During their series with the Pirates, the Cubs announced the latest update on Shelby Miller.
He has not pitched in a game this season.
MLB.com wrote (on July 26): “Underwent surgery to repair a torn right UCL and flexor tendon last October. Has resumed a throwing program in Arizona. Threw a bullpen on July 25. Signed a two-year deal with Chicago on Feb. 15 with an eye toward contributing in 2027.”
Looking At Miller

Miller is coming off a season where he appeared in 48 games for the Arizona Diamondbacks and Milwaukee Brewers.
He went 4-3 with a 2.74 ERA.
Over the offseason, Miller signed a deal with the Cubs.
He had been with the franchise during the 2021 season.
Jesse Rogers of ESPN had written (on February 13): “The Cubs agreement with righty Shelby Miller guarantees him at least $2.5 million over 2 years, sources tell ESPN. Deal has been in place for a while. Chi has so many free agent pitchers, this locks an arm in for 2027. He’ll miss ’26 with TJ.”
