Mason Miller Open To Returning To Rotation In Future
5 months agoOakland Athletics closer Mason Miller said he would consider returning to a starter's role in the future, per USA Today's Bob Nightengale. The 25-year-old said, "If the opportunity presents itself, maybe." The flamethrower has been fantastic for the A's in the closer's role this season, converting 15 of 17 save opportunities with a 2.27 ERA, a 0.86 WHIP, and a ridiculous 46.7% strikeout rate. While he earned his first All-Star appearance for his efforts, he did make six starts for the A's in 2023 and served as a starter in the minors but had his season cut short due to a UCL injury. Miller's fantasy value could shift slightly in the future if his role changed, but his talent is at such a high level that he could provide significant fantasy value in either role.
