Miley is slated to start Sunday's game against the Tigers at Comerica Park, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miley made a two-inning relief appearance in his 2025 debut with the Reds back on June 4, but he's since moved into the Cincinnati rotation while Hunter Greene recovers from a right groin strain. The veteran southpaw was credited with a win in his first start Monday in Cleveland, but he gave up three earned runs on five hits and four walks over five innings. He'll make for a risky streaming option on the road versus a Detroit offense that has produced a collective 119 wRC+ versus left-handed pitching this season.

Miley (1-0) collected the win Monday against the Guardians after giving up three runs on five hits and four walks in five innings. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
Miley was inefficient in his first start of the year, tossing just 42 of his 78 pitches for strikes, and he also generated a mere three whiffs. The 38-year-old journeyman left-hander now has a 9.00 ERA, 2.14 WHIP and 2:4 K:BB covering seven innings, but he figures to remain in Cincinnati's rotation until Hunter Greene (groin) returns from the injured list. Even so, Miley should be avoided as a fantasy streamer in most situations in his next scheduled outing against the first-place Tigers, who own an .804 OPS versus southpaws since May 1.

The Reds re-signed Miley to a one-year contract Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Miley opted out of his minor-league contract over the weekend, but he's returned to replace the injured Hunter Greene (groin) on the Reds' active roster and should slide into Greene's vacated rotation spot. The veteran left-hander missed most of 2024 following a hybrid UCL repair surgery and recently posted a 5.93 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 7:4 K:BB in 13.2 innings at Triple-A Louisville. Per Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News, Miley will be available out of the bullpen Wednesday, but he's lined up to make his first start for the Reds on Monday in Cleveland.

Miley (elbow) opted out of his minor-league contract with the Reds on Sunday and became a free agent, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miley opened the season on Triple-A Louisville's injured list while completing his recovery from the hybrid UCL repair surgery he underwent last May. After making a trio of rehab starts with High-A Dayton, Miley returned from Louisville's IL on May 15 and logged a 5.93 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 7:4 K:BB in 13.2 innings at the Triple-A level. Since a promotion to the Reds wasn't imminent, the 38-year-old lefty has chosen to explore his options on the open market and will hope to land with an organization that can present him with a clearer path to the big leagues.

Miley (elbow) allowed three runs on three hits and struck out six over 2.2 innings in a rehab start at High-A Dayton on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Miley resumed his rehab assignment after experiencing groin discomfort during an outing at the same affiliate April 27. The more substantive injury, however, is the Tommy John left elbow surgery. Miley's thrown just 5.2 innings while on rehab and is expected to make a few more appearances before he's ready to be activated.

Miley (elbow) is scheduled to resume his rehab assignment with High-A Dayton on Saturday, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Currently on Triple-A Louisville's 7-day injured list while he works his way back from the hybrid UCL surgery he underwent on his left elbow last May, Miley has already made two rehab starts with Dayton, but he didn't make it out of the first inning in his most recent outing April 27 due to a groin injury. The veteran southpaw appears to have responded well after resting up for the last week and a half and will slot back into the Dayton rotation this weekend. Miley will eventually report to Triple-A, and if he pitches well with the Reds' top affiliate, he could get a look in the big-league rotation at some point later this summer.

Reds manager Terry Francona said Monday that it was a groin injury that forced Miley (elbow) from his rehab start Sunday at High-A Dayton, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Francona added that Miley could be back on the mound this week, so it seems the setback is a minor one. Miley is on a minor-league contract with Cincinnati as he works his way back from a hybrid UCL repair on his left elbow.

Miley (elbow) departed his second rehab start with High-A Dayton in the first inning with an undisclosed injury, Kayler Smith of WDTN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miley was facing his third batter of the game when he called for the trainer after throwing a pitch before eventually walking off the mound. The 38-year-old is coming back from a hybrid UCL repair on his left elbow, although it's unclear whether he's dealing with a setback with his elbow or something else. The Reds should offer an update on Miley's status soon.

Miley (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Dayton on Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miley was cleared to pitch in an official game after getting through an extended spring training contest last week with no issues. Coming back from a hybrid UCL repair he had on his left elbow last May, Miley will eventually work his way up to Triple-A Louisville and could become an option for the Reds' rotation if he pitches well.

Miley (elbow) will throw three innings in an extended spring training game Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
If that goes well, he could be cleared to begin a formal rehab assignment. Miley is working his way back from a hybrid UCL repair he had on his left elbow last May. The lefty is on a minor-league contract but has a good chance to make starts for the Reds eventually if he shows he's healthy and pitches well.
