Yanks' Miller OK'd to pitch despite break in wrist

MIAMI -- New York Yankees left-hander Andrew Miller has been cleared to pitch with a broken bone in his non-pitching wrist by a specialist Friday morning, according to a report by the YES Network.

As Miller indicated Thursday, his pain threshold will dictate how far he can go.

Dr. Patrick Owens, who examined Jason Pierre-Paul last summer after the New York Giants star injured his hand in a fireworks accident, told Miller that his injury would heal on its own and should not affect his ability to pitch, according to the YES Network.
