"The right-hander reported some discomfort on his left side on Thursday, and a subsequent MRI revealed inflammation. Miller received a PRP shot and will be fully re-evaluated in about a week, though he could begin playing catch in a few days."
"Drayer described Miller's shutdown as 'very precautionary,' and the soreness was mild enough that Miller might not have even told the team if the issue has arisen during the regular season. That said, there obviously isn't any reason for Miller or the Mariners to push things during Spring Training."
"Miller is already coming off an injury-marred season that saw him limited to 90 1/3 regular-season innings. Bone spurs in his throwing elbow twice sent Miller to the IL, though he returned in the last half of August to make eight more starts, and then posted a 2.51 ERA over three starts and 14 1 1/3 innings in the playoffs."
Mariners general manager Justin Hollander reported that right-hander Bryce Miller developed left-side soreness during spring training, with an MRI revealing inflammation. Miller received a PRP shot and will undergo full re-evaluation in approximately one week, potentially beginning throwing activities within days. The shutdown is characterized as precautionary, with the soreness mild enough that Miller might not have reported it during the regular season. Miller could start the season on the 15-day injured list if unable to resume normal spring training activities. This follows Miller's injury-plagued previous season limited to 90 1/3 innings due to bone spurs in his throwing elbow. Rather than surgery, Miller pursued non-surgical treatments including cortisone and PRP injections. If Miller requires IL placement, Emerson Hancock would likely serve as rotation replacement.
