Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Bryce Miller, 27-year-old right-hander for the Seattle Mariners, has been reinstated from the 15-day injured list after recovering from a left oblique strain sustained in spring training. Miller made his 2026 season debut on Wednesday against the Houston Astros. During his rehab assignment, he posted a 1.98 ERA with 14 strikeouts and 7 walks over 13.2 innings across four rehab starts, including a dominant 5-inning shutout performance on May 6 at High-A Everett with 98 mph velocity. The Mariners are implementing a six-man rotation initially, with potential plans for a piggyback arrangement with Luis Castillo. Miller's return addresses rotation depth concerns, as the staff ERA has deteriorated from 3.35 in games 1-20 to 4.42 in games 21-40.
