2024 Fantasy Outlook
After taking a brief look at the free-agent landscape over the winter, Miley wound up re-signing with the Brewers on a one-year, $8.5 million contract with a $12 million mutual option for 2025. Having pitched for eight different organizations over parts of 13 major-league seasons, he's put down roots in Milwaukee and generally pitched better there than anywhere else. The veteran left-hander will likely go undrafted in most standard leagues this spring because he doesn't offer much upside in the strikeouts department, but Miley is sure to a popular streamer in favorable matchups as the 2024 campaign rolls along. He had a top-10 ERA (3.14) last year among the 102 big-league pitchers who logged more than 120 innings, and his 1.14 WHIP ranked 23rd-best among that group. Read Past Outlooks
Lands on IL
The Brewers placed Miley on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a left shoulder impingement.
ANALYSIS
Miley will be eligible to return from the IL on April 9 and appears to be trending toward a return at or around that date. According to MLB.com, Miley threw a three-inning simulated game at Citi Field on Wednesday without issue. The Brewers plan to have Miley either toss one more sim game or head out to a minor-league affiliate to make one or two rehab starts before he slots into the big-league rotation.

Good chance to stay in Milwaukee
Miley could re-sign with the Brewers soon, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The partnership between Miley and the Brewers has been a fruitful one, with the veteran left-hander posting a 2.91 ERA over 39 starts in his two stints with the Brew Crew. Miley, 37, is also close with Pat Murphy, who was recently elevated from bench coach to manager. It's not clear what the financials might be on Miley's potential deal, but it figures to be a one-year contract.

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.
