"He's definitely behind. It's the type of injury where it seems wise not to push him too fast. Obviously, we won't make any decisions until we need to."
"Miller was slowed by some left side soreness about two weeks ago. An MRI revealed some inflammation and he was given a platelet-rich plasma injection. His planned bullpen session today was part of a ramp-up that could have seen him stretched out for the start of the season."
"It doesn't seem like this is a major issue but it could be an early test of Seattle's rotation depth. The Mariners have a strong starting group when everyone is healthy, as they have Logan Gilbert, George Kirby, Luis Castillo and Miller."
Bryce Miller, the Mariners' right-hander, felt soreness in his left side during a bullpen session and did not complete it, putting his season availability in question. This marks a recurrence of left side soreness from two weeks prior, which was treated with a platelet-rich plasma injection following an MRI that revealed inflammation. The Mariners are taking a cautious approach, allowing Miller to continue light activities like playing catch but halting his mound work until the soreness resolves. General manager Justin Hollander emphasized the importance of not rushing his recovery. If Miller misses time, the Mariners may rely on rotation depth options like Cooper Criswell and Emerson Hancock, though their overall rotation depth becomes questionable beyond the healthy core of Logan Gilbert, George Kirby, Luis Castillo, and Miller.
