In this story:

The Cincinnati Reds made a sneaky good addition that could have a strong impact on the pitching staff in the second half of the season.

The Reds signed left-handed pitcher Wade Miley to a minor league contract. Miley is working his way back from Tommy John’s surgery and is expected to be ready sometime toward the end of May.

He has spent the last three seasons with the Cubs and Brewers dealing with a myriad of injuries. At the very least he can provide a veteran influence for a young pitching staff. More than likely, we will see him for 8 to 10 starts this season.

Since making 28 starts for the Reds in 2021, Miley has made a total of 33 starts in the last three seasons.
