    Bobby Miller, on the 60-day IL with shoulder soreness, tossed three scoreless frames for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

    Miller struck out three and averaged 97.3 mph with his fastball in his third minor league appearance. The Dodgers will eventually need to activate him from the injured list and likely will option him to Triple-A when it happens, but perhaps he’ll see some bullpen time in September.

    Miller has allowed three runs on four hits in 5 1/3 innings out of the Dodgers’ bullpen this season. His first outing was fine, but he allowed two runs on three hits in 2 1/3 innings on Wednesday, so the Dodgers will send him down to bring up a fresh arm in the bullpen.

    Miller finds himself back in the majors with Edgardo Henriquez hitting the shelf with a back issue. The 27-year-old former top pitching prospect allowed one run over three innings during his season debut earlier this month. He figures to operate in low-leverage spots out of the Dodgers’ bullpen, which pretty much extinguishes any avenues to fantasy relevance.

    Miller draws the short straw from a roster construction standpoint with Los Angeles needing to free up a spot for Emmet Sheehan. The 27-year-old showed well in his return to the big leagues, allowing one run over three innings to pick up a win in relief against the Nationals on Sunday. He figures to return at some point before the regular season concludes.

    Good for Miller, who was making his first MLB appearance since May 24, 2025. It was his first win since Aug. 20, 2024. The one run he allowed came when he grazed Dylan Crews with a rain-slicked curveball in his first inning of work, forcing in a run. He retired seven in a row afterwards, though he did need Kyle Tucker to rob Harry Ford of a homer to pull that off. It’d be nice to see him stick around after this, but the Dodgers might swap him out in order to recall Emmet Sheehan prior to Monday’s game.

    After missing the entire season-to-date with shoulder soreness that cropped up during the spring, Miller is finally ready to debut with the Dodgers. He’ll be available out of the bullpen on Sunday and could wind up piggybacking with Justin Wrobleski.
  • LAD Starting Pitcher #28
    Miller struck out three, didn’t walk anybody, and threw 60 percent of his pitches for strikes. He sat 96.9 mph on his four-seam fastball, which is down from where he usually sits but still pretty solid. He got plenty of swings and misses on his curve, but he really struggled to command his changeup and slider. Still, it’s nice to see Miller back on the mound after dealing with shoulder soreness all season
  • LAD Starting Pitcher #28
    Another bad surprise here. The Dodgers didn’t admit that anything was wrong with Miller initially this spring, and by the time they revealed he experienced shoulder soreness, he was already back throwing off a mound. If Miller is able to contribute this year, it will be as a reliever.
  • LAD Pitcher #28
    It was only about 10 pitches for Miller, who has been fighting a shoulder issue. The Dodgers intend to keep Miller in the bullpen this season after he finished last year there in the minors, and he’ll either open up on the IL or in Triple-A.
  • LAD Starting Pitcher #28
    The Dodgers figure to add a couple experienced bullpen arms at the trade deadline, but their recent avalanche of injuries has forced them to move Miller to a relief role as a potential in-house alternative. The 26-year-old former top prospect continues to battle control issues at the Triple-A level, but his stuff figures to play up in shorter bursts out of the bullpen. He’s highly unlikely to make a fantasy impact in the near future, but we’ve seen countless examples of failed starters turning into quality relievers in the past.
  • LAD Starting Pitcher #28
    The 26-year-old hurler was called up from Triple-A on Saturday to add a fresh arm to the bullpen and he gave up one run on two hits over his two innings of work against the Mets. He’ll return to the rotation at Triple-A Oklahoma City where he’ll stay ready until the Dodgers’ need him again. Chris Stratton was added to the roster in a corresponding move on Sunday.

    Hunter Goodman (thumb) remains out of the lineup on Thursday against the Padres.

    Goodman has now missed three straight games with right thumb soreness after being pulled from Monday’s game early. There is no indication that the Rockies are thinking about putting him on the injured list, but they also have nothing to play for at this point in the season, so it’s possible. Brett Sullivan will start behind the dish and hit eighth.

    Ceddanne Rafaela (quad) hit off a Tajekt machine on Thursday before Triple-A Worcester’s game.

    Rafaela has been sidelined since September 6th with a right quad strain. The Red Sox could try to get him into a game at Triple-A over the weekend before the season ends, but it appears that the center fielder is close to a return.

    Garrett Mitchell (neck) is out of the lineup on Thursday against the Pirates.

    Mitchell was scratched from Wednesday’s game with neck tightness. The Brewers said it was precautionary, and they are resting many starters on Thursday, like Christian Yelich and William Contreras, so it’s too early to know if this injury will actually be a concern for Mitchell. Luis Lara will start in center field on Thursday with Sal Frelick playing right field and batting seventh.

    The Brewers are resting all of Christian Yelich, William Contreras, Jake Bauers, Garrett Mitchell, and Cooper Pratt on Thursday against the Pirates.

    The Brewers have clinched the division and are playing an early game, so it makes sense that they would rest a handful of their starters. Fantasy managers should expect them to take a similar approach next week, as they will want to give their starters an extra day of rest or two before the postseason.

    Matt Weyrich of the Baltimore Sun reports that Cade Povich will be recalled to start for the Orioles over the weekend.

    Povich was originally scheduled to start on Thursday for Triple-A Norfolk but is no longer listed as the starter. The team is down a starter with Kyle Bradish on the injured list, so it makes sense that Povich will come up to take his spot. The exact day remains unclear, but we’d recommend avoiding him as a spot start against the Brewers.

    Ryan O’Hearn is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Brewers.

    With the Brewers starting left-hander Kyle Harrison, O’Hearn will take a seat on the bench, and Rafael Flores will play first base while Henry Davis will catch and bat ninth. Brandon Lowe is in the lineup at second base, but he has moved down to fifth against the lefty.

    Shea Langeliers is out of the lineup on Thursday against the Rays.

    Since coming back from surgery to repair a torn meniscus, Langeliers has played three of the five games for the Athletics. With the team not in playoff contention, it makes sense that they don’t want to push the 28-year-old’s knee any more than they need to. The Athletics are at home all week next week, but we would expect Langeliers to sit two of those games. Jeff McNeil is at DH and hitting second on Thursday, while Donovan Walton is at second base and batting fifth.

    Brewers designated LHP Rob Zastryzny for assignment.

    Zastryzny was on the 60-day injured list with a left trapezius strain, but his time on his rehab assignment elapsed, and the Brewers had to activate him. They didn’t have a spot for him on the active roster, so they let him go but could re-sign him to a minor league contract.

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that the team’s plan is “to activate Andy Pages (fractured hand) this homestand without a rehab assignment.”

    The Dodgers are home from Friday through next Wednesday, so Pages could be activated at any time during that stretch. The season ends for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, so if Pages is coming back without playing in rehab games, our best guess is that he returns early next week. Considering the 25-year-old fractured his hand on August 21st and will not have any rehab games before returning, it’s going to be tough to trust him in fantasy leagues for the final week of the season.

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Edwin Díaz will be active tomorrow but will pitch in a low-leverage role.

    Díaz was placed on the injured list on August 18th with neck inflammation. His minor league rehab assignment has been a mixed bag, with a couple of poor outings last week and then a scoreless inning on Wednesday night. The Dodgers want the 32-year-old to get MLB innings before the postseason begins, but he will have to pitch his way back into the ninth-inning role, which means Tanner Scott will remain the closer for the time being.
