Rest-of-Season Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Miller signed with the Rangers on a two-year, $10 million contract in March, and he delivered the worst season of his career with minus-1.6 bWAR. He split his playing time relatively evenly between third base, left field and designated hitter, and he finished with a .212/.270/.320 slash line in 81 games. He also spent the final month of the campaign on the injured list with a hip issue. Miller provided an above-average bat over the previous three seasons with a 114 wRC+, but his barrel rate and hard-hit rate both dropped significantly in 2022 (to 7.8 percent and 39.9 percent, respectively). Miller should open 2023 in a utility role and will likely have some opportunities to show he's turned things around, but the Rangers could cut bait if he continues to struggle at the plate, especially since he's not an asset defensively.

Goes on IL with oblique strain
Miller was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to May 31, with a right oblique strain.
ANALYSIS
Miller suffered the injury a few days ago and seems likely to miss at least a couple of weeks. Ezequiel Duran (oblique) has been activated off the IL in a corresponding move and will return to the Rangers' starting lineup Saturday versus the Mariners.

How does Brad Miller compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Miller spent the season in a utility capacity, though injuries and the Phillies lack of production at third base kept him in the lineup enough to post his highest plate appearance total since 2017. The journeyman continued to hit well with the platoon edge but struggled facing southpaws. Even so, circumstances were such he faced lefthanded pitching 21 percent of the time, just a tick below the level for a regular lefthanded batter. Miller's 20 homers marked only the second time he hit more than 13 in a season. However, he only cracked nine doubles, hinting at a few lucky homers. Miller is earmarked for another year filling in at several position. He begins the season with fantasy eligibility at first base and outfield but is likely to add more infield spots as the year unfolds. Contact has always been an issue, but Miller's above average exit velocity on fly balls fuels a sustainably high HR/FB mark.
