Miller has a 3.86 ERA for Oklahoma City, but it comes with 22 walks and 15 strikeouts in 21 innings. It’s the opposite of the issue he had in his one major league start last month, when he posted a 7/1 K/BB in three innings but gave up eight hits and six runs anyway. Unfortunately, any hopes of him putting things back together right away this year have been dashed.

Miller was going to head back to Oklahoma City even if he pitched well Wednesday, but it’s worth noting that the 26-year-old scuffled while allowing six runs in his start against the Rockies. The 26-year-old will likely get back at some point with Los Angeles in coming weeks/months, but for now he’ll head back to OKC with a corresponding move to be announced Friday.

Miller was making his first start of the 2025 season, and it’s hard to fathom it went how he wanted it to. Fortunately for him and the fantasy managers who streamed him against the lowly Rockies, he received seven runs of support while he was in, so he wasn’t charged with a loss. He did strike out seven, but he allowed eight hits as well; two of those hits leaving the ballpark. The biggest blow was a grand slam by Michael Toglia, buth e pitched shakily — to put it nicely — for most of the contest. There’s no start scheduled, but if Miller does get another outing, it’ll likely come against the Cubs on Wednesday.

Miller will make his long-awaited season debut on Wednesday night against the Rockies. The 26-year-old former top pitching prospect offers some real intrigue for fantasy purposes if his stuff looks as potent as it did during the early stages of spring training before he was struck in the head by a line drive. He’s worthy of a speculative roster spot in deeper mixed leagues based on his immense raw talent alone.
