The Rangers transferred Miller (hip) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The transaction officially ends Miller's season, as the 32-year-old was initially placed on the 10-day IL on Sept. 9 with the right hip strain. Miller held down a large-side platoon role for a decent chunk of the 2022 campaign, but he contributed a meager .212/.270/.320 slash line in 241 plate appearances. Given his advancing age, poor offensive production this season and lack of defensive value, Miller will likely have to settle for a minor-league deal when he becomes a free agent this winter.

Miller was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right hip strain Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Miller has been sidelined since Aug. 31 due to his hip injury, so his move to the IL is likely backdated a few days. The transaction helps to make room on the active roster for Josh Jung, whose contract was officially selected Friday. It's not yet clear when Miller will be able to return to game action.

Miller (hip), who is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Astros, is expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list ahead of Friday's series opener versus the Blue Jays, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller hasn't seen game action since Aug. 31 due to the hip injury, and it appears the Rangers are finally set to move him to the injured list. The transaction will make room on the major-league roster for the promotion of prospect Josh Jung, who should receive an extended look at third base down the stretch for Texas.

Miller is dealing with right hip discomfort and could require a trip to the injured list, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
This explains why Miller has not seen game action since Aug. 31. Even once he is ready to return, the Rangers will likely spread out the playing time in order to develop their younger players.

Miller is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Even with the Rangers facing a righty (German Marquez), Miller will head to the bench in favor of Bubba Thompson. Miller is hitting .226 with zero home runs in 31 at-bats this month.

Miller went 2-for-3 with a walk, three RBI and a run in Sunday's 7-0 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
The three-RBI performance exceeded Miller's output (two) from his previous 24 games combined, a drought that extends back nearly two months. Even though he's holding down a mediocre .584 OPS for the season, the lefty-hitting Miller appears to have at least resolidified himself as a strong-side platoon player at designated hitter. He'll start at DH in Monday's series finale and will bat eighth.

Miller is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
With lefty Zach Logue on the hill for Oakland, the lefty-hitting Miller will bow out of the starting nine. Mark Mathias, who came off the bench to deliver an RBI double in Wednesday's 7-2 loss, will be rewarded with the start at designated hitter in the series finale while Miller sits.
