Mariners' Bryce Miller: Weekend return possible

Miller (elbow) said he "feel[s] good" after Monday's bullpen session and could return from the 15-day injured list to rejoin the Seattle rotation as soon as this weekend against the Twins, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

The organization hasn't officially decided the next step in Miller's rehab program, but he's already thrown a two-inning simulated game and may not require a minor-league rehab assignment before being activated. The right-hander landed on the shelf May 14 due to elbow inflammation, which is an issue he had been battling throughout the season. In an attempt to curb further issues, Miller is expected to operate on a six-day pitching schedule moving forward.
