Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Bobby Miller has been optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday. The 25-year-old has been awful this season, but the Dodgers decided to give him another chance against the Miami Marlins on Tuesday. That didn't go well as Miller gave up four runs over two innings of work in the loss. The right-hander has allowed 17 earned runs this month and increased his ERA to 8.52 after his latest outing. In a corresponding move, right-hander Joe Kelly has been activated from the 15-day injured list. He figures to resume his role as a late-inning reliever.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Bobby Miller (knee) said he's been dealing with a left-knee issue, which is what he tweaked in the second inning of his outing on Thursday night against the Baltimore Orioles at Dodger Stadium. Miller said he can manage his left knee the rest of the year. Despite battling a knee ailment, the 25-year-old made it through five innings in his start on Thursday against the O's and actually picked up just his second win of the year, allowing three earned runs on two hits (one homer) while walking three and striking out three. The former 29th overall pick in 2020 out of Louisville was demoted to the minors earlier this year after struggling in LA's starting rotation and he hasn't been much better since his return on Aug. 17, allowing 10 earned runs while walking four and fanning 13 in 15 2/3 innings over three starts. Rolling with an injured Miller down the stretch will be dicey for fantasy managers.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Bobby Miller is expected to rejoin the big league roster on Saturday, according to manager Dave Roberts. The 26-year-old was optioned to the minors about a month ago to work on his mechanics but he was also dealing with a groin issue. The plan is for Tyler Glasnow to take the mound for Saturday's game. Roberts said that Miller could pitch out of the bullpen. He continued by saying anything is on the table for how Miller could be used. Miller was already barely an option in fantasy leagues, but a move to the pen would basically give him no value.

The 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.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that right-hander Bobby Miller won't start on regular rest (four days off) this Sunday for the series finale against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers. It remains to be seen if the Dodgers will treat Sunday as a full bullpen game or if they'll use Ryan Yarbrough or Nick Ramirez in bulk-relief roles, or go with a spot start from someone at Triple-A Oklahoma City. Even though the 25-year-old allowed only two earned runs in five innings in his last start on Tuesday against the division-rival Diamondbacks, he's had a tough go of it in his sophomore season in the majors and has also missed considerable time due to injury. Miller is currently 1-1 with a 6.12 ERA and 1.60 WHIP with a 22.9% strikeout rate in just six starts. In three starts since coming off the injured list, he has a 6.75 ERA and 1.73 WHIP with seven K's and nine walks.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Bobby Miller (shoulder) completed his second minor-league rehab outing on Saturday, June 1, with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga, where he logged 3 1/3 innings with five hits, one free pass, and four earned runs. Miller logged 65 total pitches but did see a drop in velocity. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has yet to show any concern about the drop in velocity, as it does not appear to be related to his shoulder inflammation. The 25-year-old is scheduled to start another rehab game on Friday, this time with Triple-A Oklahoma City, and he could rejoin the major-league rotation shortly after that. Miller has high-end fantasy upside with the Dodgers and should be stashed everywhere while he recovers.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Bobby Miller (shoulder) allowed four runs on five hits and one walk while striking out none over 3 1/3 innings in his rehab start with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga. He threw 65 pitches, landing 38 pitches for strikes. According to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, Miller experienced a little velocity drop in his rehab start but doesn't believe the dip was caused by any kind of physical setback. The 25-year-old allowed three runs on 55 pitches in his previous rehab appearances. Miller has been out since April 13 due to right shoulder inflammation. He owns a 5.40 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, and 18:6 K: BB across 11 2/3 innings in 2024. Miller could be required to do one more rehab assignment before joining the Dodgers rotation. Fantasy managers should continue to stash Miller on their rosters as the right-hander could return from the injured list soon.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Bobby Miller's (shoulder) next minor-league rehab start will come either on Friday or Saturday. Miller will throw four innings during that outing, and then the Dodgers will evaluate where he's at his in his recovery from inflammation in his right shoulder. After throwing 55 pitches and allowing three runs over three innings in his first rehab start with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Sunday, Miller will likely need at least one more outing in the minors following this weekend's appearance before he re-enters LA's rotation. Although the 25-year-old fire-balling right-hander has given up seven runs over 11 2/3 innings this season, his 18:6 K:BB and top-notch strikeout upside makes him a must-stash fantasy asset with a mid-June return appearing likely. 2023 top prospect Gavin Stone will remain worth streaming in favorable matchups until Miller is back in the mix.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Bobby Miller (shoulder) threw a three-inning simulated game consisting of 51 pitches on Tuesday. Manager Dave Roberts said that next up for Miller will be a minor-league rehab game with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Sunday. Because Miller has been out since April 13 with right-shoulder inflammation, fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to return to LA's starting rotation after just one rehab start. However, the 25-year-old is getting much closer to making his return and should be stashed in an IL spot in all fantasy leagues because of his high-end upside on one of the best teams in baseball. The former 29th overall pick in 2020 out of Louisville went 11-4 with an ERA under 4.00 and 119 K's in 124 1/3 innings in his first 22 MLB starts for the Blue in 2023.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Bobby Miller (shoulder) will pitch in another simulated game on Tuesday at Dodger Stadium. Miller threw two simulated innings last Wednesday, and the hope is that a brief minor-league rehab assignment is the next step following Tuesday's session. The 25-year-old flame-throwing right-hander is working his way back from inflammation in his right shoulder, and despite giving up seven runs over 11 2/3 innings before the injury this season, his 18:6 K:BB and elite strikeout upside make him a must-stash fantasy asset with a late-May or early-June return being the expectation. In Miller's absence, former top prospect Gavin Stone is worth streaming in all leagues with a respectable 3.27 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, and 29 punchouts with four wins through 44 innings (eight starts).

