Miller (elbow) is scheduled to extend his throwing distance off flat ground to 125 feet next week, the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miller began his throwing program a little under two weeks ago and has been eased along slowly, as he has yet to graduate to mound work. That could happen shortly after he pushes his flat-ground distance to 125 feet, but it's still looking unlikely that Miller will return from the 60-day disabled list until the second half of September, at the earliest. If that ends up being the case, Miller would likely be deployed out of the bullpen, as he wouldn't have enough time to condition his arm for a starter's workload.

Miller (elbow) threw from approximately 75-to-100 feet Monday, Martin Oppegaard of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Diamondbacks are planning on having Miller extend his throwing distance off flat ground a little more this week before perhaps clearing the right-hander to resume mound work. Miller has been eased along slowly since being shut down in late July with right elbow inflammation and appears to have run out of time to build up to a starter's workload before the end of the regular season. If Miller endures no setbacks in his recovery and is able to return from the 60-day disabled list in September, he would likely be limited to a low-leverage role out of the bullpen.

Miller (elbow) increased his throwing distance to 75 feet off flat ground Tuesday, the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's only an incremental step forward for Miller, who had been throwing from 60 feet as of last weekend. Miller seems likely to be limited to flat-ground throwing for at least another week before the Diamondbacks clear him for mound work.

Miller (elbow) threw off flat ground Saturday from approximately 60 feet, the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miller had been shut down for about five weeks with right elbow inflammation before the Diamondbacks cleared him to resume a throwing program. It's expected that the team will proceed cautiously in moving Miller through his rehab, given that he's just over 15 months removed from undergoing Tommy John surgery. Miller had made four starts for the big club before hitting the 60-day disabled list, but it's expected he'll return in a bullpen role if the Diamondbacks choose to activate him before the regular season draws to a close.

Miller (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day disabled list on Tuesday, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic Arizona reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miller lasted just four poor starts in his return from Tommy John surgery before being shut down again with elbow inflammation. An MRI revealed no further UCL damage, but the shift to the 60-day disabled list indicates that Miller's injury is a serious one. He'll be ineligible to return until September 11, at which point it's possible that the Diamondbacks just keep him on the DL to rest. The move makes room for the addition of deadline-day acquisition Brad Ziegler.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Friday that Miller (elbow) could rejoin the big club in a relief role if and when he's ready to return from the 10-day disabled list, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic Arizona reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miller returned from a nearly 14-month-long layoff from Tommy John surgery and rejoined the Diamondbacks in late June, making just four turns through the rotation before being shut down with elbow inflammation. Arizona will re-evaluate Miller by the end of the month before determining his next step, but given that the 27-year-old has already experienced a setback with his surgically repaired elbow, the club could be inclined to take a prudent approach with him once he's cleared to resume throwing. Using Miller out of the bullpen would be a way for the Diamondbacks to both limit the strain on his elbow and enhance his effectiveness, as his results through four starts (11.40 ERA, 2.07 WHIP in 15 innings) simply didn't cut it.

Miller's (elbow) MRI revealed no further damage to his UCL, though he will be shut down for at least another week, Jack Magruder of The Sports Xchange reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miller hit the disabled list on July 12 with elbow inflammation, a worrying diagnosis for a pitcher who only very recently returned from Tommy John surgery. It appears that he was lucky enough to avoid another UCL tear, though the Diamondbacks will certainly be careful with him going forward. He had struggled to an 11.40 ERA in four starts since returning to action, so there will be significant question marks about both his health and effectiveness for the rest of the season.

Miller (elbow) underwent an MRI on Thursday, but the team has yet to announce an official reading on the results, Tori McElhaney of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Diamondbacks placed Miller on the 10-day disabled list Thursday with a preliminary diagnosis of right elbow inflammation after he exited his start against the Rockies a day earlier upon giving up five runs in the first inning. According to manager Torey Lovullo, Miller was evaluated by a team physician, who ruled "everything was OK" with regards to the structural integrity of the right-hander's surgically repaired elbow. However, the Diamondbacks still want Dr. Neal ElAttrache, the surgeon who performed Miller's May 2017 Tommy John surgery, to analyze the MRI results early next week, at which point a formal diagnosis should be revealed. Miller is eligible to return from the DL after the All-Star break, but he'll at least need to complete a bullpen session or two and face hitters in batting practice before being activated.

Miller was put on the 10-day disabled list due to right elbow inflammation Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Miller suffered the injury during Wednesday's start in Colorado, which was just his fourth appearance since returning from Tommy John surgery in late June. He went back to Arizona for further evaluation Thursday, though the results of that examination have yet to be revealed outside of this diagnosis. Look for a timetable to be cleared up in the coming days, which should shed some light on whether Miller will be able to make his first turn in the rotation following the All-Star break.

Miller returned to Arizona and is scheduled for an evaluation Thursday after exiting Wednesday's start against the Rockies with right elbow tightness, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miller was making only his fourth start for the Diamondbacks since returning from Tommy John surgery, so the fact that he experienced a setback with his elbow is fairly concerning. The Diamondbacks should have a better handle on the extent of Miller's injury after sending him for X-rays and/or an MRI. If Miller requires a trip to the disabled list and isn't available to make his first turn through the rotation out of the All-Star break, Clay Buchholz (oblique) would likely be ready to come off the DL and replace the right-hander as Arizona's fifth starter.
