Undergoes procedure on elbow
Miller received a hydrodissection procedure on the ulnar nerve in his right elbow earlier this week, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The procedure was to help with inflammation surrounding the nerve in Miller's elbow. He started the season strong with five scoreless outings, but he has taken the loss in two of his last four appearances, giving up five runs on four hits and three walks while striking out two across three innings over that span. Miller was placed on the 15-day IL on Monday, and he is eligible to return in late May.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Sticking with three-pitch mix
Tigers manager A.J. Hinch wants Miller to focus on utilizing his four-seam and split-finger fastballs, but the veteran reliever is insistent on also incorporating his slider, reports Chris McCosky of The Detroit News.
ANALYSIS
Miller uses his four-seamer 66.5 percent of the time and batters are just 2-for-23 against it so far this season, while hitters have an 83.2-mph exit velocity versus his splitter. The slider hasn't been as effective with a .463 wOBA against, but the 33-year-old apparently remains adamant about using all three pitches. Regardless of the pitches he's using, the overall results for Miller in 2024 have been great, as he has a 2.38 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB across 11.1 innings.

Miller spent most of last season in Triple-A, where he racked up a 3.04 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, 69:21 K:BB ratio and 12 saves across 53.1 frames (43 appearances). The 32-year-old did make four appearances at the big league level late in the season, fanning 14 across seven innings for San Francisco, while only walking three. Miller has struggled mightily with his command since 2017, so 2022 was a big step in the right direction. It was enough for the Dodgers to speculate on his upside, as they signed Miller to a major-league deal for 2023, though it's currently unclear what role he will fill in their bullpen. There's enough here to take a stab in the final few rounds of NL-only league drafts or draft-and-holds.
