Making his first Major League start since June 6, Mariners’ pitcher Bryce Miller made his first start since June 6 in a 6-4 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies.

As expected, the Mariners activated pitcher Bryce Miller ahead of his start tonight in Philly. As a surprise, they also reshuffled their bullpen, moving two of the lower-leverage arms back to Tacoma and recalling Sauryn Lao.

The Mariners are activating starter Bryce Miller from the injured list tomorrow, manager Dan Wilson tells reporters (including MLB.com’s Daniel Kramer). He’ll go opposite NL Cy Young candidate Cristopher Sanchez in the second game of their series against the Phillies.
