Bobby Miller - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Shelled in 2025 debut Miller allowed six runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over three innings in a no-decision against Colorado on Wednesday.

Impact Miller was called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday afternoon in order to make a spot start with the big club. He fell behind 1-0 in the first inning, but the Dodgers' offense responded with a seven-run bottom of the frame to seemingly take the pressure off the young right-hander. However, Miller gave back most of the lead in the third inning, surrendering five runs -- four of which came on a Michael Toglia grand slam -- in that frame. Overall, Miller needed 84 pitches to retire nine batters, and the only real positive to take away from his start is that he racked up seven punchouts. Miller could be sent back down to the minors in short order with Los Angeles playing just five games over the next eight days, though the team will likely need another spot starter for one game next week, so it's not out of the realm of possibility that Miller will get another chance to make an impression.

Candidate for spot start The Dodgers may consider calling up Miller to fill a void in the rotation next week, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

Impact With Blake Snell (shoulder) landing on the injured list Sunday and both Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki on a once-per-week pitching schedule, Los Angeles is likely to need fill-in pitchers next Tuesday and Wednesday against Colorado at the tail end of a stretch of six games in six days. The team has recently given big-league starts to both Landon Knack and Justin Wrobleski, but both struggled mightily in their outings. The Dodgers could go back to one or both of those hurlers or elect for a bullpen game to cover open days in the rotation next week, but Miller is also a possibility for a call-up, as he's had success in the big leagues in the past (he logged a 3.76 ERA and 1.10 WHIP over 22 regular-season starts in 2023). The righty lost his rotation spot last year after struggling to an 8.52 ERA over 56 regular-season innings, but he's been passable with Triple-A Oklahoma City so far this season, allowing only three earned runs despite a 7:8 K:BB over 9.2 frames. After Wednesday, Los Angeles has just five games over the following eight days, so the team's need for stand-in starters will be less urgent. In the longer term, there may not be room for Miller in the Dodgers' rotation -- Snell is eyeing a short-term stay on the IL, Tony Gonsolin (back) may need just two or three more rehab starts before he's ready to be activated, and Shohei Ohtani (elbow) remains a possibility to begin pitching in games sometime in May.
