Hard-luck Indians righthander Adam Miller got a late start to this season when blisters on his pitching hand sidelined him during spring training and forced him to begin the season on the disabled list. Now, the Buffalo News reports that a broken callous on his right hand forced Miller from his start Sunday and back on to the DL.

In 28 2/3 innings with Triple-A Buffalo this season, the 23-year-old Miller has struck out 20, walked 12 and posted a 1.88 ERA. Injuries also limited Miller, the 31st overall pick out of McKinney (Texas) High in 2003, to just 65 innings last year and to just 71 innings in 2005.
