Bobby Miller Injury News & Updates

Miller will start Game 2 of the NLDS against the Diamondbacks, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Miller boasted an impressive 3.76 ERA and 1.10 WHIP with a 119:32 K:BB across the first 124.1 innings of his big-league career in 2023. He'll now be trusted in the postseason, with Clayton Kershaw set to take the ball in Game 1.

Miller did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one hit and one walk over four scoreless innings against the Giants. He struck out four.

Miller finished the regular season strong, allowing just four runs over his final three starts (17 innings) while issuing just two walks and striking out 20 in that span. The 24-year-old right-hander will wrap up his rookie campaign with an 11-4 record, 3.76 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 119 strikeouts over 22 starts (124.1 innings). Miller has established himself as a fixture in the Dodgers' rotation -- he's currently slated to make his playoff debut in Game 2 of the Divisional Series against either Arizona or Milwaukee.

Miller (11-4) picked up the win in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Rockies, giving up two runs on seven hits over seven innings in the Dodgers' 11-2 rout. He struck out nine without walking a batter.

Making his first career appearance at Coors Field, Miller was unfazed by the hitter-friendly environment and carved up Colorado's lineup, generating 31 called or swinging strikes among his 91 pitches en route to a new career high in strikeouts. Miller has delivered three quality starts in five September outings, posting a 3.58 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 36:6 K:BB through 32.2 innings on the month to close the books on a strong rookie campaign, and he figures to be a key part of the Dodgers' postseason rotation.

Miller (10-4) allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out seven over six innings to take the loss Wednesday versus the Tigers.

Miller put in a sharp performance, but the Dodgers' offense didn't give him enough run support. This was his first loss in five starts, and he's gone at least six innings in seven of his last eight appearances. Miller is at a 3.97 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 106:31 K:BB through 113.1 innings over 20 starts this season. He's lined up for a road outing in Colorado for his next start.

Miller (10-3) allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out seven over 5.2 innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Friday.

Miller came up an out short of a quality start, but was still able to earn his fourth win in his last six starts. In that span, he's given up 18 runs over 38 innings. The rookie right-hander is at a 4.02 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 99:30 K:BB through 107.1 innings through 19 starts this season. Miller's projected for a favorable home start versus the Tigers next week.

Miller came away with a no-decision Saturday in the Dodgers' 7-6 extra-innings loss to the Nationals, giving up five runs on six hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out eight.

First pitch was delayed by over four hours due to rain, and Miller ended up delivering an erratic performance once the tarp was rolled back. The rookie right-hander set a new personal best for strikeouts in a start, generating 33 called or swinging strikes on 99 pitches, but he also gave up more than four runs for the first time since June 24. Miller also served up a homer for the fourth straight outing -- a two-run shot by Lane Thomas in the seventh inning -- and over that stretch he has a 4.78 ERA and 22:6 K:BB through 26.1 innings. Miller will look to get back on track in his next start, likely to come next weekend in Seattle.

Miller (9-3) allowed a run on three hits and one walk while striking out five over seven innings to earn the win over Atlanta on Sunday.

Miller had given up four runs in back-to-back starts, but he was able to put together a dominant outing against the best team in the majors. The rookie right-hander had not pitched more than 6.1 innings in any of his outings prior to Sunday. Miller is now at a 3.80 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 84:26 K:BB through 94.2 innings over 17 starts. He's projected to make his next start on the road versus the Nationals.

Miller (8-3) allowed four runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings to earn the win Monday over the Diamondbacks.

Miller wasn't at his best, throwing 58 of 86 pitches for strikes in the outing, but the Dodgers' offense gave him enough support to get the win. The rookie right-hander received an extra day of rest between starts after throwing 97 pitches in a loss to the Guardians in his previous outing. He's still holding his own overall, ending August with 11 runs allowed (10 earned) over 28 innings. For the year, Miller's at a 4.00 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 79:25 K:BB through 87.2 innings across 16 starts. He's projected for an intimidating home start against Atlanta this weekend.

