2023 Fantasy Outlook
Miley's debut was delayed a month with elbow inflammation. He managed three starts before returning to the IL with a shoulder issue. Mikey returned for one start in June before heading back to the IL with more shoulder woes. This time, Miley was put on the 60-day IL until early September. He made five starts down the stretch but ended the season with an oblique issue. Between IL stints, Miley mustered only 37 innings in eight starts and one relief appearance. His numbers resembled those of his renaissance 2021 campaign, so there is feint hope he can be a fantasy asset heading into his 36-year-old season. The key is a groundball rate nestled around 50% for the past few seasons, helping Miley keep the ball in the yard. It has to be in a streaming capacity to protect a low 17.6% strikeout rate. The veteran lefty rejoined the Brewers on a minor-league deal, and manager Craig Counsell's propensity to utilize a six-man rotation during busy parts of the schedule could give Miley a better chance of staying healthy.

Begins mound work
Miley (lat/rib) threw a bullpen session Thursday without issue, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Miley was diagnosed in mid-May with a posterior serratus strain near the left side of his rib cage and given a 6-to-8 week timetable, but the veteran southpaw told reporters Friday that he believes it will wind up being just a four-week overall IL stay. That would put him on track to return to the Brewers' rotation around the middle of June. He had pitched to a 3.67 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 24:9 K:BB across 41.2 innings (eight starts) prior to the injury.

Miley started out the 2021 season on fire with a 2.79 ERA and 1.17 WHIP through the first half. He then struggled in the second half for the Reds, but there wasn't one single event to cause the decline. He missed time due to foot and neck injuries. Additionally, his decline began around the same time the foreign substance ban went into effect. While his second-half 4.19 ERA wasn't a killer, his lack of strikeouts (6.6 K/9) and high WHIP (1.56) dragged down his value. He's now with the Cubs and likely to start the season in their rotation. As the lefty enters his mid-30's, there is little chance for any upside. Instead, consider Miley a streaming option.
