Tyson Miller's return to the Chicago Cubs couldn't have gone better
Originally drafted in the fourth round by the Cubs in 2016, Tyson Miller bounced around the league, pitching at the MLB level with Milwaukee, Seattle, Texas, Los Angeles and New York before returning to Chicago in mid-May after getting off to a strong start again out of the Mariners bullpen.
Only Hector Neris and Drew Smyly have appeared in more games than Miller for the Cubs this season, which, given he joined the team a month-and-a-half into the season, tells you just how trusted the 29-year-old has become with Counsell.
In those 44 appearances, the side-arming right-hander carries a minuscule 2.18 ERA and 0.860 WHIP, neutralizing left and right-handed hitters alike all season long. With runners in scoring position, he's limited opponents to a sub-.200 batting average and he's excelled when it comes to limiting self-inflicted damage.
Miller is a lock to return to the Cubs bullpen in 2025 where, hopefully, he'll continue his resurgence and handle high-pressure innings for a team with postseason aspirations.
