Scouting Report: Bryce Johnson
San Diego Padres | CF
Overall
Summary
Bryce Miller, 27-year-old right-hander for the Seattle Mariners, was reinstated from the 15-day injured list after recovering from a left oblique strain sustained in spring training. Miller completed a four-start rehab assignment (4/18-5/6) posting a 1.98 ERA with 14 strikeouts and 7 walks over 13.2 innings. He made his 2026 season debut on May 13 against the Houston Astros. During rehab, Miller demonstrated encouraging velocity (96-98 mph on his fastball) and mixed all his secondary pitches effectively. The Mariners are employing a six-man rotation initially, with potential plans for a piggyback arrangement with Luis Castillo. Miller's return is critical as he aims to bounce back from a difficult 2025 season (5.68 ERA, 1.406 WHIP) marked by elbow issues.
