Mason Miller Returns From Bereavement List on Friday
The San Diego Padres announced on Friday, before their series opener in Texas against the Rangers, that they reinstated right-handed closer Mason Miller from the bereavement/family medical leave list and optioned right-handed reliever Bradgley Rodriguez to the rookie-level Arizona Complex League in a corresponding move. Miller left the team on Monday, but he'll be available if a save situation arises at Globe Life Field on Friday versus the Rangers. Despite missing some time this week, Miller is second in the big leagues in saves (19) and has been one of the most dominant closers in the game in 2026 in his first full year in San Diego, posting a microscopic 0.90 ERA (0.36 FIP), 0.80 WHIP, and a 59:12 K:BB in 30 innings pitched for the Friars. After picking up seven saves in a busy month of May for the Padres, Miller hasn't been used all that much so far in June, throwing just five innings while giving up one earned run, striking out 10, walking just one, and picking up two saves. Fantasy managers need to get the flamethrowing fireman back into their starting lineups for the weekend series in Texas.
