The Marlins reassigned Miller to minor-league camp Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
The 27-year-old outfielder received a brief taste of the big leagues in 2021, but he spent the entire 2022 campaign at Triple-A Jacksonville and looks set for a return trip to the affiliate to begin the 2023 season. Miller's assignment to minor-league camp comes after he slashed .235/.381/.294 with one stolen base across 16 Grapefruit League games.

Marlins' Brian Miller: Rejoins big-league club
Rotowire
Miller was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.
Miller had a two-game stint with the Marlins earlier this season, and he'll rejoin the major-league club for the final weekend of the season. The 26-year-old should be in the mix to start since Jesus Sanchez (hamstring) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move. Miller had a strong finish to the Triple-A campaign with .326/.384/.382 slash line and seven stolen bases in September.

Marlins' Brian Miller: Called up for MLB debut
Rotowire
Miller will make his MLB debut Friday against the Yankees, batting eighth and playing left field, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Miller earns a spot on the big-league roster despite his mediocre .253/.313/.329 line in 68 games for Triple-A Jacksonville this season. He does have 22 steals over that stretch, which could give him some fantasy value if he winds up starting regularly.

Marlins' Brian Miller: Earns invite to big-league camp
Rotowire
Miller was invited to the Marlins' major-league camp Tuesday, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.
Miller isn't expected to break camp with the Marlins, as the 23-year-old has yet to appear above Double-A. Across stops at both High-A Jupiter and Double-A Jacksonville in 2018, Miller hit a combined .295/.338/.355 with 40 stolen bases in 128 games.

Marlins' Brian Miller: Promoted to Double-A
Rotowire
Miller was called up to Double-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.
The 36th-overall pick in the 2017 draft, Miller has shown everything except power in his first two partial seasons in the minors. In 57 games for Low-A Greensboro last season, the outfielder hit .322/.384/.416 with 21 steals. He posted very similar numbers in 62 games for High-A Jupiter this season, hitting .324/.358/.398 with 19 stolen bases. He'll look to continue that success at the Double-A level.

Marlins' Brian Miller: Bangs out six hits in Tuesday's doubleheader
Rotowire
Miller went 6-for-8 with two runs scored, two RBI and two stolen bases across both games of High-A Jupiter's doubleheader against Palm Beach on Tuesday.
All six hits were singles, but power has been the only thing lacking in Miller's profile to begin 2018. The 22-year-old now sports a .360/.392/.400 slash line through 17 games for Jupiter with a 4:6 BB:K and seven steals in eight attempts. Given his age, Miller could get a promotion to Double-A over the summer if he keeps raking, and it remains to be seen whether his skill set will translate to the upper levels of the minor leagues -- much less the majors. Still, his prospect status is trending up, and he could yet have a future as a leadoff man and defensively sound center fielder in the majors.

Marlins' Brian Miller: Quick start to 2018 season
Rotowire
Miller went 4-for-5 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI for High-A Jupiter in Sunday's win over Palm Beach.
The 22-year-old has hit safely in all four games for Jupiter to begin the season, compiling a .412/.444/.471 slash line. Miller has yet to steal a base after swiping 21 in 57 games at Low-A Greensboro in 2017, but the 36th overall pick in last year's draft still projects as a classic leadoff hitter in the big leagues. Given his age, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Marlins challenge Miller with an assignment to Double-A over the summer if he continues banging out hits in the Florida State League.
