Overview
- Miller, who threw a bullpen Sunday that went very well, will be flown from Arizona to Seattle for an up-close check by the big-league training staff.
- After that evaluation, he is expected to start a Minor League rehab with multiple outings to build to five or six innings or about 80–90 pitches, likely at Triple-A Tacoma with High-A Everett also possible.
- Emerson Hancock has held Miller’s rotation spot with a 2.04 ERA over 17 2/3 innings in three starts, which could force a decision when Miller is ready.
- Manager Dan Wilson described Victor Robles’ throwing-arm return timeline as uncertain after an injury during outfield drills.
- Luke Raley has taken most starts in right field and the club has other options, easing any need to rush Robles back.
