Bobby Miller's season has struggled, with the second-year starter recently scratched from his start with Triple-A Oklahoma City.
with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday night. Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times mentioned in a post on X that the team is being cautious with Miller as he had some adductor tightness following a bullpen sessionMiller has already spent more than two months on the injured list this season due to right shoulder inflammation. He made four rehab starts before returning to the Dodgers. Across those four starts, he has a 5.71 ERA with just 11 strikeouts across 17.1 innings of work.
“It was a combination of an injury and a little bit of like that sophomore , where you’re on the map, people know you, have a better idea ,”Miller made a name for himself as a rookie last season. In the regular season he had an 11-4 record with a 3.76 ERA in 22 starts with the Dodgers. This season has been a completely different story, as Miller is 1-2 with an 8.07 ERA in just seven starts.
The sophomore said when he returned from his injury, his arm felt great but he had no idea where the ball was going. His fastball command as well as his breaking pitches all suffered. It turns out, he found his arm slot in his delivery had unintentionally shifted. The Dodgers forced Miller to spend the last week before the All-Star break in Los Angeles to work on his mechanics.
“Literally within the first day, he showed me some new drills on how to stay looser when I throw and not tense up,”“It just kind of had my arm feel like a whip again. That’s how it feels when I throw it really well.”manager Dave Roberts said.Los Angeles will likely keep Miller on the back of its mind as a September call-up but first, he’ll need to get healthy and start pitching up to his capabilities.Maren Angus-Coombs was born in Los Angeles and raised in Nashville, Tenn.
