Impact Miller allowed two runs on a season-high four hits before striking out Amed Rosario with two runners in scoring position to end the game. Consider it an off night, as the 26-year-old entered Tuesday's appearance having fired 12.1 consecutive scoreless frames and has now converted 10 straight save attempts. On the season, he owns a 2.12 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 122:33 K:BB across 51 innings.

Hits 20-save mark Miller picked up the save Thursday against Tampa Bay, allowing one hit with two strikeouts across a scoreless ninth inning.

Impact The uber-talented 25-year-old became the 17th closer to reach 20 saves and extended his scoreless inning streak to 11 frames. Miller has appeared in 41 games this season, tallying a 1.85 ERA and an 81:17 K:BB across 48.2 innings.

Notches 19th save Miller earned a save over the Rays on Monday, issuing one walk and striking out one batter in one scoreless inning.

Impact Miller had a three-run lead to work with in the ninth frame and protected it with relative ease, allowing just one baserunner on a two-out walk. The right-hander has converted each of his past seven save chances, registering a 23:5 K:BB and allowing only two runs over 16 innings during that span. Miller has blossomed in his first campaign as a closer, going 19-for-21 in save opportunities overall and posting a 1.89 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 79:17 K:BB across 47.2 frames.

Locks down six-out save Miller earned the save in Thursday's 7-6 win over the Mets, allowing one walk while striking out three over two scoreless innings.

Impact Miller made quick work of the Mets in the eighth inning, setting them down in order while striking out a pair. Miller would return for the ninth where he'd face a bit more trouble, hitting Tyrone Taylor with a pitch before issuing a two-out walk to Jose Iglesias. However, he'd induce a flyout off the bat of Francisco Alvarez, stranding the tying and go-ahead runs on board, to seal the one-run A's victory. The 25-year-old Miller hasn't allowed a hit in four appearances (five innings) since returning from the IL. He's converted 18 of 20 save chances while posting a 1.97 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 114:32 K:BB across 79 innings this season.

Impact Activated off the injured list Wednesday morning, Miller (finger) needed just 13 pitches to notch his first save since July 10. With the trade deadline in the rearview, Miller should have little competition for saves the rest of the way. The 25-year-old is in the midst of a breakout season, posting a robust 2.16 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 70:14 K:BB across 41.2 innings, going 16-for-18 in save opportunities.

Activation coming Wednesday A's manager Mark Kotsay said Miller (finger) is scheduled to be reinstated from the 15-day injured list Wednesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact The right-hander landed on the shelf just after the All-Star break due to a fractured pinkie finger on his left hand, but he's ready to rejoin the active roster after being sidelined for the 15-day minimum. Miller has a 2.21 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 70:14 K:BB across 40.2 innings this season and should immediately reclaim the closer role from Tyler Ferguson.

Faces hitters Miller (finger) threw a live bullpen session Monday, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Miller is dealing with a fractured finger on his non-throwing hand and continued to throw bullpen sessions while he had a cast on.

The standout 25-year-old becomes eligible to return Friday, though it's unclear if he'll need to miss additional time.

Sheds cast Miller (finger) played catch Saturday without his cast, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Miller has been throwing bullpen sessions while wearing a cast on his non-throwing hand, though Saturday marks the first time he's done any sort of throwing without a cast. The 25-year-old is slated to pitch a simulated game Monday, which will help the A's determine how far away he is from returning to their bullpen.

Throws bullpen session Miller (finger) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Miller's fractured finger is on his left (non-throwing) hand, so he will likely continue to throw bullpen sessions while his finger heals to keep his arm active. It remains unclear how long it will be until he's able to ditch the cast on his hand, but general manager David Forst said he's hopeful the right-hander will be able to return to the Athletics' bullpen quickly once the cast is removed.
