Cleveland, OH (My Sportsbook) - Cleveland Indians pitching prospect Adam Miller underwent reconstructive surgery Tuesday on his right middle finger. It was the first of a multi-stage reconstruction that is expected to keep the right-hander off the mound until next season. Miller had the flexor pulley system in his finger repaired Tuesday. His next procedure, a repair of the flexor tendon, won't take place for about three months. Recovery and rehab from the surgeries will likely take six to nine months. The 24-year-old Miller was selected by the Indians with the 31st pick of the 2003 draft. He made just six minor league starts in 2008 before undergoing surgery on the same finger. After a 15-win season at Double-A Akron in 2006, Miller first had a ligament strain in his right middle finger during the 2007 campaign at Triple-A. |
