Miller was placed on the injured list.
MLB.com , the official Major League Baseball website, said on July 26 (Korea time), Oakland Athletics Mason Miller was listed as injured (IL).
According to MLB.com , the Oakland Athletics has put Miller on the 15-day injured list due to a fractured left-handed medulla (finger). The registration on the IL has been applied retroactively since Monday.
Miller was rather embarrassed by the injury. After winning the home game against the Houston Astros on Sunday, he got hurt when he bumped his hand to the table while preparing to exercise in the stadium training room.
Miller, a right-hander born in 1998, debuted in the big league last year and has become the closing pitcher who can secure the back door of Oakland this year. He was named an All-Star with 15 saves and 2.27 ERA in 33 games in the first half, and struck out Shohei Ohtani at the All-Star game, giving strong impression to him. Miller, a fastball pitcher, also recorded 103.6 miles per hour, the highest speed ever at an All-Star game. 토토사이트
While pitching in 40.2 innings in 34 games this season, Miller recorded one win, one loss, 15 saves and an earned run average of 2.21. According to MLB.com , Miller threw 306 fastballs with speeds of 100 mph or higher this season, which was the overwhelming No. 1 in the entire Major League. He recorded 70 strikeouts during 40.2 innings.
As his team is at the bottom of the list, Miller is drawing attention from many teams in the summer trade market. It is unlikely that Oakland will trade Miller since he debuted last year and is now in his second year in the big league. And chances are even lower that Miller will leave Oakland this summer.
