Dodgers Option Bobby Miller
6 months agoThe Los Angeles Dodgers announced on Wednesday that they optioned right-hander Bobby Miller to the minors. It's been a rough season for Miller in 2024, and the Dodgers had seen enough after he surrendered nine earned runs in four innings of work in a beatdown at the hands of the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. The 25-year-old has limped to a 1-2 record, 8.07 ERA (6.31 FIP) and 1.83 WHIP with 27 strikeouts and 18 walks in 29 innings in his seven starts for the Blue in his second season in the big leagues. Miller wasn't helped by the fact that he missed two months due to right-shoulder inflammation. It remains to be seen if the Dodgers just want to give Miller a little more rest over the All-Star break or if they want to see serious mechanical adjustments in the minors before giving him another shot at a big-league rotation spot in the second half of the season. UPDATE: Manager Dave Roberts said the plan with Miller is for him to work with director of minor-league pitching Rob Hill through the All-Star break and then make one or more starts for Triple-A Oklahoma City after the break.
