Indians Place Andrew Miller On 10-Day DL

By Jeff Todd | August 2, 2017 at 2:46pm CDT

The Indians have placed star reliever Andrew Miller on the 10-day with right knee patella tendinitis, MLB.com’s Jordan Bastian tweets and the club has announced. Righty Adam Plutko was recalled to take his spot on the active roster.

Miller, 32, has been as nasty as ever this year, with a 1.67 ERA and 13.0 K/9 against 2.5 BB/9. But as Bastian goes on to note, he has not been quite as sharp as usual of late — relative, at least, to his usually otherworldly efforts.

Going without the outstanding Miller for any stretch would hurt Cleveland as it tries to hold off the Royals in the AL Central. But it’s especially harmful since the team just lost fellow southpaw Boone Logan to an injury. Perhaps the Indians will find some added motivation to look at lefties over the month of August, though Tyler Olson has looked good early on.

Cleveland also revealed that righty Josh Tomlin will likely miss about six weeks of action after suffering a left hamstring strain, as Bastian further tweets. That’s not a huge concern now that Danny Salazar is back, but does reduce the team’s depth in the rotation.

    So they went from a deadly lefty bullpen duo to two minor leaguers.

      Looking like they should have made a more tantalizing offer for Britton.

        Would’ve could’ve should’ve didn’t, asking price was ridiculous and Britton’s got his own issues. Unlike you not everybody has perfect vision, except yours is hindsight.

      10 day DL is hardly a death sentence, it’s more like a break. Season is very long if you haven’t noticed. Plus, the Indians plan on making a play off run, why wouldn’t they keep him?

        WRONG. Look at what happened to Volquez. They thought it was an unrelated injury and he’s out for two years now. Odds are the same will happen to Miller.

    Should have traded for Brad Hand, who is clearly better than Miller and deserved at least a Top 3, Top 5, and two Top 10 Prospects.

          Take Kansas City for example. Would you deal hand for those 4 ranked prospects? I would pass on their 1-2-3, let alone those.

      You’re suggesting the Padres should have received more for Hand than Oakland did for two-plus years of Sonny Gray? And that Hand is better than Miller? I disagree with both suppositions.

      I think they called him up to soak up some innings since the bullpen has been overworked lately, but I was expecting it to be Merritt since he’s also a lefty

    Jeez, there’s a ton of over reacting here. It’s not a major injury first of all. Give him some much needed rest to get him to full health for the stretch run. The team as a whole should probably be coming around health wise in the next few weeks and as long as the Indians can win that weak division, they should be in great shape going into October.

      The reason for the over reacting is the timing of the injury. If Miller would have gone down a week ago you know they would have done more to get someone. I was not impressed with Logan this year and wanted a trade for a lefty before the deadline just for this reason. Luckily KC has cooled off too but just look at the schedule this month and you will see the problem. They play the Yankees, Boston, KC, Tampa Bay, Twins and Rockies this month. All of those team are condending teams except maybe the twins if they don’t improve quick. Over the same period KC plays Seattle, St Louis, White sox and Oakland, which are all either last place or way out of contention plus Tampa Bay and Colorado like Cleveland do.

      That stretch of games without your best relief pitcher and by the end of the month they might not be the sure thing for the division anymore.

    Miller gets to cool down and rest a bit instead of pitching through it, compensating and then causing arm problems.
