Miller is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Though he'll be on the bench with southpaw JP Sears on the bump for Oakland, the lefty-hitting Miller may have recaptured a strong-side platoon role at designated hitter. He went 3-for-5 with a walk between the past two contests, while Ezequiel Duran and Josh Smith both picked up starts at third base. The hot-hitting Duran appears likely to serve as the Rangers' main option at the hot corner moving forward, while the slumping Smith could shift into more of a utility role.

Miller started at designated hitter and went 2-for-2 in Monday's 2-1 win over Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Miller started for the fifth time in the last seven games -- all against right-handers -- and seemingly holds onto a regular gig despite an average hovering around .200 and the promotion of several younger players during the course of the season. He was eventually lifted for a pinch hitter in the sixth inning against lefty Sam Moll, so Miller remains a situational player under new Texas manager Tony Beasley.

Miller is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

After returning from the injured list in Friday's 2-1 loss while going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts, Miller looks like he'll serve as a bench bat for the Rangers moving forward. The lefty-hitting veteran will take a seat for the second straight game in the series with the White Sox, with both of his absences coming against right-handed starting pitchers (Michael Kopech and Lucas Giolito).

Miller went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Friday's 2-1 loss to the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Miller spent the last two weeks on the injured list with a neck strain and returns without an obvious home for consistent playing time. The lefty-hitter has been a regular against right-handers in left field, at third base or as a designated hitter, but a .591 OPS against them doesn't support his continued use as a platoon partner. The Rangers have recently called up younger talent, like Elier Hernandez, Bubba Thompson and Ezequiel Duran, who could limit Miller to a utility bench role.

Miller (neck) was activated from the 10-day injured list and will bat ninth as the designated hitter Friday versus the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Miller has been sidelined the past few weeks by a strained neck but will rejoin the active roster Friday after a five-game rehab assignment in the minors. The 32-year-old had a .357 OPS over the last 21 games before landing on the injured list and may not have a regular spot in the lineup.

Miller (neck) will begin a rehab assignment over the weekend, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miller was placed on the injured list July 21 and was first eligible to be activated Thursday. While he won't make it back that quickly, he could realistically return during the team's upcoming series against Baltimore to begin August.

Miller was placed on the 10-day injured list with a neck strain Thursday, retroactive to July 18.

EDGE Analysis

Miller was out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Miami, and his absence was apparently due to a neck issue that will keep him sidelined for at least a week and a half. He'll be eligible to return as early as July 28, but it's not yet clear when the Rangers expect to have him back in action. Ezequiel Duran was called up to provide additional infield depth, while Elier Hernandez should see an uptick in playing time during Miller's absence.

Miller is out of the lineup for Thursday's game in Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Though the Marlins are bringing right-hander Pablo Lopez to the hill for the make-up game in Miami, the lefty-hitting Miller will cede his role as the Rangers' designated hitter to the righty-hitting Elier Hernandez. It's not clear if manager Chris Woodward is abandoning the platoon between the two players, but Miller hasn't made a compelling case of late to deserve the larger share of playing time. Dating back to June 15, Miller is hitting .158/.200/.175 over a stretch of 20 games.

Miller went 0-for-3 with a walk in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Miller returned from a one-game absence due to a neck injury. The 32-year-old outfielder is typically in the lineup against right-handers, but it's been a while since Miller strung together anything resembling a hot stretch. The veteran doesn't have a hit streak longer than three games in 2022, and the last one came May 10 through 12 -- he's batting .188 since. And now with the emergence of Leody Taveras in center field, a chain reaction has Miller and fellow lefty Kole Calhoun sharing left field.

Miller (neck) is starting a designated hitter and batting eighth in Sunday's series finale versus the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Miller was scratched from Saturday's lineup with neck tightness, but he's ready to go Sunday. The 32-year-old has produced just one hit over his last 10 at-bats, but the one hit was a two-run single.
