2. Miller’s Injury Woes
The Indians could always turn to reliever Andrew Miller and expect to get a couple of much needed outs, and earlier in 2018 it looked like he was ready to have another dominant season.
Then the dreaded injury bug hit the tall reliever, and he’s not been the same since. Miller was great early in the year before the injury, carrying a zero ERA in his first 11 appearances, but since May 11th he’s allowed seven earned runs in 4.2 innings of work, and hasn’t pitched since May 25th due to knee inflammation.
The team decided at that point to shut Miller down until he was ready, and were not doing to rush him back until he was as close to 100 percent as possible.
The good news, he’s closer than ever to coming back, and the team is hopeful he’ll be back to his old self upon his return.
