Apparently Wade Miller sprained his ankle last night

[jdh]

From Sporting News:

Wade Miller - P, Houston Astros
May 15, 11:18 a.m.

Miler fell on the mound in Wednesday's start, and the Houston Chronicle reported Miller suffered a sprained ankle. Miller, who slipped on first base earlier in the game, was replaced with a reliever after the sixth-inning fall.
Fantasy Spin: No word on whether Miller can make his next start Tuesday against St. Louis.
Next Start: 5/20 STL

well, thanks for posting that. I wish sportsline would have bothered mentioning that. I just quickly withdrew my trade offer for miller, seing as I've already got 3 players on the dl with 2 reserve slots...

Thanks for the heads up, jdh.

I thought I was getting a steal when I traded Hinske & Baez away for Miller in the first week of the season.

It now looks like there were no winners in that deal...

I traded Alfonseca and Lilly, two waiver wire pickups for him a couple weeks ago, with his owner being really fed up with him. I still think that he will rebound and tear it up the last 2/3 of the season. Last year, he missed 2 months but came back on fire.
