Cubs' Tyson Miller: Sent outright to Triple-A
The Chicago Cubs outrighted Tyson 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
The Chicago Cubs reinstated Tyson 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.

Cubs' Tyson Miller: Starts up rehab assignment
Tyson Miller (hip) struck out two over a scoreless inning during a rehab appearance with Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday.The Chicago Cubs placed Miller on the 15-day injured list March 25 due to a left hip impingement, an injury that had been affecting his delivery while pitching. Now that he's resumed pitching at Triple-A, Miller has seemingly moved past the injury, though he'll still likely need to make another appearance or two in the minors before the Cubs activate him from the IL. Miller excelled while working as a setup man and in middle relief between stops with the Mariners and Cubs in 2024, registering a 2.32 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 54:11 K:BB to go with 13 holds, five wins and one save over 62 innings.

Cubs' Tyson Miller: May see less high-leverage work
With the Chicago 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, Tyson 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.

Cubs' Tyson Miller: Earns fifth win Saturday
Tyson Miller (5-1) worked around a hit in a scoreless two-thirds of an inning to earn the win Saturday against the Reds.Chicago starter Kyle Hendricks was stellar through 7.1 innings as he kept Cincinnati off the board, but the Chicago Cubs turned to Miller to get through the top of the eighth. The righty delivered and then was set up for the win when the Cubs scored all three of their runs in the bottom of the eighth. Miller has been excellent for Chicago this season with a 2.32 ERA and 0.81 WHIP across 62 innings of relief, and his five wins are the most on the team among current members of the bullpen.

Cubs' Tyson Miller: Grabs save Sunday
Tyson Miller struck out two without allowing a baserunner over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Rockies.Keegan Thompson pitched a perfect eighth inning but let three straight batters reach to begin the ninth. Miller then entered the game, allowing one inherited runner to score but successfully escaping the danger to earn his first career save. He likely got the save chance because Porter Hodge took a blown save in Saturday's contest. Miller has pitched to a 2.37 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 69:28 K:BB while adding 12 holds through through 57 innings this season between the Chicago Cubs and the Mariners.

Cubs' Tyson Miller: Rough outing again Tuesday
Tyson Miller allowed three runs on two hits and a walk across an inning of relief in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to the Pirates.Chicago already trailed 2-0 when Miller came on in the seventh inning, so the righty didn't take the loss, though he didn't help his team's cause, either. Miller allowed a three-run bomb to Jared Triolo, who has just a .599 OPS this season, to cap off the rough outing. This is the second time in his last three appearances that Miller has allowed three runs, but he still has a strong 2.61 ERA overall, so it's probably not time to hit the panic button quite yet.
