Bobby Miller's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

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.
