Miller revealed after Tuesday's start versus the Angels that his back "locked up" on him pregame, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miller did not sit down in between innings to avoid making the back issue worse. He successfully navigated through five scoreless frames in the outing, although he issued a season-high five walks. Miller also noted that he dealt with some arm soreness earlier this month, saying that it's been "one thing after another that hasn't been major, but just been nagging." The right-hander is scheduled to face the Athletics on Monday and it does not appear at this point that he's in any danger of missing that start.

Miller (2-3) picked up the win in Tuesday's 5-3 victory over the Angels, giving up two hits and five walks over five scoreless innings. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old right-hander continues to fight his control, even though he was able to avoid any damage from his walks Tuesday. The five free passes were a season high for Miller, and after posting a 6.4 percent walk rate in 2024, he's seen that mark balloon to 14.7 percent through six starts and 30.2 innings this year. His 3.52 ERA is still decent on the surface, but his 1.43 WHIP and 4.44 xFIP are red flags that his luck could run out soon. Miller will try to tighten things up in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week against the A's.

Miler (1-3) took the loss against Boston on Tuesday. He allowed four runs on five hits and four walks while striking out four across 4.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Miller had particular trouble facing off against Alex Bregman, with the third baseman responsible for driving in three of the four runs Miller gave up in Tuesday's contest. Miller wasn't able to make it out of the fifth inning despite tossing 100 pitches (59 strikes), and through five starts he's up to a 4.21 ERA and 1.44 WHIP over 25.2 innings. He's in line to make his next start against the Marlins at home this weekend.

Miller (1-2) earned the win against the Reds on Wednesday, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out eight across five scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

Miller came out firing Wednesday, punching out six of the first eight batters faced before striking out two more in the fifth frame. It was another sharp outing for Miller, who has begun the season with a 3.43 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 21:10 K:BB across 21 innings. He'll look to make it two wins in a row in his next start, tentatively slated for next week at Fenway Park against the Red Sox.

Miller didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Rangers after allowing one run on two hits and three walks in five innings. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

Miller arguably pitched well enough to deserve a win Friday, giving up just a lone run, but the Mariners lost the lead in the sixth inning and didn't regain it until the eighth. While the right-hander holds a rocky 4.50 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 13:6 K:BB over 16 frames, he's lasted at least five innings in each of his three starts. Miller will encounter a tough setup in his next scheduled start, which is slated for the middle of next week at hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park against the Reds.

Miller (0-2) took the loss against San Francisco on Saturday, pitching 5.1 innings and allowing four runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out four batters.

EDGE Analysis

Miller wasn't sharp Saturday, as he issued four walks, threw just 53 of 93 pitches for strikes and served up four extra-base hits (all doubles). He was nonetheless able to hold the Giants to two runs through five frames, but the righty retired just one of the four batters he faced in the sixth before being pulled, and he ended up being charged for two runs in that frame. Miller has had a disappointing beginning to the campaign, posting a 5.73 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 8:5 K:BB over 11 frames to go along with his two losses.

Miller (0-1) took the loss against the Athletics on Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four batters over 5.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Miller held the Athletics scoreless through three frames before serving up a two-run homer to Shea Langeliers in the fourth. The right-handed hurler recovered to post a scoreless fifth, but he gave up another run in the sixth and was lifted with two outs in that frame. Miller tossed 90 pitches in his season debut, and he'll look for a better outcome in his second start, which is tentatively slated to take place in San Francisco next week.

Miller (finger) will start Thursday's Cactus League game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Miller missed his final start of the 2024 season due to a blister on his right index finger, but the injury didn't affect his offseason training program. He'll take the hill for his first outing of the spring and will have a firm grasp on a starting spot in a talented Seattle rotation heading into Opening Day. Over his 31 starts covering 180.1 innings this past season, Miller turned in a 2.94 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 171:45 K:BB.

The Mariners placed Miller on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to a blister on his right index finger.

EDGE Analysis

In his last appearance Monday against the Astros, Miller picked up his final win of the season as he allowed two hits and two walks while striking out five over seven scoreless innings. The 26-year-old right-hander ended the year strong with four quality starts in a row, and in 12 games after the All-Star break, he posted a 1.89 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 73:16 K:BB over 71.1 innings. Miller will finish the 2024 regular season with a 12-8 record over 31 starts with a 2.94 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 171:45 K:BB across 180.1 innings. Emerson Hancock was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move, and he will start Saturday against the Athletics.

Miller (12-8) allowed two hits and two walks while striking out five over seven scoreless innings to earn the win over the Astros on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

While Miller walked multiple batters for the fifth time in his last seven starts, that was about the only complaint anyone could register with this performance. He's rattled off four straight quality starts, though a lack of run support has caused him to win just two of those games. Miller has kept runs off the board in nine of his 31 starts this season, pitching to a 2.94 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 171:45 K:BB through 180.1 innings. He's tentatively projected to make one more start at home versus the Athletics in the regular season, though it's possible the Mariners call up a spot starter if they are officially eliminated from playoff contention before Miller's turn comes up again.
