Bryce Miller Cuts Bullpen Short With Left-Side Tightness as Opening Day Outlook Dims

Seattle adopts a conservative ramp-up that keeps him playing catch with a light bullpen targeted within days.

Overview

  • The right-hander stopped a scheduled 25-pitch session after early warmup throws due to tightness in his left side.
  • He was shut down for the day but was not halted from all throwing, according to team officials.
  • The plan calls for a touch-and-feel bullpen in roughly three to four days, then another full-effort try about a week from now if there are no issues.
  • GM Justin Hollander said the club instructed Miller not to push through any discomfort as part of a cautious rehab approach.
  • The setback pushes his timeline back about a week, leaving his Opening Day status in doubt and raising the possibility of an IL start with Emerson Hancock or Cooper Criswell among internal options.
