Rest-of-Season Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Miller spent most of last season in Triple-A, where he racked up a 3.04 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, 69:21 K:BB ratio and 12 saves across 53.1 frames (43 appearances). The 32-year-old did make four appearances at the big league level late in the season, fanning 14 across seven innings for San Francisco, while only walking three. Miller has struggled mightily with his command since 2017, so 2022 was a big step in the right direction. It was enough for the Dodgers to speculate on his upside, as they signed Miller to a major-league deal for 2023, though it's currently unclear what role he will fill in their bullpen. There's enough here to take a stab in the final few rounds of NL-only league drafts or draft-and-holds. Read Past Outlooks

Working as opener Sunday
Miller will start Sunday's game against the Mariners, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller will make his first start since 2019 as he serves as an opener for the series finale in Seattle. The veteran right-hander has a 2.00 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 36:18 K:BB across 36 frames this season and should cover an inning or two Sunday. Ryan Yarbrough and Gavin Stone are poised to follow Miller as Los Angeles' bulk pitchers, per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times.

Miller returned from Tommy John surgery at the end of June. Things didn't go as planned for the right-hander, as he was tagged for 21 runs (19 earned) over four starts (15 innings) before landing back on the disabled list with elbow inflammation and missing almost the entire rest of the year. He was able to toss a scoreless inning of relief in the penultimate game of the season. Arizona non-tendered the 28-year-old this winter, an understandable move given his injury history and underwhelming numbers over the past three seasons (5-18 record, 6.35 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 109:62 K:BB across 139 innings). Miller signed a one-year, major-league contract with the Rangers, and while he now has to make his home starts in one of the toughest venues for pitchers, at least he will be afforded a long leash in the starting rotation with Texas.
