Miller picked up the save against San Francisco on Tuesday. He retired both batters he faced in the ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

With usual closer Alex Reyes having pitched each of the previous two days, the Cardinals went to Genesis Cabrera to close out the contest while nursing a one-run ninth-inning lead. Cabrera yielded a hit and a walk to his first two batters, and Miller was then brought in with runners on the corners and one out. The right-hander pulled off the save by inducing a popout and a flyout. In his first two games as a Cardinal, Miller has picked up a hold and a save while pitching 1.2 hitless and scoreless frames. That comes as a bit of a surprise after he gave up five runs in three innings for Washington before he was DFA'd in late June.

Miller, just claimed off waivers from the Nationals on Saturday, fired a scoreless sixth inning during which he issued a walk and recorded a strikeout during a loss to the Rockies on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander got a crack at one of his old clubs in his first taste of game action with the Cardinals and came through with a solid frame. Miller has proven a serviceable middle-relief piece in past stops, and he projects to continue handling relatively low-leverage assignments in St. Louis that will likely limit his fantasy utility outside of very deep formats.

The Cardinals claimed Miller off waivers and activated him for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Miller was designated for assignment Tuesday by the Nationals after allowing five runs in three June innings. The righty has performed better in prior stints with the Nationals and Rockies dating back to 2015, so the Cardinals will now call upon him for additional bullpen depth. Roel Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move.

The Nationals designated Miller for assignment Tuesday, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The righty yielded five runs in just three innings after being called up June 15. Monday against the Mets, Miller allowed two solo home runs while recording just one out, the last outing in what was a short stint with the big-league roster. Miller did excel as a minor-league reliever before getting the call-up, though, so it's possible another team in need of pitching considers claiming him.

Miller's contract was selected by the Nationals on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 34-year-old has thrown 156.1 career major-league innings, the last of which came back in 2019. He owns a lifetime 4.43 ERA and has struck out 24.2 percent of opposing batters while walking 8.2 percent. The veteran right has dominated over 16.1 frames for Triple-A Rochester this season, allowing just a single earned run while striking out 46.8 percent of the batters he's faced. Max Scherzer (groin) landed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Miller signed a minor-league contract with the Nationals on Friday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miller last appeared in the majors in 2019 and spent the entire 2020 campaign with the Blue Jays and Reds at their alternate training sites. The 33-year-old won't be invited to major-league spring training in 2021, so he should begin the year in the minors.

Miller was acquired by the Reds from the Blue Jays on Tuesday in exchange for international cap space.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old has been in Toronto's 60-player pool all season and will join a new organization for the closing stretch of the year. Miller appeared in 17 games for the Nationals last season and had a 4.02 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 11:4 K:BB, and he should report to the Reds' alternate training site.

Miller will be a part of the Blue Jays' 60-man roster.

EDGE Analysis

Miller joined the Blue Jays on a minor-league deal in December, and he posted a 1.50 ERA and a 6:1 K:BB over six innings during spring training before play was suspended. The right-hander has made appearances in the majors in five of the past six seasons, so he could provide a veteran option if injuries pile up in the bullpen.

Miller signed a minor-league contract with the Blue Jays on Monday that includes an invitation to spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Miller had lackluster production in limited action in the majors last season, posting a 4.02 ERA with a 1.28 WHIP over 15.2 innings as he dealt with back and shoulder injuries. The 32-year-old has had success in the minors in the past, although it wouldn't be surprising to see him resurface in the majors if injuries occur in Toronto's bullpen.

MIller cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Fresno on Friday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miller was designated for assignment on Wednesday but passed through waivers unclaimed. He recorded a 4.02 ERA in 15.2 innings before missing a large portion of the season with a shoulder injury.
