Ryan Miller: Everything you need to know

The Tigers released Miller on Monday. Miller made 13 relief appearances for the Angels in 2024 but has spent the entirety of the 2025 season at the Triple-A level after joining the Tigers over the winter on a minor-league deal. In 37 appearances for Triple-A Toledo, Miller delivered a 4.32 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 44:16 K:BB in 50 innings. He shouldn't have much difficulty securing a minor-league contract with another organization.

The Tigers reassigned Miller to minor-league camp Sunday. While with the Angels last season, Miller reached the big leagues for the first time and produced a 4.15 ERA and 1.62 WHIP in 13 innings. After being cut loose in November, Miller caught on with the Tigers on a minor-league deal and was given a chance to compete for a spot in the Opening Day bullpen, but he ultimately fell short in his battle for a roster berth. The reliever will likely open the season at Triple-A Toledo.

The Tigers signed Miller to a minor-league contract Tuesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports. Miller, who turns 29 in March, got into 13 games with the Angels in 2024, posting a 4.15 ERA and 11:8 K:BB over 13 innings. The right-handed reliever will compete for a spot in Detroit's bullpen but will likely begin the 2025 season at Triple-A Toledo.
