The Cubs outrighted Miller to Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday.
The fact that Miller cleared waivers after being removed from the Cubs' 40-man roster is somewhat surprising, given his impressive 2.32 ERA and 0.81 WHIP across 62 innings last season. Miller has the ability to elect free agency since he's been outrighted previously, but it's unclear what his plans are.

Cubs' Tyson Miller: Reinstated, DFA'd by Cubs
Rotowire
The Cubs reinstated Miller (hip) from the 60-day injured list Thursday and designated him for assignment, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Miller has been on the injured list all season due to a left hip impingement. He began a rehab assignment in the minors April 15 and has since posted a 2.77 ERA and 1.69 WHIP across 13 innings at Triple-A Iowa. Despite his strong performance in the minors, the Cubs will push the 29-year-old off their 40-man roster and expose him to waivers. Miller finished last season with a dominant 2.32 ERA and 0.81 WHIP across 62 innings between Chicago and Seattle, so he'll likely attract interest on the waiver wire.

Cubs' Tyson Miller: Goes on 15-day IL
Rotowire
The Cubs placed Miller on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a left hip impingement.

Cubs' Tyson Miller: May see less high-leverage work
Rotowire
With the Cubs trading for Ryan Brasier on Wednesday, per Jeff Passan of ESPN.com, and adding Caleb Thielbar, Eli Morgan and Ryan Pressly earlier in the offseason, Miller may see less high-leverage work in 2025.
Porter Hodge was closing games for the Cubs at the end of last season, but Miller was seeing important setup work ahead of him. The veteran Pressly now figures to get the first shot at the closer role, which would presumably push Hodge into eighth-inning work. Brasier, Morgan and Thielbar are also all experienced relievers with successful track records, giving manager Craig Counsell some options to choose from toward the end of games. Miller was effective for the Cubs in 2024, posting a 2.15 ERA across 50.1 innings of relief, so he figures to still have a key role even with the added competition, though he may get knocked down a few rungs in the bullpen.

Cubs' Tyson Miller: Rough outing again Tuesday
Rotowire
Miller allowed three runs on two hits and a walk across an inning of relief in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to the Pirates.
Chicago already trailed 2-0 when Miller came on in the seventh inning, so the righty didn't take the loss, though he didn't help his team's cause, either. Miller allowed a three-run bomb to Jared Triolo, who has just a .599 OPS this season, to cap off the rough outing. This is the second time in his last three appearances that Miller has allowed three runs, but he still has a strong 2.61 ERA overall, so it's probably not time to hit the panic button quite yet.

Cubs' Tyson Miller: Picks up win Friday
Rotowire
Miller (4-1) tossed a scoreless 10th inning to earn the win out of the bullpen Friday against the Blue Jays.
After Hector Neris blew the save by allowing three runs in the ninth inning, Miller picked Chicago up with a much better 10th, needing just five pitches to shut the door on Toronto. The righty has been solid this season, as he now has a 1.83 ERA and 0.77 WHIP across 44.1 innings for the Cubs and Mariners. If Neris gets pulled from the closer role due to his middling performance, Miller could be a candidate to see save opportunities, though Porter Hodge is probably ahead of him right now in the bullpen pecking order.

Mariners' Tyson Miller: Could be call-up candidate
Rotowire
Miller, who was impressive during Cactus League play and has a 2.25 ERA over his first four appearances with Triple-A Tacoma, is a likely candidate for promotion if Collin Snider (knee) is forced to miss time, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.
Snider took a 102 mph comebacker to his left knee in Sunday's loss to the Brewers, resulting a kneecap contusion. If Snider is deemed unavailable for at least the next several days, the Mariners would be likely to call up a reliever to remain on the taxi squad during the three-game series that begins in Toronto on Monday. Given Miller has been able to carry over his spring success into Tacoma for the time being, he could be the best candidate the team has for such a move.

Mariners' Tyson Miller: Draws praise from Servais
Rotowire
Miller, who has yet to allow an earned run through three Cactus League appearances, has drawn praise from manager Scott Servais for his mechanics and performance, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.
Miller was most recently on the mound Friday against the Cubs, firing two perfect innings during which he recorded a strikeout. The 28-year-old posted a 1-0 record, 4.70 ERA and 1.24 WHIP across 10 appearances for the Mets, Dodgers and Brewers in 2023, and he's working with a four-pitch arsenal that features a fastball and slider the Mariners particularly like. Miller could break camp as a multi-inning relief option if he continues impressing, and Servais notes the right-hander compares favorably in certainly ways to a recent effective Mariners late-inning option. "I really liked what I saw out of Miller." Servais said. "He has a lot of release point characteristics, pitch characteristics that Paul Sewald had as far as how he does it."

Miller signed a minor-league contract Friday with the Mariners, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.
Miller elected to become a free agent in October after being pushed off the Dodgers' 40-man roster. The 28-year-old right-hander has mostly struggled in his time at the major-league level, but he posted a decent 3.50 ERA and 50:15 K:BB over 43.2 innings this past season in Triple-A.

Miller will retain a spot on the 40-man roster heading into Opening Day, but he'll fall short on winning a spot in Milwaukee's season-opening bullpen. The 28-year-old covered 10.2 innings at the big-league level with the Rangers in 2022, giving up 13 earned runs on 16 hits and eight walks.
