The Tigers placed Miller on unconditional release waivers Sunday. Miller was already cast off the 40-man roster and was set to be a free agent this offseason, so he's just becoming a free agent a little earlier than he otherwise would. The 33-year-old righty had a 4.53 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 49 strikeouts in 55.2 innings this year.

The Tigers designated Miller for assignment Tuesday. Miller has been used as a high-leverage reliever at times this season, but of late his stuff and swing-and-miss ability has fallen off, as he has just a 1:4 K:BB in 4.2 innings this month. There's a chance Miller will get scooped up on waivers, but that possibility lessens given that there's so little time left in the season.

The Tigers are expected to designate Miller for assignment prior to Tuesday's game against the Rays, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. Detroit plans to call up top pitching prospect Jackson Jobe in a corresponding move, with the young right-hander set to take Miller's spot on the 40-man roster and in the big-league bullpen. Miller has made 51 appearances for Detroit this season, logging a 4.53 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 49:13 K:BB across 55.2 innings while gathering six wins, five holds and two saves.

Miller (6-8) allowed two runs (one earned) on one hit across 1.1 innings of relief to take the loss Friday against the Red Sox. He struck out two. Miller worked through the top of the ninth inning in order, with the last two batters retired via strikeout. The veteran righty came back out for the 10th with the game tied 4-4 but allowed a Ceddanne Rafaela home run with one out to make it 6-4, after which Miller got the hook. Despite the loss, Miller has been pitching well lately, as this performance snapped a streak of nine straight scoreless outings. His ERA sits at 4.76 after being north of 6.00 at the end of June.

Miller (6-7) tossed 1.1 scoreless innings of relief to earn the win in Thursday's 2-1 victory over the Mariners. He struck out one. Miller got Jorge Polanco to fly out to end the top of the seventh inning, then pitched a clean eighth inning to ultimately pick up the win out of the bullpen. The veteran righty has had a few meltdowns this season, which has led to an ugly 5.36 ERA overall, but the Tigers still seem to trust him in high-leverage spots. That role gives Miller some value in deeper fantasy formats, though his volatility has made him hard an unreliable option.
