Bryce Miller, 27-year-old right-hander for the Seattle Mariners, is working his way back from a left oblique strain sustained during spring training that landed him on the 15-day IL to begin the 2026 season. He began his rehab assignment on April 18 and has made four minor league starts, including three consecutive scoreless outings. Miller struck out three while allowing two hits and three walks over five shutout innings in his most recent High-A Everett start on Wednesday. The Mariners plan to utilize the full 30 days allowed for his rehab stint, potentially giving him two more starts before returning to MLB. His return is expected during the team's upcoming road trip against the White Sox or Astros. Miller struggled in 2025 with a 5.68 ERA and 1.406 WHIP over 90.1 innings, but hopes to return to his 2024 form (2.94 ERA, 0.976 WHIP). The Mariners face a rotation decision upon his return, with Emerson Hancock performing well in Miller's absence.
