Orioles' Wade Miley: Activated ahead of Sunday start

Miley (illness) was activated from the 10-day disabled list and will start Sunday's game against the Yankees, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Coming out of spring training, the Orioles placed Miley on the DL with an upper-respiratory infection, but that was likely just a means to create roster flexibility with the team not requiring a fifth starter until Sunday. Miley was able to toss a simulated game a few days earlier to stay fresh during his time on the DL, so he shouldn't face any limitations with his pitch count Sunday. That being said, Miley won't represent a roster-worthy option outside of deep mixed and AL-only formats after churning out a career-worst 5.37 ERA over 166 innings with the Mariners and Orioles a season ago.
