After missing more than two months with a shoulder injury, and posting a 1-2 record and 8.07 ERA in the seven starts he did make this year, the Dodgers decided it was already time for last year's rookie star to get a reset.
Still, for a pitcher who was supposed to be a "big piece of the puzzle" in the Dodgers' pitching plans this year, as manager Dave Roberts put it early in the season, the need for such a drastic move now reflects the depths of the struggles Miller had endured - including a drop of velocity on his fastball, lack of consistency with his secondary weapons, and inability to avoid big innings like the three-run second or six-run fourth that doomed his start in Philadelphia on Tuesday.
