Phillies Sideline Top Prospect Aidan Miller With No Timeline as Back Issue Persists

Team officials say they will move slowly to protect the 21-year-old’s long-term health.

Overview

  • Dave Dombrowski said Sunday that Aidan Miller has no timetable to resume baseball work and is limited to running and light conditioning.
  • Miller will not play in Grapefruit League games and has been returned to the minors after a checkup with a team doctor earlier this month.
  • Daniel Robert collapsed after a bullpen session, was released from a local hospital, and had his implanted defibrillator recalibrated, according to team staff and people close to him.
  • Zack Wheeler threw two innings and 29 pitches in a simulated game, showing progress as he builds back from last year’s health setbacks.
  • Rafael Marchán won the backup catcher job behind J. T. Realmuto, and the club is seeking a trade for out-of-options Garrett Stubbs rather than risk a waiver move.
