This isn’t good.
Cincinnati Reds Manager Terry Francona on Elly De La Cruz’s Grand Slam in Win against Pirates
Wade Miley, the Cincinnati Reds’ starting pitcher, was making his second minor league rehab start for the Dayton Dragons on Sunday when he left with an injury after only 10 pitches.
The Reds signed the veteran in late January. Miley’s last Major League pitch came on April 16, 2024, for the Milwaukee Brewers.
When the Reds signed Miley, Nick Krall, President of Baseball Operations, told him that they wanted to ensure he completed his full rehab.
“He and I talked before we signed him,” Krall explained during a spring training broadcast. “We stated that we will ensure that you complete the entire rehab program. We’re not cutting it short. You are 38 years old. I want you to go out there and flourish, not return to the major leagues and get wounded again.”
The Reds will hope Miley’s ailment is mild and unconnected to his Tommy John surgery from last season, but the early signs do not look promising.
