Cubs Sign Shelby Miller to Two-Year Deal Amid TJ Recovery

The Chicago Cubs have signed right-hander Shelby Miller to a two-year deal with a team option for 2028. Miller is not expected to pitch in 2026 as he recovers from his second Tommy John surgery, making this a move to secure a reliever for 2027. The reported $2.5 million deal led to infielder Ben Cowles being designated for assignment to create a 40-man roster spot.
