The 32-year-old left-hander was dominant in his rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Columbus, striking out two of the three batters he faced with 10 of his 12 pitches registered as strikes.

Miller owns a 4-3 record with a 1.67 ERA and 78 strikeouts in 54 innings this season.

He has issued 10 free passes in his last 19 games (22 2/3 innings), a total that eclipses the nine walks he had during the 2016 season (74 1/3 innings).
