Miley (shoulder) threw in a simulated game Saturday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miley has missed over three weeks with a shoulder strain. If his shoulder checks out fine following Saturday's session, he's expected to be activated soon, though he'll likely appear out of the bullpen given that he hasn't built his workload back up yet.

Miley (shoulder) has no specific return date after feeling soreness Thursday following a side throwing session, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Time is starting to run out on the season, but to that point, manager David Bell still expects Miley to pitch again this year. "Just some continued muscle soreness," Bell said. "Nothing overly concerning or anything that's going to knock him out for the year or anything like that. But we did need to back him off on his throwing, and really no timetable to get him back into the game, unfortunately."

Miley (shoulder) was sorer than anticipated following Wednesday's side session and isn't expected to return over the weekend, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Initial reports from Miley's throwing session were positive, but he's facing a delay in his return after feeling some soreness Thursday. Manager David Bell said that he doesn't expect him back over the weekend following his step back in his recovery. A timetable for his return hasn't yet been established.

Miley (shoulder) threw a side session Wednesday that went well, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miley has been working his way back from a left shoulder strain that has kept him sidelined since Aug. 28. He threw a simulated game Friday, and manager David Bell said that he should return to the team soon following his successful side session. It's unclear when he'll take the mound for the Reds, but the southpaw's return appears to be imminent.

Miley (shoulder) will pitch a simulated game Friday at the Reds' alternate training facility at Prasco, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager David Bell suggested that Miley could rejoin the Reds on their current road trip, but didn't specify exactly when. That could become pertinent with Sonny Gray's next start getting pushed back.

Miley was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left shoulder strain, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran southpaw delivered four scoreless innings on 64 pitches Thursday against the Brewers, and apparently the shortness of the outing was related to the injury. Miley doesn't have an official timeline for his return, but he'll be eligible to be activated Sept. 8. It's his second stint on the injured list this season, as he previously missed time with a groin injury.

Miley didn't factor into the decision in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Brewers. He tossed four scoreless innings, allowing one hit and one walk while fanning three.

EDGE Analysis

Miley had dropped his previous three appearances, so posting a scoreless outing should be a huge confidence booster for him. This was also his first scoreless outing of the season in four games.

Miley (0-3) gave up three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out three in five innings in a loss to the Cardinals on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Miley gave up a two-run single to Tommy Edman in the third inning and a solo shot to Harrison Bader in the fifth to account for the offense against him. Saturday was the first time this season that Miley has pitched past the second inning. He's got a 9.72 ERA, 2.40 WHIP and eight strikeouts in 8.1 innings. The 33-year-old lefty will continue searching for his first win when he faces the Cubs on Friday.

Miley (undisclosed) is expected to start Saturday in St. Louis, John Fay of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miley suffered a groin injury early in the season and appeared to suffer some sort of injury in his return from the injured list back on Aug. 12, as he seemed in some discomfort while covering first base in the second inning and exited shortly after. He's been able to have some extra rest due to a positive COVID-19 test cancelling a few games for the Reds, as his next start will come 10 days after his previous outing.

Miley allowed one run on two hits and two walks over 1.2 innings in a loss to the Royals on Wednesday. He struck out two batters.

EDGE Analysis

As Mark Sheldon of MLB.com noted, Miley looked like he may have hurt himself covering first base on a groundout in the second inning. The lefty stayed in the game initially, but walked the next batter and was then lifted at 44 pitches. Miley was just making his return from a groin injury. Tyler Mahle endured some struggles of his own in relief of Miley on Wednesday, but Mahle pitched well as a starter during Miley's absence and it would be an easy switch for the Reds to make in their rotation, whether it be for performance or health reasons.
