The status of one of Vanderbilt baseball's top relief pitchers is uncertain for opening weekend with the Commodores set to compete in the Shriner's Children's College Classic in Arlington, Texas.
When asked Feb. 11 whether left-hander Miller Green would be available for the tournament, Corbin said, "Don't know yet."
Green has been dealing with an undisclosed injury that led the Commodores to slow down his ramp-up. Two sources with knowledge of Vanderbilt's pitching plans for its scrimmages held Feb. 6-8 told The Tennessean that Green did not appear on the list of pitchers scheduled to appear. The sources were granted anonymity because the information had not been made public.
However, the issue is not expected to sideline Green long-term.
"We slowed him down at the beginning of the week, so we'll see how he unfolds the next couple of days, in terms of throwing," Corbin said. "So I think with not just Miller, but any of these guys, if there's any setback at all, then we're more precautionary than anything else. ... He'll be back."
Green, a Lipscomb Academy graduate, is one of just four left-handed pitchers on the 2026 roster. One of the other three, freshman Aiden Stillman, missed the fall and got off to a late start to his ramp-up due to an undisclosed injury. Green had a 3.80 ERA with five saves in 20 appearances a season ago. He started the 2025 season in the closer's role, but struggled midseason and lost the gig.
