• Cubs' Tyson Miller: Sent outright to Triple-A

  06/12/2025 • By RotoWire

  The Cubs outrighted Miller to Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday. The fact that Miller cleared waivers after being removed from the Cubs' 40-man roster is somewhat surprising, given his impressive 2.32 ERA and 0.81 WHIP across 62 innings last season. Miller has the ability to elect free agency since he's been outrighted previously, but it's unclear what his plans are.

• Cubs' Tyson Miller: Reinstated, DFA'd by Cubs

  06/05/2025 • By RotoWire

  The Cubs reinstated Miller (hip) from the 60-day injured list Thursday and designated him for assignment, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Miller has been on the injured list all season due to a left hip impingement. He began a rehab assignment in the minors April 15 and has since posted a 2.77 ERA and 1.69 WHIP across 13 innings at Triple-A Iowa. Despite his strong performance in the minors, the Cubs will push the 29-year-old off their 40-man roster and expose him to waivers. Miller finished last season with a dominant 2.32 ERA and 0.81 WHIP across 62 innings between Chicago and Seattle, so he'll likely attract interest on the waiver wire.

  The Cubs placed Miller on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a left hip impingement. Miller will be eligible for activation April 5, but it's not clear whether he might be ready by then. The right-handed reliever posted a 2.15 ERA and 42:10 K:BB over 50.1 innings for the Cubs last season and is pegged for middle relief once healthy.

• Cubs' Tyson Miller: May see less high-leverage work

  02/05/2025 • By RotoWire

  With the Cubs trading for Ryan Brasier on Wednesday, per Jeff Passan of ESPN.com, and adding Caleb Thielbar, Eli Morgan and Ryan Pressly earlier in the offseason, Miller may see less high-leverage work in 2025. Porter Hodge was closing games for the Cubs at the end of last season, but Miller was seeing important setup work ahead of him. The veteran Pressly now figures to get the first shot at the closer role, which would presumably push Hodge into eighth-inning work. Brasier, Morgan and Thielbar are also all experienced relievers with successful track records, giving manager Craig Counsell some options to choose from toward the end of games. Miller was effective for the Cubs in 2024, posting a 2.15 ERA across 50.1 innings of relief, so he figures to still have a key role even with the added competition, though he may get knocked down a few rungs in the bullpen.
