2026 Fantasy Outlook
The Padres once again made the biggest splash on the relief market at the 2025 trade deadline, acquiring Miller from the Athletics. The 27-year-old brought closing experience with him to San Diego, but he recorded only two of the team's 13 saves over the final two months of the season with Robert Suarez anchoring the club in that role. With Suarez recently opting out of his contract to become a free-agent, Miller is the natural choice to slide into San Diego's closer role. However, the Padres aren't ruling out giving him an opportunity to start, particularly if they lose both Dylan Cease and Michael King in free agency. Miller has been a full-time reliever the last two seasons and has been arguably the best bullpen arm in the game during that span, collecting a 2.56 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 43.1 percent strikeout rate over 126.2 innings. Last year, his slider limited opposing hitters to a league-best .108 BAA and 54.6 percent whiff rate for that pitch type. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, $4 million contract with the Padres in January of 2026.
Strikes out two in 23rd save
Miller earned a save against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday, striking out two batters in a perfect inning.
Analysis
Miller had a three-run cushion to work with when he entered in the ninth, and he mowed down a trio of Arizona batters on 14 pitches. The All-Star closer finished his outing with consecutive punchouts, marking the 24th time through 36 appearances that he's fanned multiple hitters. Miller has been arguably MLB's most dominant closer so far this season -- he ranks third in the league with 23 saves (without any blown saves) and holds a microscopic 0.96 ERA and 0.80 WHIP along with a dominant 69:13 K:BB across 37.2 frames.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
Miller made six starts in 2023, but durability issues raised questions about his role entering the 2024 campaign. However, an outstanding spring of one-inning appearances carved a logical path for the 25-year-old to become the Athletics closer. The right-hander tallied the A's first save of the season and never looked back, averaging 100.9 mph on his 4-seamer while blowing away opposing hitters at a league-leading 41.8 percent clip. Miller also led qualified relievers with a remarkable 33.3 K-BB percentage. Perhaps most importantly, the hurler remained healthy for the most part, only missing a few weeks on the IL with a fractured pinkie on his non-throwing hand. The injury risk remains, but Athletics general manager David Forst recently indicated that the team is not considering moving Miller back into a starting role. His upside warrants a pick as a top-7 closer for 2025 drafts.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Earns award once again
Miller has been named the National League Reliever of the Month for May, according to Theo DeRosa of MLB.com.
Analysis
Miller also won the honor in September last year and March/April 2026, so he's earned this award for a third consecutive time. That's for good reason, though, since the star closer didn't allow a single earned run across nine appearances and 9.2 innings in May while posting an impressive 18.6 K/9. On the season, Miller has gone 17-for-17 in save chances while sporting a 0.72 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 49 strikeouts in 25 innings.
