Scouting Report: Bryce Windham
Chicago Cubs | C
Overall
Summary
Bryce Miller, a right-handed pitcher for the Seattle Mariners, is being activated from the 15-day injured list after suffering a left oblique strain during spring training. Miller made his season debut on Wednesday against the Astros following successful rehab assignments at High-A Everett and Triple-A Tacoma. He threw 61 pitches over 5.0 shutout innings in his final rehab start, declaring himself "ready to go." The Mariners are considering multiple deployment options including a six-man rotation, bullpen role, or piggyback situation with Luis Castillo. Miller's return comes at a critical time as the Mariners' rotation has struggled recently (4.42 ERA over games 21-40) after starting strong (3.35 ERA over games 1-20). Miller has dealt with recurring injuries in back-to-back seasons, including elbow inflammation in 2025, but remained healthy to close that season and contributed important innings in the postseason.
Strengths
- Successfully completed rehab assignments with strong performance (5.0 shutout innings, 61 pitches)
- Declared himself ready to return to MLB action
