Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said the team hopes to “continue to grow” Spencer Miles’ workload in 2027.

Atkins would not commit to Miles being a member of the rotation or bullpen, but it’s noteworthy that he mentioned growing Miles’ workload after the 26-year-old pitched 95 2/3 innings this season. It would seem that the only real way to grow that workload would be a move to the rotation. Miles posted a 2.73 ERA and 1.10 WHIP across his innings this season, but that came with just a nine percent swinging strike rate and a 17.6 percent strikeout-minus-walk ratio. He has a four-pitch mix that would work in the rotation, but his strikeout rate was much higher against righties, so he may need to tweak some of his approach if he’s going to be a meaningful fantasy starter.
