BREAKING NEWS: Bryce Miller Offers Encouraging Update After First Start Back from IL, Despite Bizarre Interruption
Seattle Mariners pitcher Bryce Miller made a successful return to the mound on Sunday, June 1, 2025, after an 18-day stint on the injured list due to a bone spur in his elbow. In his first start back, Miller pitched four innings, throwing approximately 70–75 pitches as planned by manager Dan Wilson. He struck out Byron Buxton to start the game and retired the side efficiently in the first inning. However, he encountered challenges in the second inning, allowing a two-run homer following a walk to Carlos Correa. Miller acknowledged areas for improvement, particularly in controlling his splitter and slider
Adding to the unusual circumstances, a mechanical fire in a stadium elevator caused a brief 10-minute delay during the game. Miller noted that the interruption affected his rhythm, emphasizing the importance of keeping his elbow warm to prevent stiffness. Despite these setbacks, Miller expressed optimism about his performance and is focused on rebuilding confidence and consistency.
The Mariners secured a 2–1 victory over the Minnesota Twins in the game, with rookie Cole Young delivering a walk-off single in the 11th inning to clinch the win. Cal Raleigh and J.P. Crawford contributed key hits, and reliever Collin Snider earned the win with two scoreless innings. Miller’s return is a positive sign for the Mariners’ rotation, which is bolstered by the return of fellow pitchers George Kirby and Logan Gilbert from injury. Miller remains hopeful for a stronger rotation and reduced strain on individual starters moving forward.
