Scouting Report: Bryce Miller
Seattle Mariners | SP
Overall
Summary
Bryce Miller, 27-year-old RHP, was reinstated from the 15-day IL after recovering from a left oblique strain suffered in spring training. He made his 2026 season debut on May 13 against the Houston Astros. During his rehab assignment, Miller posted a 1.98 ERA with 14 strikeouts over 13.2 innings across four rehab starts. His fastball velocity has returned to elite levels (96.7-98.8 mph in Triple-A), indicating full recovery from the injury. The Mariners are implementing a six-man rotation initially, with potential piggyback usage alongside Luis Castillo. Miller's return addresses rotation depth concerns after the staff struggled in recent games (4.42 ERA over games 21-40 vs. 3.35 ERA in games 1-20).
