Erik Miller - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Acquired by Boston Boston acquired Miller from the Giants on Monday in exchange for Marcelo Meyer, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Miller will make his way to Boston in the midst of the most dominant stretch of his career. Dating back to June 12, the 28-year-old has recorded 14 straight scoreless outings. In 38 appearances this season, the left-hander owns a 2.76 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 45:22 K:BB through 32.2 innings. With Aroldis Chapman already cemented as Boston's closer, Miller will likely transition into a high-leverage set-up role with his new team.

Gaining trust as closer Miller notched a save against the Padres on Thursday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter over one scoreless inning.

Impact Miller got the call from the bullpen in the ninth frame with San Francisco up three runs. He yielded a two-out single but then slammed the door shut by inducing a Xander Bogaerts flyout. Miller picked up his second save in the past four days after going without a save in each of his prior 24 appearances. The left-hander is on a 13-outing scoreless streak and has posted an 18:5 K:BB across 12.2 innings during that span, which may have earned him the Giants' top closer role. His primary competition, Caleb Kilian, pitched a scoreless seventh inning Thursday and recorded a hold, but he's surrendered five earned runs over 8.1 frames in July.

Tallies third save Miller picked up the save in Monday's 3-0 win over the Brewers. He struck out two over a perfect inning.

Impact Miller had no trouble finishing off the Brewers in the ninth inning, retiring the side in order to secure the victory. Monday marked the southpaw's third save of the season and first since April 26. On the year, he owns a 2.87 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 44:22 K:BB across 31.1 innings. While save opportunities may be infrequent for the lowly Giants, Miller and Caleb Kilian appear to be manager Tony Vitello's top two options in the ninth inning.

Earns hold Sunday Miller picked up a hold in Sunday's 8-5 win over the White Sox, striking out one in a scoreless inning.

Impact Miller entered in the eighth inning and threw seven of his 11 pitches for strikes, earning his sixth hold on the campaign. The left-hander has recorded three straight scoreless outings since surrendering two runs in his return from a back strain May 16. He now owns a 3.77 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 21:12 K:BB across 14.1 innings in 16 games this season.

Sloppy outing in return Miller allowed two runs on two walks and struck out one over two-thirds of an inning in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Athletics.

Impact Miller got the nod for a high-leverage spot in relief of starter Trevor McDonald in the seventh inning. He did fine there, but he struggled when staying on to begin the eighth. He walked two batters, and Caleb Kilian allowed both of them to score when he allowed a home run to Brent Rooker. Miller missed a minimal amount of time due to a back strain and appears set to compete for late-inning work with Kilian in the near term. Over 13 appearances this season, Miller has a 4.50 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 18:8 K:BB across 12 innings.

Activated from IL The Giants reinstated Miller (back) from the injured list Saturday.

Impact Miller will return to the Giants' bullpen after making just two rehab appearances in the minors, during which he gave up two hits and struck out three batters over two innings. The 28-year-old southpaw owns a 3.18 ERA and 1.24 WHIP through 11.1 innings in the big leagues this year and is likely to compete with Caleb Kilian for saves immediately after returning from the IL. Tristan Beck was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

The southpaw will make his return to the major-league roster after the minimum 15 days on the injured list, and he'll immediately be back in the mix for save chances with San Francisco.
