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.

Cubs' Tyson Miller: Struggles in Friday's outing
Tyson Miller allowed three runs on two hits and a walk while retiring only a single batter in relief during Friday's 7-6 win over the Nationals.Miller was tasked with the bottom of the ninth inning in a non-save situation with the Chicago Cubs up 7-3. However, things quickly went awry for the righty, and Chicago eventually turned to Drew Smyly and then Keegan Thompson to record the last two outs of the frame, with the latter picking up the save. Miller saw his ERA climb from 1.64 to 2.17 in the process. His previous success suggests he'll bounce back quickly from the rough outing, as this was the first time he allowed a run since late July, breaking a streak of 11 straight scoreless appearances.

Cubs' Tyson Miller: Picks up win Friday
Tyson Miller (4-1) tossed a scoreless 10th inning to earn the win out of the bullpen Friday against the Blue Jays.After Hector Neris blew the save by allowing three runs in the ninth inning, Miller picked Chicago up with a much better 10th, needing just five pitches to shut the door on Toronto. The righty has been solid this season, as he now has a 1.83 ERA and 0.77 WHIP across 44.1 innings for the Chicago Cubs and Mariners. If Neris gets pulled from the closer role due to his middling performance, Miller could be a candidate to see save opportunities, though Porter Hodge is probably ahead of him right now in the bullpen pecking order.

Cubs' Tyson Miller: Earns win in relief
Tyson Miller (3-1) tossed 1.2 scoreless innings of relief to earn the win Friday against the Cardinals. He struck out one.Chicago starter Javier Assad only lasted four innings in this one, which opened the door for Miller to pick up his third win in relief this year. The righty has emerged as a nice bullpen option for the Chicago Cubs, posting a 2.06 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 36 strikeouts across 39.1 innings. He's still likely behind both Hector Neris and Porter Hodge in the pecking order for saves, though with Mark Leiter traded to New York, Miller could at least see a bit more high-leverage work moving forward.

The righty now has a 2.01 ERA for the season, which includes a stellar 0.84 ERA over 10.2 innings with Chicago. Miller has limited fantasy upside as a middle reliever, though he's been excellent in his role.

Mariners' Tyson Miller: DFA'd by Seattle

Since having his contract selected from Triple-A Tacoma on April 8, Miller has appeared in nine games for the Mariners, posting a 3.09 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 12:1 K:BB over 11.2 frames.

Mariners' Tyson Miller: Impresses in debut
Tyson Miller, promoted from Triple-A Tacoma earlier in the day, fired two perfect innings during which he recorded two strikeouts in a loss to the Blue Jays on Monday.Miller was exceedingly sharp, firing 18 of 21 pitches for strikes after taking over for starter Luis Castillo in the sixth inning. The right-hander's pristine showing Tuesday was essentially an extension of the impressive body of work he put together during Cactus League play, and Miller could conceivably carve out a long-term spot for himself in the Seattle Mariners bullpen if he continues to distinguish himself while helping fill in for Cody Bolton (illness) and Collin Snider (knee) during their respective injured list stints.
