Philadelphia Phillies shortstop prospect Aidan Miller has faced significant setbacks due to a lumbar spine injury involving discogenic pain and facet inflammation. The condition required medical procedures and an extended recovery period, delaying his progress toward a major league debut.

Following extensive therapy and medical consultations, Miller is scheduled to begin a rehabilitation assignment with the Low-A Clearwater Threshers. The plan involves playing five innings at shortstop, marking his first game action of the 2026 season since being sidelined in September 2025. Depending on his progress, the organization is considering further assignments with the Triple-A Lehigh Valley team and potentially the Arizona Fall League.
