Brad Miller - Page 12 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Receives starting nod at third base Miller will start at third base for the Cardinals in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the White Sox, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Miller will get the nod at third base after sitting the first game of the doubleheader. It will be the 2020 debut for the 30-year-old utility man who could play an important role for the Cardinals as a flexible field player off the bench. Miller slashed .260/.329/.565 across 170 plate appearances in 2019.

Impact Miller's return from an ankle injury couldn't have come at a better time, as the Cardinals will be fielding a makeshift roster for the time being. The veteran brings a level of versatility ideally suited for such an unprecedented situation, as he's played every non-pitching position except catcher during his seven big-league seasons and even has 34 games of DH experience from his time in the AL with the Mariners, Rays and Indians. The current personnel shortfall for the Cardinals could equate to Miller enjoying frequent playing time in the short term.

Unlikely to be ready by Opening Day Miller (heel/ankle) is unlikely to be on the Cardinals' Opening Day roster, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Miller was unavailable for much of camp due to heel and ankle soreness. While he's been back on the field for a week, it doesn't appear as though he's had enough time to get up to speed by the start of the regular season, which begins Friday against the Pirates. It doesn't sound as if he'll be out for long, and he'll likely be primarily a bench player this season, so his brief absence shouldn't be a significant one for the Cardinals.

Sits out Saturday Miller remained out of Saturday's summer camp workouts due to heel soreness, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Impact The veteran first sat Friday with the issue, and manager Mike Shildt opted to play it safe with Miller a day later. Shildt added that Miller is projected to sit out Sunday as well prior to the Cardinals' scheduled day off Monday in order to afford him plenty of time off his feet.

Dealing with heel issue Manager Mike Shildt revealed Friday that Miller is dealing with a heel injury that isn't believed to be serious, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Impact Miller was held out of the Cardinals' intrasquad games over the past several days, and manager Mike Shildt revealed the reason Friday. Although the exact nature of the injury is unknown, the utility player isn't expected to miss more than a couple of days as a result. Miller should serve as major-league depth for several positions during the shortened 2020 season.

Could spend time at DH Miller has the most designated hitter experience on the Cardinals roster and could therefore be a candidate to frequently fill that slot if universally instituted for the 2020 seas...

Impact Miller has spent at least part of all seven major-league seasons in the AL, and he boasts a .578 slugging percentage and .888 OPS across 107 career plate appearances at DH. Those numbers are partly comprised of 16 extra-base hits (seven doubles, nine home runs), so the veteran, who's also capable of filling in at multiple positions in the field, has a track record of success when only focusing on hitting. Miler has had access to a private gym while remaining in his Orlando home during the shutdown and has also relied on agent Mike Milchin, a former Cardinals' second-round pick in his playing days, for batting practice sessions.
