CLEARWATER, Fla. — Phillies prospect Aidan Miller’s bothersome back issue is still preventing him from ramping up for the season.
Dave Dombrowski, Philadelphia’s president of baseball operations, issued the latest update on the former first-round draft pick on Sunday at BayCare Ballpark, saying that Miller does not have a timeline to return to baseball activities.
“He continues to work out. Not much baseball,” Dombrowski said. “He’s running, jogging, doing those types of things. A very slow progress — purposely. We’re doing that with him.”
Miller, 21, will not appear in a Grapefruit League game this spring after being invited to big-league camp as a non-roster invitee.