Miller will get an extra day of rest before his next start, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Miller took the loss in his start Tuesday against the Guardians, allowing four earned runs on six hits and a walk while striking out five across 6.1 frames. After the game, manager Dave Roberts said he allowed Miller to pitch deep into the game because he will have a planned extra day of rest prior to his next outing. That means he won't start during the team's weekend series in Boston, also leaving the Dodgers' starter on Sunday up in the air.

Miller (7-2) allowed a run on a hit and a walk while striking out four over six innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Brewers.

Miller allowed the first two batters in the game to reach base and gave up a run on a fielder's choice, but he retired 18 straight after finding his way in the shaky opening frame. He's up to six quality starts in 14 outings this season, pitching to a solid 3.70 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 70:22 K:BB through 75.1 innings. Miller is projected to make his next start at home versus the Marlins this weekend.

Miller allowed four hits and four walks while striking out four over six shutout innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

Miller was solid in this start after going 3.2 innings in his previous outing. The downside was that the four walks were a season high, though this was also his third scoreless outing and fifth quality start of the campaign. Miller is at a 3.89 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 66:21 K:BB through 69.1 innings over 13 starts. He appears likely to hold down the fifth start spot in the rotation going forward, with his next outing tentatively lined up to be at home versus the Brewers next week.

Miller allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits and a walk while striking out three over 3.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Friday.

Miller needed 82 pitches (49 strikes) to get 11 outs in an inefficient start. The right-hander has given up nine runs (eight earned) over 19.1 innings across his four appearances since the All-Star break. He's at a 4.26 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 62:17 K:BB through 63.1 innings across 12 starts overall. Miller is projected for a tough road start in Arizona next week, and he may be at risk of losing his place in the rotation if the Dodgers opt to put Ryan Yarbrough in his place in the coming weeks.

Miller (6-2) allowed three runs on six hits and struck out six without walking a batter over five innings, taking the loss Friday versus the Reds.

The Reds did their damage in the first inning, which included Jake Fraley tagging Miller for a two-run home run. Miller appears to be mostly back on track, having allowing seven runs over his last 15.2 innings following a rough stretch in the latter half of June. The rookie right-hander has a 4.37 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 59:16 K:BB through 59.2 innings over 11 starts this season. He's tentatively projected for a road start versus the Padres next week, though that could change if the Dodgers continue to add starting pitching ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. Miller likely has the upper hand on remaining in the rotation over Emmet Sheehan and Michael Grove, who have both struggled lately and will get one more audition each over the remainder of this weekend's series.

Miller (6-1) picked up the win in Saturday's 16-3 rout of the Rangers, giving up three runs on seven hits over six innings. He struck out six without walking a batter.

Texas actually grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first inning, but Miller and the Dodgers' offense each buckled down and got to work after that. The quality start was the first since June 10 for the rookie right-hander, but he's delivered four in his first 10 big-league outings. Miller will carry a 4.28 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 53:16 K:BB through 54.2 innings into his next start, likely to come at home next weekend against the Reds.

Miller (knee) is listed as the Dodgers' probable starter for Saturday's game against the Rangers in Arlington, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Miller experienced right knee discomfort in his most recent outing last Sunday versus the Mets, but the injury apparently won't force him to miss a turn through the rotation as he returns to the mound this weekend on five days' rest. Since opening his big-league career with a 0.78 ERA and 0.83 WHIP over his first four starts, Miller has failed to reach the sixth inning in any of his subsequent five outings while posting a 7.36 ERA and 1.52 WHIP.

Miller exited Sunday's game against the Mets due to right knee discomfort, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Miller got into a jam in the fifth inning and exited with a trainer after tossing 4.2 innings. He said after the game that he was "all good" and said that he wanted to pitch through the issue. Given his postgame comments, it seems unlikely that the right-hander will be forced to miss any turns through the rotation, but he'll presumably be monitored by the team's medical staff in the coming days. Prior to his departure, he allowed a run on three hits and a walk while striking out five.

Miller (5-1) allowed four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out seven over 5.2 innings to earn the win Wednesday over the Pirates.

