Miller started for Game 1 of the AL Championship Series, pitching a stellar six innings, only giving up one run in the first inning. He'll be coming off a three-day rest.

Wilson also disclosed that All-Star pitcher Bryan Woo would be returning to action on Friday, coming off a pectoral injury he sustained during a start against the Houston Astros on Sep. 19.

Woo will be coming out of the bullpen for Game 5 of the ALCS, nearly a month after leaving the Houston game early. He was previously left off the ALDS roster versus the Detroit Tigers, where the Mariners took the series 3-2.

Luis Castillo will start for the Mariners in Game 4, after George Kirby was lit up by the Blue Jays in Game 3. Logan Gilbert started for Game 2, pitching just three innings.

Game 5 of the ALCS is set for Friday at 3:08 p.m. PT in T-Mobile Park.
