Scouting Report: Jake Miller
Detroit Tigers | P
Overall
Summary
Bryce Miller, 27-year-old right-hander for the Seattle Mariners, is being reinstated from the 15-day injured list after suffering a left oblique strain in spring training (retroactive to March 25). Miller made four rehab starts posting a combined 1.98 ERA with 14 strikeouts in 13.2 innings, including a dominant five-inning shutout performance with 98 mph velocity. He is set to make his 2026 season debut Wednesday against the Houston Astros. The Mariners are implementing a six-man rotation initially, with potential piggyback usage alongside Luis Castillo. Miller struggled in 2025 with a 5.68 ERA and 1.406 WHIP but showed resilience in the postseason (2.51 ERA over three starts). His return creates a rotation logjam as Emerson Hancock has been performing well in his absence.
Strengths
- Dominant rehab performance with 1.98 ERA over 13.2 innings
