Milner will be part of the Angels' 60-man roster.

EDGE Analysis

Milner, who is not on the 40-man roster, received an invite to spring training this season prior to the shutdown. He appeared in just four games at the major-league level last season, but posted a 3.06 ERA with 12 saves in 50 appearances with Triple-A Durham. The lefty appears in line for a spot at the back end of the bullpen should summer camp go well.

Milner (neck) tossed an inning in relief in the Angels' Cactus League opener Sunday against the Rangers. He was charged with three runs on two hits and a walk in his spring debut.

EDGE Analysis

Milner entered the contest in the fifth and surrendered a game-tying home run to Eric Stamets, but he was able to scoop up the win when Los Angeles reclaimed the lead on Michael Hermosillo's RBI single in the bottom of the inning. While he was a member of the Rays organization last season, Milner was shut down in early September with a cervical nerve injury, but his ability to pitch in the Angels' spring opener suggests he's back to full health. The non-roster invitee will be battling for a spot in Los Angeles' Opening Day bullpen throughout camp.

Milner (neck) signed a minor-league contract which includes an invitation to spring training with Los Angeles on Monday, Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Milner was shut down near the end of last season due to a neck injury, but he's expected to compete for a spot in the bullpen during spring training. He appeared in just four games for the Rays in 2019, allowing three runs on four hits while fanning three over 3.2 innings of work.

Milner (neck) was outrighted off the Rays' 40-man roster and elected to become a free agent, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Milner joined the team as a September callup, but he made just four appearances before being shut down with a cervical nerve injury. Over 61.2 innings with Triple-A Durham in 2019, the 28-year-old recorded a 3.06 ERA with an 89:13 K:BB.

Milner landed on the 60-day injured list with a cervical nerve injury Wednesday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move rules Milner out for the season. He'll end the year with a 7.36 ERA in 3.2 big-league innings, the exact same figure he recorded over 7.1 innings last season. Johnny Davis' contract was selected in a corresponding move.

Milner was sent to St. Petersburg to see a specialist after experiencing neck and back discomfort, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unknown as to when this issue popped up for Milner, but he's unlikely to be available to pitch for at least the next few days. Per Topkin, the discomfort has continued to get worse over the last few days.

Milner was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Sunday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old southpaw made one appearance with the Rays back on Aug. 20, allowing an earned run on two hits and a walk over two innings against the Mariners. He also recorded 12 saves while generating an elite 89:13 K:BB over 61.2 innings with the Bulls, and he's expected to see plenty of opportunities in same-handed matchups down the stretch as the only other lefty in the bullpen besides Colin Poche.

The Rays optioned Milner to Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Milner's stay with the big club lasted just two days, with the lefty reliever making one two-inning appearance for Tampa Bay. The Rays will replace Milner in the bullpen with right-hander Aaron Slegers, who was called up from Durham in a corresponding move.

Milner had his contract selected from Triple-A Durham on Monday night, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Milner has fared well at Triple-A this season, posting a 3.32 ERA and 1.02 WHIP with an 83:13 K:BB over 57 innings out of the bullpen. He'll take the spot of Brendan McKay, who was optioned to Durham following Monday's matchup with Seattle.

Milner was reassigned to minor-league camp Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Milner enjoyed a solid spring training with a 3.48 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 12:0 K:BB across 10.1 innings, but wasn't able to earn a spot on the 53-man roster. The 28-year-old will begin the season at Triple-A Durham but may make his way to the majors if/when the Rays are forced to shuffle their bullpen arms.
