Indians' Andrew Miller: Will return to set-up role

Miller will return to a setup role this season as Cody Allen remains the closer, Chris Assenheimer of the Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Analysis:

Miller served well in a setup role last season as part of a deadly combination with Allen. Acquired from the Yankees at the trade deadline, the tall left-hander posted a 1.55 ERA and a 0.55 WHIP over 26 games, helping Cleveland capture the AL pennant. Miller's numbers will obviously make him a top reliever in some formats, but it's unlikely he will be able to rack up saves on a consistent basis.
