Miller (wrist) was medically cleared to pitch through his injury Friday, The New York Daily News reports.

Analysis:

According to the report, Miller met with Dr. Patrick Owens on Friday, who said that the lefty reliever will be fine to pitch as long as his pain tolerance holds up. Miller suffered a chipped bone in his wrist on a comebacker Wednesday, but it fortunately occurred on his glove hand. With Aroldis Chapman suspended for the first 30 games of the season, look for Miller to serve as the Yankees' interim closer.
