Timeline Revealed For Injured Seattle Mariners Starting Pitcher Bryce Miller
In this story:
The Seattle Mariners' injury concerns to their starting rotation continued Tuesday. Bryce Miller, who has dealt with right elbow discomfort and inflammation the entire season was placed on the injured list for the second time Tuesday (retroactive to June 7).
Miller was placed on the injured list from May 14 (retroactive to May 12) with the same injury and wasn't activated until May 31. He made two starts after his first activation before landing on the shelf again.
Miller's inflammation has been in part to a bone spur, which would keep him out for the rest of the season if operated on. Miller received a cortisone shot before he was on the injured list for the first time.
According to a report on "X" from Seattle Times reporter Tim Booth, Seattle will have Miller receive a PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injection from Dr. Keith Meister, who has operated on several Mariners pitchers.
The third-year pitcher will be shut down from throwing for two weeks and could be activated in 4-6 weeks if "all goes well," according to Booth's post.
