The Chicago Cubs have made a very surprising move on Thursday afternoon which has some fans scratching their heads.<\/p>\n

As first reported by Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times, the Cubs activated right-handed reliever Tyson Miller off the 60-day injured list and subsequently designated him for assignment.<\/p>\n

Miller had began a minor league rehab assignment and actually was posting solid numbers for Triple-A Iowa this year with a 2.77 ERA over 13 innings pitched, making the move all the more difficult to explain.<\/p>\n

Realistically, Chicago likely did not feel there was a spot for him right now in the bullpen, and with the 29-year-old out of options, they were left with no choice but to DFA him.<\/p>\n

After the Cubs acquired Miller in a trade from the Seattle Mariners early on in the 2024 season, he responded with the best campaign of his career.<\/p>\n

Pitching to an ERA of 2.15 in 49 appearances for Chicago, he was arguably the team’s most consistent reliever.<\/p>\n

It’s unfortunate they are not able to find a spot for him since he finally appears healthy after a hip issue costed him a massive chunk of the first half.<\/p>\n

He is now likely to be traded or claimed in the coming days.<\/p>\n

As the Cubs bullpen starts to somewhat find its groove, someone like Miller was going to have a tough time cracking his way back into the innings distribution.<\/p>\n

Fans in Chicago are certainly going to keep a close eye on wherever he ends up going.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
