The Yankees have outrighted Jim Miller to Triple-A, the team announced. The right-handed reliever was designated for assignment earlier this week to clear room on the 40-man roster for Ichiro Suzuki.
Miller, 30, was claimed off waivers from the Athletics late last month. He pitched to a 2.59 ERA (4.74 FIP) in 48.2 innings for Oakland last year and owns a 2.42 ERA (4.42 FIP) with big strikeout (8.10 K/9 and 20.4 K%) and walk (5.12 BB/9 and 12.9 BB%) rates in 63.1 career big league innings.
