Aidan Miller Recovers Pain-Free in AFL Ahead of Potential 2027 Phillies Debut

Philadelphia Phillies prospect Aidan Miller is making up for lost time in the Arizona Fall League after a severe back injury sidelined him for most of 2026. Following a partial June procedure and a new TB12-inspired routine, the 22-year-old shortstop claims he is completely pain-free. Through 12 AFL games, Miller is batting .359 with an 1.154 OPS, six extra-base hits, and six stolen bases, putting him back in contention for an MLB roster spot in 2027.
