The Cubs outrighted Miller to Triple-A Iowa on Monday.

3w agoRotowire

Miller was booted off the 40-man roster Friday, and after going unclaimed on waivers, he'll stay in the organization and report to Iowa. He's slashed .299/.352/.459 with seven home runs and 10 stolen bases over 96 games this season at Triple-A.

The Cubs designated Miller for assignment Friday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

The move corresponds with the Cubs activating Daniel Palencia from the 60-day injured list. Miller's lone appearance in the majors came Monday against the White Sox, when he was brought in as a defensive substitute. He may stay within the Cubs' organization in Triple-A Iowa if he clears waivers.

The Cubs selected Miller's contract from Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Aug 17Rotowire

Miller inked a minor-league deal with the Cubs in early February and has spent the entire season in Triple-A, where he has a strong slash line of .299/.352/.459 with 10 steals (in 16 attempts), seven home runs and 57 RBI across 403 plate appearances. He figures to serve in a utility role in the Cubs' infield in the absence of Dansby Swanson (oblique), the latter of whom was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday.

The Cubs signed Miller to a minor-league contract Tuesday.

Feb 4Rotowire

Miller spent most of 2025 at Triple-A Albuquerque in the Rockies organization, slashing .277/.329/.429 with 11 homers and 13 steals. The 29-year-old is a career .238/.287/.342 hitter across parts of five big-league seasons but offers positional versatility with the ability to handle every spot on the diamond other than pitcher and catcher.

Miller signed a minor-league contract with the Rockies on Wednesday.

5/29/25Rotowire

After testing his value in the open market, Miller will return to the Rockies on a minor-league deal after being DFA'd by the club May 16. The 28-year-old owns a .694 OPS through 90 plate appearances at Triple-A Albuquerque, but the current state of the Rockies' offense leaves the door open for Miller to return to Colorado at some point.
