MRI clean on elbow Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said Tuesday that an MRI on Miller's right elbow came back clean, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Miller felt discomfort in his throwing elbow following his last turn in Oakland's rotation Sunday against the Royals, but there is no structural damage in the joint and he is expected to try a side session Friday. He seems likely to miss his next start, but the current belief is that the talented 24-year-old will be able to avoid the injured list. He's pitched to an impressive 3.38 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 22:7 K:BB through his first 21.1 major-league innings.

Dealing with elbow tightness Miller is headed back to the Bay Area to be evaluated after feeling tightness in his right elbow following Sunday's start against the Royals, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said the initial suspicion is Miller is dealing with a flexor muscle issue and that "we're hoping for the best." A stint on the injured list, and in all likelihood a lengthy one, seems likely, but more will be known once Miller is examined. The right-hander has posted a 3.38 ERA and 22:7 K:BB over 21.1 frames covering his first four major-league-starts. Miller has already more than doubled his innings total as a pro this season, having missed ample time due to injury.

Handed loss No. 2 Miller (0-2) allowed two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five over six innings in a loss to the Royals.

Impact Miller gave up a solo home run to Salvador Perez in the opening frame and the Royals got to him again in the fourth off a couple base hits. His teammates were only able to put up one run, leaving Miller still winless after his first four starts of his major league career. The 24-year-old owns a 3.38 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 22:7 K:BB over 21.1 innings. He'll be tasked with his toughest test thus far in a projected matchup with the Rangers later in the week.

Dominant in no-decision Miller threw seven no-hit innings, walking four and striking out six in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Tuesday.

Impact Miller threw just 54 of 100 pitches for strikes, but limiting the Mariners to only walks made this a strong outing. He left with a 1-0 lead, but Richard Lovelady was tagged for two runs in the eighth inning. Miller displayed better control in his first two major-league starts, but Tuesday's sharp start lowered his ERA to 3.52 with a 0.98 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB through 15.1 innings. He's projected to make his next start on the road versus the Royals this weekend, which figures to be a favorable matchup.

Can't overcome early deficit Miller (0-1) took the loss Tuesday against the Angels, allowing four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out six over four innings.

Impact All the damage against Miller came in the first inning, after he allowed four hits and a walk, which would plate four runs for the Halos. The 24-year-old settled in thereafter, giving up just one more hit over his next three frames. Miller has been hit hard in first two major-league outings, but he's displayed control with his pitches and is proving he's got major strikeout upside. He sits at a 6.48 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and an 11:2 K:BB over 8.1 innings and tentatively lines up to face the Mariners next week.

Impact The much-anticipated major-league debut of the hard-throwing right-hander went very well from an individual standpoint, even as the Athletics suffered a 12-2 loss that was mostly the fault of the bullpen. Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports Miller threw his trademark four-seam fastball on 53 of his 81 pitches, generating 27 swings and six whiffs in the process. Miller's heater also averaged a blistering 99.3 mph, maxing out at 102.5 mph and registering at 100 mph or higher a whopping 15 times. The highly encouraging outing against a hot lineup -- which included a second inning during which he struck out Cody Bellinger, Edwin Rios and Patrick Wisdom -- is one of the few reasons for optimism thus far in what appears to be another forgettable season for the rebuilding Athletics. Miller's opportunity to put together an even better encore is slated to come early next week against another talented lineup in that of the Angels.

Impact He'll make his major-league debut Wednesday against the Cubs and will have a "soft cap" of around 80 pitches, manager Mark Kotsay told Jessica Kleinschmidt of The Comeback reports. Miller boasts a 19:0 K:BB over 8.2 innings for Las Vegas and Double-A Midland between his first two minor-league starts this season.