All four runs against him came on home runs by Bryan Reynolds and Jack Suwinski. The Dodgers then proceeded to score six times over the fourth and fifth innings, allowing Miller to emerge with his second straight win despite not having his sharpest stuff. The right-hander has given up seven runs over 11.1 innings across his last two outings. He's at a 4.50 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 42:15 K:BB through 44 innings over eight starts. Miller has likely done well enough to stick in the Dodgers' rotation following the All-Star break.

Miller (4-1) allowed three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out four over 5.2 innings to earn the win over the Royals on Friday.

Miller came up one out short of a quality start, but this was still a vast improvement over his last two outings, in which he gave up a combined 13 runs over 9.2 innings. The rookie right-hander now has a 4.23 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 35:14 K:BB over 38.1 innings through his first seven big-league starts. He's still walking a few too many batters to be dominant, but his rotation spot is likely safe at least until Noah Syndergaard (finger) returns. Miller is projected for a home start versus the Pirates next week.

Miller allowed six runs on 10 hits and three walks while striking out three batters over four-plus innings in a no-decision against the Astros on Saturday.

Miller managed to get through four frames with only one run scored against him, but the tide turned dramatically in the fifth. In that inning, all seven Houston batters who came to the plate against him reached base, with Alex Bregman's grand slam representing the biggest -- but not the only -- blow. Miller's line could have actually been even worse, but Yency Almonte worked his way out a no-out, men-on-the-corners situation without allowing either of the inherited runners to score. Miller looked like he could be a Rookie of the Year candidate over his first four starts, during which he posted a 0.78 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 23:7 K:BB over 23 innings while picking up three wins. However, the right-hander has come back down to earth in his two starts since, allowing 13 runs on 17 hits and registering an 8:6 K:BB across 9.2 frames. J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reported prior to the contest that both Miller and fellow rookie Emmet Sheehan are expected to remain in the rotation even after Julio Urias (h

Miller (3-1) allowed seven runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out five over 5.2 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Giants.

Miller was fine until the fifth inning, and the Giants then proceeded to put it in overdrive over the fifth and sixth frames. Prior to Saturday, Miller had given up just two runs over 23 innings across four starts. The rookie right-hander's bad outing spiked his ERA up to 2.83 with a 1.01 WHIP and 28:10 K:BB through 28.2 innings. It's just a blip on the radar for now, and the hard-throwing 24-year-old will look to bounce back next week at home against the Astros.

Miller (3-0) earned the win Saturday, allowing three hits and three walks over six scoreless innings against the Phillies. He struck out seven.

Miller has been absolutely dominant since being recalled from Triple-A at the end of May. He's posted back-to-back scoreless outings with at least seven strikeouts and has given up just 12 hits and two runs across 23 innings while boasting a 23:7 K:BB during that stretch. Miller figures to continue getting opportunities while he's pitching this well, especially given the number of injuries to the Dodgers' rotation, and his next start is tentatively scheduled for the opener of a three-game weekend set versus the Giants.

Miller allowed one hit and two walks over six shutout frames in Sunday's loss to the Yankees. He struck out seven and did not factor in the decision.

Miller issued a pair of walks in the first inning but didn't allow a hit until the fifth. He forced double-digit whiffs for the first time at the MLB level, collecting 14 on Sunday, including 11 via the slider. Through three career MLB starts, he's registered a 16:4 K:BB and a 1.06 ERA in 17 frames. Miller's next start is currently lined up to be in Philadelphia.

Miller (2-0) earned the win Monday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk over six innings in a 6-1 victory over the Nationals. He struck out four.

Miller now has two consecutive quality starts to begin his big-league career. The former 29th overall pick in the 2020 draft has allowed just two runs over 11 total innings, and has a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 9:2. The right-hander is tentatively slated to face the Yankees at home in his next start.

