Bryce Bonnin

Bryce Miller, 27-year-old right-hander for the Seattle Mariners, sustained a left oblique strain during spring training and began the 2026 season on the 15-day injured list. He has been progressing through a minor league rehab assignment since April 18, making four starts for High-A Everett and Triple-A Tacoma. Miller has shown positive progress with three consecutive scoreless outings, including a five-inning shutout performance on May 7 with 3 strikeouts, 2 hits, and 3 walks. The Mariners plan to utilize the full 30 days allowed for his rehab stint, potentially allowing him two more starts before returning to the major league roster. His return is expected during an upcoming road trip against the White Sox or Astros. Miller struggled significantly in 2025 with a 5.68 ERA and 1.406 WHIP over 90.1 innings, but aims to return to his 2024 form (2.94 ERA, 0.976 WHIP). The team faces a rotation decision with Emerson Hancock performing well in Miller's absence.
