Cleveland Indians prospect Adam Miller will have his right middle finger examined by a doctor on Monday and manager Eric Wedge said the right-hander won’t break camp with the team.

It’s another setback for Miller, whose development has been delayed by one injury after another. Despite an overpowering fastball when healthy, Cleveland’s first-round draft pick in 2003 has never pitched in the majors.

“We’re going to get a good look at him Monday and Tuesday just to find out if and how serious it is,” Wedge said. “It is kind of a funky thing. We are not sure what it is right now. It is disappointing to everybody, especially Adam.”

Miller was supposed to play catch Sunday, but rested instead.

“There’s no pain, no swelling, but I can’t bend the tip of the finger and it just doesn’t feel normal,” said Miller, who came to spring training seeking a spot in the bullpen.

Miller had missed 10 days of throwing with soreness in the finger before playing catch from 75 feet on Friday.

“Everything was OK then, until I felt just a little something on my last toss,” he said. “So I’m going to see a physician in Scottsdale and then my surgeon from Baltimore will be here Tuesday.”
