Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Bobby Miller will be added to the team's major league roster on Saturday after being sidelined all year with a shoulder injury. Miller, a 27-year-old pitcher who was once one of the Dodgers' top prospects, had a breakout rookie season in 2021 but struggled with injuries since then. In his minor-league rehab assignment last month, Miller posted a 3.86 ERA over 14 innings with 17 strikeouts in seven appearances. This will be Miller's first time on the active MLB roster since May of last year.

Story summary
Bobby Miller, a 27-year-old former top pitching prospect for the Los Angeles Dodgers, is being added to the team's major league roster after spending all of this year on the injured list due to a shoulder injury. Miller had previously transitioned to a bullpen role, and his return marks his first time on the active MLB roster since last May. In 2022, Miller had a breakout rookie season for the Dodgers, going 11-4 with a 3.76 ERA in 22 starts, but has struggled with injuries ever since, including an 8.52 ERA in just 13 outings last season and a recent setback with a back issue. Despite these challenges, Miller posted a strong performance on a minor league rehab assignment, with a 3.86 ERA over 14 innings with 17 strikeouts in seven appearances.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
