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.

🔮 After the team was eliminated from the National League Championship Series last week, Ohtani said he was not sure if he would need any offseason procedures.
🔮 When a new CBA is struck, and what changes to the league’s financial structure it could possibly entail, is still anyone’s guess.
🔮 This season, the group couldn’t replicate that success, enduring adversity during an injury-plagued regular season and then failure against a relentless Brewers offense in the team’s National League Championship Series elimination.
🔮 “Yes, definitely,” Ohtani said through interpreter Will Ireton on Thursday night, when asked if he intended to return to pitching in 2027.
🔮 Rojas will remain in the Dodgers’ organization moving forward, having agreed to transition into player development after 2026 when he re-signed as a free agent with the club this winter.
🔮 Instead, despite a 100-win regular season and league-record $432 million payroll, the two-time defending champions were eliminated in the National League Championship Series by the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday, ending their bid for history and sending them into an uncertain offseason –– one that could include an extended lockout, notable changes to the roster, and existential questions about how to retool around their aging veteran core.
🔮 Just a fourth-straight loss and an embarrassing elimination that will send the Dodgers into a long, regretful winter full of future uncertainty.
🔮 After striking out in his first at-bat Thursday night, Ohtani delivered the kind of moment the Dodgers had been waiting for all October, unloading on a down-and-in cutter from ex-Dodger Dustin May to give the Dodgers an early 4-0 lead in their elimination game.
🔮 Whenever the offseason arrives, notable changes could be coming to the Dodgers’ clubhouse. Freeman and Muncy won’t be going anywhere, nor will other core veterans such as Mookie Betts, Will Smith or Shohei Ohtani. But Miguel Rojas is likely to retire.
🔮 But now, he will spearhead their offense once again, with the Dodgers elect to ride-or-die with the four-time MVP at the top of their lineup.

Narrative

He had an 8.52 ERA in just 13 outings that season, then gave up seven runs in five innings over two outings last season, most of which he spent toiling in Triple-A. Miller was slow-played this spring while dealing with his ongoing shoulder problem, then had a further setback early in the year with a back issue. But a month ago, he began a minor-league rehab assignment with the team’s Triple-A Oklahoma City affiliate, posting a 3.86 ERA over 14 innings with 17 strikeouts in seven appearances.
