Bryce Miller Shifted to Bullpen Amid August Struggles
Seattle manager Dan Wilson calls it a short-term move, but Miller's return to the rotation this season is uncertain.
The Mariners are moving starter Bryce Miller to the bullpen after he posted a 9.00 ERA in four August starts, including a six-run, 4.1-inning outing against the Cubs. Manager Dan Wilson described the move as short-term, though it is unclear if Miller will rejoin the rotation this season. GM Justin Hollander expressed confidence in Miller's ability to bounce back, noting the team wants him focused on one or two innings at a time. Miller carries a 4.12 ERA over 94 innings on the year after missing the first six weeks with an oblique injury.
