Miller (3-1) allowed a run on two hits across an inning of relief to take the loss Wednesday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
After starting the season with seven scoreless innings, Miller has now allowed runs in each of his last two appearances, suffering a blown save and a loss in the process. The righty still has a solid 1.93 ERA, and despite the hiccup, he should remain one of the top bullpen options for the Tigers moving forward.

Miller (2-0) pitched two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win in the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Mets. He walked two and struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
Miller has been great so far, as he's now logged six scoreless innings and six strikeouts across four appearances. While he's not the official closer yet, Miller could push his way into the role if he continues to pitch this well. The veteran righty only has one MLB save, however, which came last season with the Dodgers, so he doesn't have a ton of experience closing out games. For now, Miller will be locked in as an excellent setup option who could see some save opportunities here and there in a fluid Detroit bullpen.

Miller (1-0) tossed two scoreless innings to earn the win in relief during Saturday's 7-6, 10-inning victory over the White Sox. He struck out one.
EDGE Analysis
Detroit starter Kenta Maeda was tagged for six runs over 3.1 innings, but the Detroit bullpen was lights out the rest of the way, punctuated by Miller at the end. The righty has now tossed three scoreless innings across the team's first two games, so he may be unavailable Sunday. However, Miller looks like he'll be a heavily used and valuable reliver for the Tigers moving forward.

Miller recorded a 2.70 ERA and 10 strikeouts across 6.2 innings this spring and is set for an Opening Day bullpen role in Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Miller didn't see a ton of work this spring, though he was effective. The veteran righty joined the Tigers on a one-year, $3 million contract in December, and he should slot into a fairly high-leverage role. While Alex Lange is set to close games for now, he struggled with command in 2023, meaning that Miller could emerge as an option for saves at some point if he pitches well. At the very least, he should be a decent source of holds and solid ratios.

Miller signed a one-year, $3 million contract with the Tigers on Friday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
The deal also includes a $4.25 million club option (or $250,000 buyout) for 2025. Miller had a sneaky-good season for the Dodgers in 2023 in relief, collecting a 1.71 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 42:19 K:BB over 42 innings. He should be used in high-leverage spots out of Detroit's bullpen.

Miller will start Sunday's game against the Mariners, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller will make his first start since 2019 as he serves as an opener for the series finale in Seattle. The veteran right-hander has a 2.00 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 36:18 K:BB across 36 frames this season and should cover an inning or two Sunday. Ryan Yarbrough and Gavin Stone are poised to follow Miller as Los Angeles' bulk pitcher, per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times.

The Dodgers activated Miller (neck) from the 60-day injured list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Finally recovered from the neck injury that has kept him out since June, Miller will return to the Los Angeles bullpen ahead of Thursday's series opener against Atlanta. He had posted an impressive 2.40 ERA with 31 strikeouts in 30 innings of relief for the Dodgers prior to the lengthy IL stint.

Miller will be activated from the 60-day IL once rosters expand Friday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller has been on the injured list since June 21 due to pain in his neck and began a rehab assignment Aug. 5. After throwing 2.2 scoreless innings in rookie ball, Miller surrendered five runs over four innings across five appearances with Triple-A Oklahoma City. Clearly, there is still a bit of rust for Shelby to shake off, but he will at least provide depth to the Dodgers' bullpen as they gear up for a playoff run.

Miller (neck) is expected to be activated from the 60-day injured list during the team's current homestand, which runs until Sept. 3, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller has been on the injured list since June 21 due to neck pain, but skipper Dave Roberts stated Monday that the veteran is close to a return. Once activated, he'll rejoin the Dodgers' bullpen, where he found success earlier in the year. Miller owns a 2.40 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with a 31:18 K:BB across 30 innings so far this season.

Miller (neck) had his minor-league rehab assignment shifted to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, per OKC's broadcaster and communications director Alex Freedman.
EDGE Analysis
Miller began a rehab stint Aug. 5 and made three appearances for the Dodgers' Arizona Complex League club, allowing two unearned runs and posting an 8:2 K:BB over 2.2 innings. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Miller will likely need 2-to-3 outings with OKC, including pitching on back-to-back days, before he's ready to be activated off the 60-day IL, per Eric Stephen of SBNation.com. Once that happens, Miller should regain a prominent role in the big-league club's bullpen, where's he pitched to a 2.40 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 31:18 K:BB over 30 innings on the campaign.
