Miller authored a 1.71 ERA with 0.91 WHIP and 42 strikeouts over 36 appearances for the Los Angeles Dodgers last season. The 42 innings he logged marked the highest total since 2019 for the often-injured former starter.
The 33-year-old owns a 4.08 ERA with 7.5 K/9 over 11 years in the majors with the St. Louis Cardinals, Atlanta Braves, Arizona Diamondbacks, Texas Rangers, Chicago Cubs, Pittsburgh Pirates, San Francisco Giants, and Dodgers.
