In 2017, Miller spent the season with the South Bend Cubs, pitching to a 6-7 record and a 4.48 ERA in 28 games (twenty starts), and 2018 with the Myrtle Beach Pelicans,[11] going 9-9 with a 3.54 ERA in 23 starts.[12]

In 2019, Miller started the season with the Tennessee Smokies[13] and was promoted to the Iowa Cubs in July.[14] Over 26 starts between both teams, Miller went 7-8 with a 4.35 ERA, striking out 123 over ​136 2⁄3 innings. Following the season, he was added to Chicago's 40–man roster.[15]
