The odd man out figures to be right-hander Michael Grove, but neither he nor manager Dave Roberts shot down the possibility of Grove staying as a reliever
Miller, 24, entered Saturday’s start against Houston with a 3-1 record and 2.83 ERA five games into his career.
“I think this is the 100th percentile, as far as what we had hoped how they would handle if given the opportunity to pitch for us this year,” Roberts said. “Given the injuries and how it’s been for these guys to fill in more than admirably and carry themselves as such gives us a lot of confidence on the pitching side.”
The odd man out in that case figures to be right-hander Michael Grove, who threw two scoreless relief innings Friday against the Astros. “My first time coming out of the ’pen like that, so I didn’t know exactly what to expect, how I’d feel, nerves, all that stuff,” Grove said. “I don’t know how these guys go through it. Build a sweat out there, the gates open, it’s definitely a rush. It’s something I’ve never experienced.”Noah Syndergaard threw three simulated innings to Dodger hitters prior to Saturday’s game, his first action against live hitters since being placed on the 15-day injured list with a finger blister June 8.