Miller is slated to start Monday's game against the Nationals, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Miller will get another opportunity to prove he's deserving of a longer-term stay in the Los Angeles rotation after he performed well in his MLB debut in Atlanta last Tuesday, when he struck out five and gave up one run on four hits and one walk over five innings in a winning effort. With Gavin Stone surrendering seven earned runs in Sunday's loss to the Rays and now sporting a 14.40 ERA through his first three big-league starts, Miller doesn't have a high bar to clear Monday as he looks to stake a claim to a back-end rotation spot. Michael Grove (groin) appears poised to return from the 15-day injured list during the upcoming weekend, and he'll presumably replace one of Stone or Miller in the rotation.

Miller (1-0) earned the win Tuesday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk over 5 innings against Atlanta. He struck out five.

Miller made quick work of one of MLB's top offenses, striking out five with his only run allowed coming on a throwing error by Miguel Rojas in the first. Though the 24-year-old logged a 5.65 ERA in 14.1 innings at the Triple-A level, he has been heralded as one of the Dodgers' top prospects and displayed why he's earned that title Tuesday. With Julio Urias (hamstring) on the 15-day injured list it's expected Miller will stick around for at least one more turn in the rotation, which is tentatively scheduled to come during a homestand against the Nationals. Managers should be quick to snap up Miller in leagues where he's still on waivers, especially with an expected date with one of MLB"s lowest scoring offenses on deck and the possibility of earning a handful more starts if he continues to perform.

The Dodgers promoted Miller from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday for his start against Atlanta, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

The 24-year-old righty has made four starts for Oklahoma City this season, recording a 5.65 ERA and 1.21 WHIP through 14.1 innings. While his numbers might not exactly jump off the page, he's demonstrated a knack for striking out batters at a plus rate, logging a 10.1 K/9 throughout his Triple-A career.

The Dodgers will promote Miller from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start Tuesday against Atlanta, Russell Dorsey of Bally Sports reports.

The right-hander is one of Los Angeles' top prospects and will make his MLB debut this week with Julio Urias (hamstring) and Dustin May (forearm) both landing on the injured list within the past few days. Miller has a 5.65 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 12:6 K:BB across 14.1 innings at Triple-A after missing the first few weeks of the season with shoulder soreness, though he pitched well in his last start with just one run allowed and six strikeouts across six frames.

Miller (shoulder) joined up with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday and is scheduled to make his season debut there Friday, Alex Freedman of OKC Dodgers Radio reports.

Miller got off to a bit of a late start this year after developing some minor right shoulder soreness toward the end of spring training. The 24-year-old can now continue his ascent through the Dodgers' minor-league system and could very well reach the majors at some point in 2023. He struck out 145 batters in 112.1 innings last summer between Double-A and Triple-A.

Miller (shoulder) threw a simulated inning this past Saturday at the Dodgers' spring training complex in Arizona, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Miller came down with some minor shoulder soreness toward the end of camp, but he's now on a build-up program that should allow him to join up with Triple-A Oklahoma City within the next few weeks. The 23-year-old top pitching prospect seems likely to make his MLB debut at some point during the 2023 season, assuming good health.

Miller will be sidelined to start the minor-league season due to mild shoulder soreness, MLB.com reports.

Miller is in line to make his MLB debut this season if he can pitch well at Triple-A and stay healthy, but he's already dealing with a shoulder issue to start the season. After a dominant spring training on the heels of a spectacular 2022 season, Gavin Stone is looking like the more likely premium Dodgers pitching prospect to join the big-league rotation this summer.

Miller was reassigned Monday to minor-league camp by the Dodgers.

Miller is one of the top pitching prospects in the system, and does have a chance to make starts for the Dodgers in 2023. The right-hander registered a 145:37 K:BB along with a 4.25 ERA over 112.1 innings accumulated in 24 appearances -- 23 starts -- with Double-A Tulsa and Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Miller is not expected to pitch in any Cactus League games this spring, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Miller upped his workload significantly in the minors last season, so the Dodgers are slow-playing him this spring. He remains one of the team's better prospects and should push to debut at some point in 2023.

Miller took the loss for Triple-A Oklahoma City against Round Rock on Thursday, but he struck out 14 batters while allowing two runs on two hits and a walk over six innings.

