Phillies’ Top Prospect Aidan Miller Back in Camp, Feeling Better but Still Without Timetable

The Phillies are taking a conservative approach after team doctors assessed his recurrent back soreness.

Overview

  • Miller traveled to Philadelphia to see team doctors, which manager Rob Thomson described as a visit to "close the loop" on evaluations.
  • The 21-year-old infielder has not swung a bat in about two weeks and remains limited in his work after rejoining camp in Clearwater.
  • There is no target date for his return, and it remains uncertain whether he will play in Grapefruit League games or be ready for Triple-A Lehigh Valley’s March 27 opener.
  • Miller told reporters he is starting to feel a lot better and said he does not believe the issue will be long term.
  • President of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said it is too soon to call the issue chronic, and the setback has interrupted planned shortstop and third-base reps this spring.
