Miller (elbow) cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller was designated for assignment early in the week, but he'll remain with the Cardinals' organization for now after going unclaimed on waivers. It's not yet clear whether the 34-year-old's right elbow strain -- which he suffered in late September -- will affect his availability for spring training in 2022.

Miller (elbow) was designated for assignment by the Cardinals on Monday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller sustained a right elbow strain late in the 2021 season and was unable to return for the NL Wild Card Game. The right-hander will now lose his spot on the 40-man roster after Jordan Hicks (elbow) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Monday. Miller made 23 appearances with the Nationals and Cardinals in 2021 and posted a 6.16 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in 19 innings.

Miller landed on the 10-day injured list with a right elbow strain Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The move ends Miller's regular season, as there are just nine days left on the schedule. He'll close the year with a 6.16 ERA in 19 major-league innings for the National and Cardinals. Whether or not he'll be in the mix to return for the playoffs remains to be seen, though it would have to be a very minor strain for him to make it back by the Wild Card Game.

Miller (1-0) fired a perfect eighth inning, earning the win over the Padres on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Miller entered the eighth inning with the Cardinals down a pair of runs. After he retired the side in order, St. Louis took the lead to set up Miller with the win. He has two scoreless appearances since returning from the injured list with an elbow injury. The 36-year-old has a 5.14 ERA and 1.29 WHIP with nine strikeouts in 14 innings this season.

Miller (elbow) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Miller had been on the injured list with right ulnar nerve irritation since Aug. 18, but he recently made a pair of rehab appearances and allowed two runs on three hits and no walks while striking out four in two innings. The right-hander has a 7.80 ERA in the majors this year and should pitch mainly in low-leverage situations.

Miller (elbow) is expected to return from the injured list Saturday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller has missed nearly a month with a nerve issue in his right elbow. He allowed a run in both of his rehab appearances but is nonetheless considered ready to go. With a 7.80 ERA in 15 major-league innings this season, he's unlikely to receive high-leverage opportunities.

Miller (elbow) is set to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander last pitched for the Cardinals on Aug. 15 prior to being placed on the 10-day injured list. Once healthy, he will likely return to serving as a low-leverage reliever for the team as he sports a 7.80 ERA in 19 appearances in the majors this season.

Miller (elbow) is progressing well in his recovery and recently began playing catch, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller was placed on the injured list with right ulnar nerve irritation last week, but he was able to make a relatively quick return to throwing. The 34-year-old will need to resume mound work before a return timeline will come into focus.

Miller was placed on the 10-day injured list with right ulnar nerve irritation Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Miller hadn't pitched since Sunday, when he allowed two runs on three hits and no walks while striking out one in a relief inning against the Royals. It's not yet clear whether he'll be forced to spend more than the minimum of 10 days on the shelf, but right-hander Junior Fernandez was recalled to take his place in the bullpen.

Miller allowed two earned runs on a walk and a hit batsman over one-third of an inning in a win over the Reds on Sunday. He struck out one.
EDGE Analysis
Miller had a rough start to the seventh inning, and he ultimately threw 21 pitches before getting the hook. The veteran right-hander had been in a brief but welcome groove prior to Sunday's outing, stringing together four straight scoreless efforts covering 2.2 frames. Miller has now allowed multiple earned runs in four of 13 appearances, leading to an ugly 9.72 ERA and 1.44 WHIP across 8.1 innings.
