Wade Miley, a lefty for the Milwaukee Brewers who inked a contract extension this summer, said he is no longer concerned about his shoulder soreness after throwing a 25-pitch bullpen on Friday. It is still unclear if he will be available on Opening Day.
Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Wade Miley believes that his shoulder soreness from early in camp is no longer an issue.
According to Brewers social media reporter Curtis Hogg:
Wade Miley pitched a bullpen today with 25 pitches. said that he felt well after the game, that he is not worried about the injury, and that he is now only concerned with whether he can get well enough to be ready for opening day in three weeks.
Miley, who signed a contract extension with Milwaukee this offseason, will play a crucial role in the Brewers rotation, which has seen a lot of change recently. Corbin Burnes, a previous Cy Young champion, was dealt by the franchise to the Baltimore Orioles. In addition to Adrian Houser being traded to the New York Mets, Brandon Woodruff is anticipated to miss the whole season due to an injury. In addition, Eric Lauer, a depth starter, just inked a contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Miley had a 3.14 ERA in 2023 and went 9-4. He contributed to the Brewers winning the National League Central championship and made 23 starts. Unfortunately, the Arizona Diamondbacks, who went on to win the World Series, swept them in the wild card round.
He will be joining the Brewers, Diamondbacks, Red Sox, Mariners, Orioles, Astros, Reds, and Cubs for his fourteenth season in the major leagues. He is 108-98 with a 4.06 ERA in his career. Miley’s career has also been largely resilient. In 2023, he made 23 starts; in 2021, he made 28. In the 2019 pre-pandemic season, he also scored 33.
