CLEVELAND (AP) The Cleveland Indians have placed valuable reliever Andrew Miller on the disabled list with a left shoulder impingement.
This is the former All-Star’s third trip to the DL this season. He was previously sidelined with a hamstring issue and inflammation in his right knee.
The AL Central-leading Indians described Miller’s issue as an ”external impingement” in his shoulder. Miller is 2-3 with a 3.38 ERA in just 27 games this season.
One of baseball’s best relievers when healthy, Miller has made 10 appearances since coming off the disabled list on Aug. 3.
The Indians are hoping they can count on using Miller in the postseason. They rode him hard in the 2016 playoffs when he helped get them to the World Series.
In case Miller isn’t available, the Indians acquired closer Brad Hand and right-hander Adam Cimber before the trade deadline.
Tyler Olson was recalled from Triple-A Columbus.
