Cubs DFA Owen Miller After One-Game Stint
Chicago designated the veteran utility infielder for assignment just days after calling him up, opting for recently claimed Gabriel Arias instead.
The Cubs officially designated Owen Miller for assignment, ending his brief recall that lasted just one inning of play. Miller was originally called up as depth after Dansby Swanson landed on the IL, but Chicago moved on when Gabriel Arias became available via waiver claim from the Mets. Miller is out of options, meaning any claiming team must place him on their active roster. He is expected to be placed on waivers this weekend and could elect free agency if he clears.
