Contract selected by Pirates Miller's contract was selected from Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday.

Impact Miller made three relief appearances for the Cubs in April and allowed seven runs in two innings. He's performed better in the minors with a 2.96 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in 24.1 innings across 13 appearances (four starts), and he'll pitch exclusively out of the bullpen for the Pirates, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.

To be called up by Pirates Miller's contract will be selected by the Pirates prior to Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Miller has struggled at the major-league level for several years now, as he owns a 7.15 ERA in 185 innings since the start of the 2016 season. He gave up seven runs on seven hits and five walks in just two innings of work for the Cubs earlier this season, but he's pitched well in 24.1 Triple-A innings this season, posting a 2.96 ERA and a 37.8 percent strikeout rate.

Lands minor-league deal Miller signed a minor-league contract with the Pirates on Saturday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Miller was released by the Cubs at the beginning of June after he was designated for assignment, and he'll now report to Triple-A Indianapolis once he clears COVID-19 protocols. The right-hander made three starts for Triple-A Iowa this year and posted a 1.74 ERA and 0.99 WHIP in 10.1 innings.

Cut loose by Cubs The Cubs released Miller on Monday.

Impact Miller presumably requested his release after he cleared waivers when the Cubs designated him for assignment last week. The 30-year-old right-hander shined during his three-start rehab assignment for Triple-A Iowa earlier this month, accruing a 1.74 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB in 10.1 innings. He shouldn't have much trouble landing a minor-league deal with another organization.

Designated for assignment The Cubs activated Miller from the 10-day injured list Wednesday and designated him for assignment, Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Despite having pitched only two innings this season, Miller and his astronomical 31.50 ERA no longer have a place on the Cubs' pitching staff, which has improved significantly since Miller landed on the injured list April 23. The righty has not pitched well the past three seasons, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see a pitching-needy team add him to provide innings out of the bullpen.

Dominant in rehab outing Miller (back) struck out five over three shutout innings Sunday in a rehab assignment at Triple-A Iowa. He allowed one baserunner on a walk in the 47-pitch appearance in what was u...

Impact Before he was placed on the 10-day injured list in late April with a back strain, Miller hadn't pitched more than an inning in any of his three appearances out of the Chicago bullpen. The fact that the Cubs were seemingly willing to turn Miller loose without restriction in his first rehab outing suggests he won't be in line for an extended stay in the minors. He'll likely get a few days to rest up from Sunday's outing before the Cubs decide whether to bring him back from the IL ahead of next weekend's series in Detroit.

Lands on injured list Miller was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a strain in his lower back, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact The 30-year-old surrendered seven runs over two innings since having his contract selected by the Cubs last week, and he's now sidelined by a back strain. Miller will be sidelined for at least 10 days, though it's unclear if he'll face a longer absence. Kyle Ryan was recalled from the alternate site in a corresponding move.

Knocked around in 2021 debut Miller allowed four earned runs on two hits and three walks without recording an out in Wednesday's loss to the Brewers.

Impact After having his contract selected by the Cubs earlier in the day, this certainly wasn't the season debut Miller was hoping for. Adbert Alzolay was optioned to the team's alternate site to make room, but he should return over the weekend, which could bump Miller from the roster once again.