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Bobby Miller (shoulder) will throw two simulated innings at Camelback Ranch in Arizona on Wednesday, manager Dave Roberts said. While Miller's next step in his throwing program has not yet been determined as he recovers from inflammation in his right shoulder, it will either be a three-inning sim game or a minor-league rehab assignment. The 25-year-old flame-throwing right-hander remains on track to rejoin LA's rotation sometime in late May or early June, barring any setbacks. Former top prospect Gavin Stone should get another couple of turns in the Dodgers' rotation until Miller is back in the fold, and he's worth streaming in all fantasy leagues with a solid 3.55 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and 27 strikeouts with three wins through 38 innings (seven starts) this season.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Bobby Miller (shoulder) threw a bullpen session on Monday. "Velocity was good. He'll throw another one. ... From everything I've seen (a rehab assignment) is coming pretty quickly, which is really encouraging," manager Dave Roberts said. This was Miller's second bullpen session since he was placed on the injured list on April 13 due to right-shoulder inflammation. The 25-year-old is going to need to go on a minor-league rehab assignment soon, but it's unclear if he'll need to make more than one start on the farm before rejoining the Dodgers' starting rotation. Despite posting a 5.40 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in 11 2/3 innings in his first three starts in 2024 before getting hurt, Miller needs to be rostered in all fantasy formats for his high-end strikeout upside with the best offense in baseball backing him each time out.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Bobby Miller (shoulder) threw a bullpen session on Friday, but manager Dave Roberts was unsure how many bullpens Miller will need before he's cleared to face live hitters. However, the skipper said Miller can ramp up quickly once that starts. The 25-year-old is trying to work his way back from right-shoulder inflammation that landed him on the injured list on April 13. Friday was the first time that Miller has thrown off a mound, so it's a notable step in his recovery. The former 29th overall pick in 2020 out of Louisville has a 5.40 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in his first three starts in 2024, but his elite strikeout upside makes him stash-worthy in all fantasy formats. Miller struck out 18 and walked just six in 11 2/3 innings over his first three outings before going on the shelf.

