CLEVELAND– Indians reliever Andrew Miller threw a mound session on Wednesday prior to Cleveland’s final game in a three-game series against the Cincinnati Reds.
Miller threw 39 pitches total, manager Terry Francona said pregame, taking a short break after his first 20 pitches and then throwing his final 19. Saturday will be the next time the lefty throws.
“I think every time he throws, he takes a step in the right direction,” Francona said of Miller’s progress. “He’s getting to the point where he’s ready to face hitters. And we’re trying to figure out– because he does not like facing his own hitters.
