Is Aidan Miller Worth Stashing Amid Rehab Progress?
Philadelphia Phillies shortstop prospect Aidan Miller (back) is beginning to make some progress in his return from a lower back issue that has kept him out of all regular-season games so far this year. The Phils' top-ranked prospect dealt with the issue late in 2025, and it has lingered into 2026, but he's finally begun to resume "light baseball activities" per interim manager Don Mattingly. The former first-rounder finished the 2025 campaign strong, hitting .356 with a 1.088 OPS from July 27 on (39 games), culminating in a .264/.392/.433 slash line for the season, with 14 home runs and 59 steals. Unfortunately, no clear timetable has been given for his return, and he'll likely need to show he's kicked the rust off at Triple-A for a while before the team decides to call him up for a big league debut. Trea Turner also stands in his way at short, so perhaps the team will look to get him some experience elsewhere on the diamond. Regardless, few can match his power-speed combo, so fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progress as the 21-year-old could eventually become the top hitter to stash in all leagues later this year.
