Impact Miller finds himself starting for the first time since getting scratched Friday with neck stiffness, though he did appear off the bench in Sunday's contest.

Impact Since delivering a four-hit game Wednesday against the Giants, Miller has yet to rejoin the lineup while battling neck soreness. Nick Maton will pick up another start at second base Sunday, though Miller will likely be available off the bench even as he continues to manage the injury.

Available off bench MIller (neck) remains out of the lineup Saturday against the Rockies but is expected to be available off the bench, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Miller was expected to be in Friday's lineup before being replaced by Nick Maton due to a stiff neck. Maton will make another start at the keystone Saturday, but Miller could appear as a pinch hitter.

Dealing with stiff neck Miller was scratched from the lineup for Friday's game against Colorado due to neck stiffness, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Miller was replaced by Nick Maton as the second baseman for Friday's matchup against the Rockies. It's not yet clear whether Miller will be forced to miss additional time as a result of his neck issue.

APRIL 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Late scratch Friday Miller has been scratched from the lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies for an unspecified reason, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact It's not yet clear whether Miller's removal from the lineup is due to an injury, but Nick Maton will start at second base and bat seventh Friday. Miller had started in each of the last two contests and went 5-for-9 with a home run, three runs, three RBI and two strikeouts during that time.

Collects four hits Miller went 4-for-5 with two runs scored during Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Giants.

Impact The 31-year-old had only three hits all season entering Wednesday's contest, but he pounded out four singles during the series finale. Miller should continue to see extended playing time with Jean Segura (quadriceps) landing on the 10-day injured list.

APRIL 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Hits three-run homer Miller went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's 10-7 loss to the Giants.

Impact Miller missed on a big run-scoring opportunity in the first when he grounded into a bases-loaded 4-6-3 double play to end the inning. The 31-year-old avenged himself his next time up after sending a three-run drive deep to right to put the Phillies up 4-0. The long ball was his first of the season and just his third hit overall in 14 at-bats, as he's spent the majority of the early campaign serving a bench role.

Gets first start with Philadelphia Miller (oblique) will start at first base and bat seventh Tuesday against the Mets, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact The Phillies limited Miller's exposure to defensive work late in spring training while he battled a right oblique strain, but he was able to avoid a stint on the injured list to begin the season. Though he didn't start any of Philadelphia's first four games, he received an at-bat off the bench in each contest. He'll now get the opportunity to make his first start with Philadelphia while everyday first baseman Rhys Hoskins gets a rare day off.

Back in spring lineup Miller (oblique) will serve as the Phillies' designated hitter and will bat seventh in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquire...

Impact Miller will be back in the Phillies' spring lineup for the first time since March 10 after an oblique injury kept him sidelined for nearly three weeks. Since the Phillies are breaking him back in as a DH rather than in the field, Miller may not be back to 100 percent yet, but he still seems to have a decent chance of being included on the Opening Day roster.

Could make Opening Day Miller's oblique injury is a relatively mild strain which won't necessarily rule him out for Opening Day, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Miller suffered the injury Saturday. He'll be reevaluated later in the week, at which point his timeline should become more clear. He's expected to be one of the Phillies' top bench players this season. If he's forced to miss the start of the campaign, that could be good news for one of the team's lesser utility options such as C.J. Chatham, Ronald Torreyes or Nick Maton.

Tending to oblique injury Miller could require an MRI after he was unable to play in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Tigers due to a right oblique injury, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact Miller said Sunday that the injury was something that had been bothering him throughout the spring, but it wasn't until Saturday that the pain was significant enough for him to ask out of the lineup. The Phillies plan to give him a few days of rest with the hope that's enough to resolve the issue, but if not, Miller will likely be sent in for further diagnostic tests. The 31-year-old is competing for a role this spring as a left-handed bat off the Philadelphia bench.

Dealing with rib issue Miller suffered a ribcage injury Saturday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's not yet clear how much time Miller is expected to miss, but the Phillies should have a better idea soon as he's been sent for tests. Miller signed a major-league deal in February and should fill an important role off the bench if healthy, but even a minor setback at this stage of spring could send him to the injured list to start the year.

Not starting in playoff opener Miller is out of the lineup Wednesday for Game 1 of the Cardinals' wild-card series with the Padres, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Cardinals are squaring off against a right-handed pitcher (Chris Paddack) in Game 1, so the lefty-hitting Miller's exclusion from the lineup suggests he may have lost hold of a large-side platoon role after an extended slump to finish out the regular season. While his .808 OPS over his 48 games in 2020 was solid enough, Miller faded badly after his big two-homer, seven-RBI game on Sept. 1. From thereon, Miller slashed .165/.275/.316 with three home runs, seven RBI and a 34.1 percent strikeout rate.

Sitting out vs. lefty Miller is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Miller and fellow lefty batter Matt Carpenter will take a seat Sunday, as Cardinals manager Mike Shildt goes with a lineup consisting of eight right-handed or switch-hitting players to counter southpaw Brett Anderson. Tyler O'Neill will serve as St. Louis' designated hitter in Miller's stead.
