Overview
- Seattle reinstated Bryce Miller from the injured list Wednesday, opening a spot by designating left-hander José Suarez for assignment.
- Miller worked 5.1 innings in his 2026 debut and was charged with two earned runs in a 4-3, extra-innings loss to the Astros.
- He had missed the first 43 games with a left oblique strain and ramped up with two rehab starts at High-A Everett and two at Triple-A Tacoma.
- With Miller back, coverage says the club is weighing a six-man rotation or role changes for Emerson Hancock or struggling veteran Luis Castillo.
- Hancock has a 3.21 ERA across eight starts this year, strengthening his case to remain in the rotation even as Seattle’s pitching depth grows.
