though Miller's defensive versatility could allow him to make an occasional start elsewhere.

Brewers' Owen Miller: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Brewers optioned Miller to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.
Miller has appeared in seven games for the Brewers this season, tallying just one hit in 12 at-bats while striking out five times. He'll be forced back to the minors following the addition of Tyler Black to the big-league squad, though Miller could return to Milwaukee if the Brewers need to call on their organizational infield depth.

The Brewers recalled Miller from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.
With Christian Yelich (back) headed for the IL, Miller will come up from the minors to give the Brewers an additional bench piece that is capable of fielding numerous positions. The 27-year-old has gotten off to a strong start at Triple-A, slashing .353/.414/.451 through 58 plate appearances, though his stint in Milwaukee will likely come to an end once Yelich comes off the injured list.

Brewers' Owen Miller: Makes roster for wild-card round
Rotowire
Miller is on the roster for the Brewers' NL Wild Card Series matchup against Arizona.
This comes as a bit of a surprise given that Miller spent the final three weeks of the regular season with Triple-A Nashville, but the Brewers have decided to roll with 15 position players -- and only 11 pitchers -- in their best-of-three series versus the Diamondbacks. Miller, 26, batted .261/.303/.371 with five homers and 13 steals across 90 major-league games this season.

Brewers' Owen Miller: Heads back to Nashville
Rotowire
The Brewers optioned Miller to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.
Miller was moved off the 28-man active roster to clear room for third baseman/designated hitter Josh Donaldson, who was called up from Nashville after joining the Brewers on a minor-league deal less than two weeks earlier. The Brewers brought Miller back from Triple-A as one of their September call-ups, but he logged just four plate appearances in total during his latest stint with the big club.

Brewers' Owen Miller: Back in majors
Rotowire
The Brewers recalled Miller from Triple-A Nashville on Friday.
As MLB rosters expand to 28 players, Miller will give the Brewers another option in the infield as they push for the postseason. With Andruw Monasterio in a major slump at the plate, it's possible Miller ends up seeing regular action at third base, but he's also capable of playing first base, second base or in the outfield.

Brewers' Owen Miller: Banished to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Brewers optioned Miller to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.
Miller's demotion comes after he was on the bench for each of the past six games after losing hold of an everyday role following the Brewers' acquisition of Carlos Santana. The 26-year-old had been one of Milwaukee's better hitters over the first two months of the season, but he struggled mightily in July, slashing .178/.212/.247 on the month. He'll look to get back on track while playing regularly in Nashville and could end up settling into a short-side platoon role for the Brewers if he's brought back later in the season.

Brewers' Owen Miller: Sitting in fourth straight game
Rotowire
Miller is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Miller had been filling in as the Brewers' everyday first baseman in place of the injured Rowdy Tellez (finger), but he appears to have lost his grasp on that role after Milwaukee acquired Carlos Santana on Thursday. With Santana in the fold and recent Triple-A Nashville call-up Abraham Toro also picking up more work in the infield, Miller has become the odd man out of the lineup. Miller will hit the bench for the fourth game in a row and looks poised to serve as more of a utility man moving forward.
