Miley fell to 2-1 after he surrendered four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings in Sunday's 6-3 loss to Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

According to Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer, Miley was ejected after complaining from the dugout about a strike call on teammate Jesse Winker, but the southpaw's day was already done at that point. After shutting out the opposition over his first 11 innings of the season, Miley's scoreless streak was snapped when Jose Ramirez took him deep for a two-out, solo home run in the top of the first inning. Miley would later serve up another three-run bomb in the fourth inning, which was all the offensive support Cleveland ace Shane Bieber would need to lead his side to the victory column.

Miley (2-0) continued his dominant form in Monday's 3-0 win over the Giants, as he didn't allow a run through five innings and struck out three while only allowing two hits and a walk.

EDGE Analysis

Miley has yet to top 80 pitches in either of his first two starts of the season, as manager David Bell seems to be taking a cautious approach with the 34-year-old after he's been limited to just six starts over the last two years due to various injuries. Miley has been smooth through his first two starts, allowing no runs on just four hits while sporting a 9:2 K:BB across 11 innings. He typically doesn't rely on strikeouts to get through his outings and has found success in the past by inducing soft contact. Miley's next scheduled to go head-to-head with one of the game's best in the Indians' Shane Bieber on Sunday.

Miley (1-0) cruised against the Pirates on Tuesday, throwing six scoreless innings while striking out six, giving up two hits and one walk to pick up the win in a 14-1 rout.

EDGE Analysis

The Reds' bats exploded in support of Miley on Tuesday, making this a chance for an easy win, which he capably converted. He'll get his next turn in the rotation Monday against the Giants.

Miley threw 65 pitches and four simulated innings in a live batting practice session to stay on schedule for his turn in the rotation Tuesday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miley is locked into a Reds rotation slot to begin the season, so long as he stays healthy - he had a scare with a hamstring cramp earlier in March and missed time with multiple injuries last season. The Reds don't plan on going with a four-man rotation in April even though they have four off-days early on, so Miley should get his regular turn this month.

Miley (hamstring) threw 35 pitches in a bullpen session Sunday and will start Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miley left his previous start with a left hamstring injury, but he said he wasn't concerned and that his removal was purely precautionary. That optimism seems accurate, as he'll remain on schedule Tuesday and should be set to take his place near the back of the Opening Day rotation.

Miley isn't concerned about the hamstring issue that caused him to be pulled Thursday against the White Sox, calling his removal purely precautionary, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miley had already gotten in his intended number of pitchers, so he doesn't think the injury will affect his spring buildup in any meaningful way. Players are typically on the optimistic side regarding their own health, but if Miley is able to take his next turn on the mound then there likely won't be any reason to fear for his readiness for Opening Day.

Miley was pulled from Thursday's spring training contest with a hamstring injury, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miley was seen pointing to his left leg while meeting with trainers as he was being pulled from the game. The severity of the injury remains unknown and it could affect his ability to ramp up in time for his first few turns through the rotation in the regular season.

Miley exited Thursday's spring training game with an apparent left leg injury, Charlie Goldsmith of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miley was seen pointing to his left leg upon exiting the game. He exited the ballpark with a trainer, but was walking under his own strength without a limp. Miley was seemingly locked into a rotation role, though it's unclear if the injury will affect his status for his first turn through the rotation in the regular season.

When describing the Reds rotation in advance of spring training, Reds GM Nick Krall considered Miley the fourth starter, with there being a competition between Michael Lorenzen, Tejay Antone, Jose De Leon and Jeff Hoffman for the fifth starter's job, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. "Right now, Luis (Castillo), Sonny (Gray) and Tyler Mahle are probably the first three starters," Krall said. "And then you've got Wade Miley, who has been a starter his whole career."

EDGE Analysis

Miley might have a head start over those other starters, and that he hasn't been a reliever much in his career probably helps, but he'll have to perform right away to hold them off. He's coming off of a season ruined by multiple injuries.

Miley (shoulder) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Miley spent nearly a month on the injured list with a left shoulder strain, but he'll be available out of the bullpen for the final few games of the regular season. The southpaw worked out of the rotation prior to the injury, posting a 6.57 ERA and 1.78 WHIP over 12.1 innings across four starts this year.
