Bryce Miller on the Cusp of Going on Rehab Assignment
Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryce Miller (oblique) is expected to rejoin the team in Seattle this weekend to have the training staff get a closer look at his progression and rehab from left-oblique inflammation, according to Daniel Kremer of MLB.com. Kramer is suggesting that his news could mean that Miller is about to start a minor-league rehab assignment. Miller's rehab stint is expected to consist of multiple starts to build his workload back to the range of five or six innings and/or 80 to 90 pitches. He threw a bullpen session on Sunday that went "very well," according to manager Dan Wilson. Miller has been dealing with an oblique issue since his first spring training start on Feb. 26, and he was put on the 15-day injured list to begin the year because he didn't have his workload built up enough. Emerson Hancock has taken advantage of the rotation spot with Miller sidelined and has a 2.04 ERA with 19 strikeouts in his three starts. Miller should have a rotation spot waiting for him when he's fully built up, though, and he deserves to be stashed in most fantasy leagues until then.
