Miller

With Blake Treinen (shoulder) heading to the injured list, Miller gets another opportunity to contribute out of the Dodgers’ bullpen. The 27-year-old hurler has registered a 5.06 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and a 3/2 K/BB ratio in 5 1/3 innings with the Dodgers this season.

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.

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 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

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.

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.
