Seattle Mariners pitcher Bryce Miller is set to return to the 15-day injured list due to elbow inflammation. Manager Dan Wilson confirmed this development following the Mariners’ recent 8-4 defeat in 11 innings to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Wilson noted that the situation mirrors Miller’s previous injury, stating that the cortisone shot he received was not as effective as anticipated.
The 26-year-old Miller had just come off the injured list on May 31 and had made two starts since his return, where he allowed five runs on six hits during his latest outing—a 5-4 loss against the Los Angeles Angels. His performance this season has been challenging; he currently holds a record of 2-5 with a 5.73 ERA across ten starts.
In light of Miller’s absence, the Mariners have recalled Logan Evans, a 24-year-old right-hander, from Triple-A Tacoma to take the mound in Tuesday’s matchup against Arizona. Additionally, Bryan Woo’s start has been rescheduled to Wednesday.
This injury highlights the coming challenges for the Mariners as they navigate through the season. The positive note here is the team’s depth in talent, as they adjust their lineup and look to maintain competitiveness in Miller’s absence. Fans remain hopeful that this change can lead to opportunities for other players to step up and shine as the Mariners strive for success going forward.