Miller was electric in the outing, recording a professional career high with 14 punchouts. He finished the start with eight consecutive strikeouts but got no offensive support and was saddled with the loss. Miller has been impressive through three Triple-A appearances, posting a 3.38 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 24:3 K:BB over 18.2 innings.

The Dodgers promoted Miller from Double-A Tulsa to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, Kyle Glaser of Baseball America reports.

As he makes the jump to Triple-A, Miller will presumably take over the spot in the rotation that had belonged to the rehabbing Dustin May (elbow), who is on track to return from the 60-day injured list to rejoin the Dodgers this weekend for his 2022 MLB debut. Miller generated a 4.45 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in his 20 outings (19 starts) at Tulsa this season, but he was especially dominant over his final seven appearances with the affiliate. In 34.1 innings, he produced a 3.67 ERA and 1.08 WHIP while striking out 54 and issuing just 10 walks.

Miller gave up six runs (five earned) in just 1.1 innings in his most recent start for Double-A Tulsa, and he currently owns a 4.87 ERA and 1.27 WHIP on the season.

Miller's strikeout numbers (11.3 K/9) and FIP (3.01) look good, but his results have been mighty inconsistent. In the start before that blowup, he struck out 11 over six strong innings -- and in the start before that, he struck out just two and didn't make it out of the third inning. That start-to-start volatility hints at considerable risk for fantasy purposes, but looking at the profile more broadly, Miller's ability to miss bats and keep the ball in the yard (just seven homers in 77.2 innings) offers a lot of promise. He's also still fairly inexperienced despite being 23 years old, having only thrown 134 minor-league frames across two seasons after COVID washed out his draft season in 2020.

Miller has a 4.38 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 40:11 K:BB through nine starts (37 innings) for Double-A Tulsa.

He's suffered from some bad luck, as Miller's FIP sits at a friendlier 3.37. The 23-year-old has done a good job missing bats and keeping the ball on the ground, and he has a workhorse's build at 6-foot-5, 220 pounds. The Dodgers have been taking the training wheels off him recently, as his last two outings have been his two longest of the year (six and 5.2 innings, respectively). Having impressed in spring training and now in the minors, he's on the radar for a call-up to the big leagues, but that's still probably a little ways off, as he's not yet on the 40-man roster and the Dodgers don't currently have any rotation openings.

Miller pitched three scoreless innings in an exhibition contest against the Angels on Tuesday, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out two.

Miller set the tone for the evening when he began the game by striking out reigning AL MVP Shohei Ohtani on a 100-mph four-seam fastball. The right-handed hurler routinely touched triple-digits throughout the appearance, and he averaged 99.3 mph on his fastball overall, per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times. Miller will open the campaign with Double-A Tulsa, and he could make his big-league debut at some point this season if he continues to fare well against minor-leaguers.

Miller will begin the 2022 season with Double-A Tulsa, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Miller was dominant in High-A ball last season, posting a 1.91 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 56:11 K:BB across 47 innings. The Dodgers' top pitching prospect also saw action in three Double-A contests, registering a 14:2 K:BB and allowing five runs over 9.1 frames. With continued progress, Miller could be a big-league factor by 2023.

High-A Great Lakes placed Miller on its 7-day injured list Aug. 5 for an unspecified reason.

Over his 13 outings (10 starts) with Great Lakes, Miller submitted a 2.03 ERA and 0.88 WHIP across 44.1 innings before landing on the IL. The Dodgers haven't provided an estimate for when he might be ready to resume game action.

Miller pitched three scoreless innings in his first professional appearance with High-A Great Lakes on Tuesday, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out five.

Miller was the Dodgers' first-round pick in the 2020 draft but wasn't able to log any professional innings last season due to the cancellation of the minor-league season. The Dodgers elected to assign him to their High-A club to begin his career, and Miller thrived in his first start, striking out five over three scoreless frames. He threw 54 pitches, 36 of which were strikes.

Miller will join the Dodgers' big-league camp this spring, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Miller will get the chance to work with the team's major-league coaches for a few weeks, though he won't be joining them on a permanent basis any time soon. Last year's 29th-overall pick has yet to make his professional debut due to the canceled minor-league schedules.
