Overview
- Miley, 38, triggered the June 1 opt-out in his minor league contract after not reaching the majors for Cincinnati this season.
- He posted a 1-2 record with an 8.84 ERA over seven starts at Triple-A Louisville while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery.
- Manager Terry Francona said the Reds had no rotation slot for Miley and chose not to move him into the bullpen.
- Cincinnati’s rotation depth remains strained by injuries to Carson Spiers and prospect Rhett Lowder.
- A 14-year veteran with a career 4.07 ERA, Miley could return to the Reds on a new minor league deal if he doesn’t secure a big league contract.
