Mariners' Miller Reveals Lat Issue Amid Eight-Game Losing Streak

Bryce Miller acknowledged he has been pitching through a lat injury since late July, a stretch in which Seattle has lost all eight of his starts and he has posted a 7.19 ERA. The team has a recurring pattern of players downplaying injuries and struggling for extended periods, including Cal Raleigh and Rob Refsnyder. The organization faces a growing need to better manage player availability rather than relying on grit.
