Phillies Prospect Aidan Miller Set for Back Procedure

Phillies top prospect Aidan Miller is set to undergo a minimally invasive spinal procedure this Friday to relieve chronic back pain that’s sidelined him all season. Diagnosed with discogenic pain and facet inflammation, the radiofrequency ablation aims to provide relief for up to a year. Miller, a first-round draft pick, hasn’t swung a bat without pain since February, and while the team hopes he can still play this season, recovery will take six to eight weeks—likely pushing his return past the All-Star break. He’ll begin rehab in Clearwater, Florida, after a week of rest, as the Phillies prioritize his long-term health over immediate performance.
