Miley will be the third starter in the rotation this season, the Tacoma News Tribune reports.
This was expected, but manager Scott Servais confirmed it Monday. Miley had a quiet spring training, but he had 11 strikeouts to three walks in 16 innings. He's an innings-eater, pitching at least 190 innings the last four years. If he does that again, the Mariners will be pleased.