The Los Angeles Dodgers and right-hander Bobby Miller (shoulder) are hopeful he can begin throwing again within the next 5-7 days. If so, he could be back relatively quickly as he wouldn't need to completely build up from scratch. The 25-year-old began his 2024 season with six shutout innings with 11 strikeouts in a win over the Cardinals but has since yielded seven earned runs with seven strikeouts and five walks across only 5 2/3 innings across his last two outings. Nonetheless, he still owns a 3.14 SIERA and a 24% K-BB% on the young season and is a must-stash in any and all formats, especially since it appears he could be back sooner than later.

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed right-hander Bobby Miller (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation. The move is retroactive to April 11. Miller's injury is "not severe," and surgery is unnecessary. Miller has struggled this season, posting a 5.40 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, and 18 strikeouts over 11 2/3 innings. The 23-year-old will miss at least the 15-day minimum, but expect the Dodgers to be cautious with their young starter. The Dodgers have recalled Nick Ramirez and J.P. Feyereisen and placed Miller and Connor Brogdon on the injured list in a corresponding move. Miller was expected to start against the Washington Nationals next week, but it's unclear who will replace him in the rotation.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that right-hander Bobby Miller will start the team's second exhibition game in Korea on Monday against the Korean national team after the team goes with a bullpen game on Sunday versus the Kiwoom Heroes of the Korean Baseball Organization. The 24-year-old is on track to make his regular season debut against the St. Louis Cardinals on March 28 after Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Tyler Glasnow take the hill for the two-game series in Korea against the San Diego Padres on March 20-21. The former 29th overall pick by LA in 2020 out of Louisville really impressed in his rookie season in 2023 with a 3.76 ERA and 1.10 WHIP while walking 32 and striking out 119 in his first 22 starts. Miller has elite velocity and six different pitches to work with. He's ranked as RotoBaller's No. 22 fantasy starter in just his second MLB campaign.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Bobby Miller allowed back-to-back doubles to the Chicago White Sox in his Cactus League debut on Tuesday, but he eventually settled down and allowed only the two hits and a run while striking out one and walking none in his two innings of work. "I thought Bobby threw the ball well," manager Dave Roberts said. The Dodgers and fantasy managers are counting on Miller to take a step forward in 2024 after a strong rookie year that saw him post a 0.78 ERA through his first four major-league starts. The 24-year-old finished with an 11-4 record, 3.76 ERA (3.51 FIP) and 1.10 WHIP in 22 starts. Not only does Miller have elite velocity, but he can fool batters with six different pitches. He'll have a high price as a low-end No. 2/high-end No. 3 starter in fantasy drafts this spring.

Los Angeles Dodgers rookie starting pitcher Bobby Miller did not last long in National League Division Series Game 2's 4-2 loss to the Diamondbacks. The 24-year-old pitched just 1 2/3 innings, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks with one strikeout. Miller was successful overall in his first big-league regular season, going 11-4 with a 3.76 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and 23.6% strikeout rate in 22 starts and 124 1/3 IP. However, it is not that surprising that he was kept on a short leash with such little overall experience in a game of this magnitude.

Los Angeles Dodgers rookie right-hander Bobby Miller is in line to start Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks in LA on Monday. Veteran right-hander Lance Lynn is in play to start Game 3. Lefty Clayton Kershaw is kicking off the series on the mound for the Blue on Saturday. Miller was impressive in his first major-league season in 2023, going 11-4 with a 3.76 ERA (3.51 FIP), 1.10 WHIP, 32 walks and 119 strikeouts in 124 1/3 innings over 22 starts. The 24-year-old closed out the regular season strong, too, giving up just seven earned runs while walking four and striking out 27 in 22 2/3 innings over four starts. Miller allowed four earned runs while walking two and fanning 10 in 12 innings in his two starts against Arizona in the regular season.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Bobby Miller will not pitch on Sunday against the Boston Red Sox, according to Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register. Instead, manager Dave Roberts will give him an extra day of rest, and he'll likely pitch on Monday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Miller has been productive during his rookie season, pitching to a 3.86 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and 22.2% strikeout rate to go along with a 7-3 record over 15 starts. There's no word yet on who will start on Sunday now, so fantasy managers should stay tuned.
