"There's some arm, I think it's a little shoulder soreness, haven't figured out when to kind of ramp him up. So I don't know that answer right now, but I know that he's kind of slow to participate."
"Though 2024 and 2025 haven't been ideal for Miller, he had a huge rookie year in 2023. That season, he had 22 starts, earning an 11-4 record with a 3.76 ERA. He also had 119 strikeouts through 124.1 innings."
"With Miller working from the bullpen in 2026, he has a chance to regain his form, but cracking the starting rotation could prove more difficult. The Dodgers are planning to use a six-man rotation again this year, and though future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw has retired, there are plenty of hurlers vying for that spot."
Bobby Miller, a former top prospect for the Los Angeles Dodgers, will start the 2026 season in the bullpen rather than the starting rotation. Injuries have plagued Miller over the past two seasons, preventing full participation in spring training. Manager Dave Roberts confirmed Miller has not yet thrown off the mound due to shoulder soreness and arm issues, with the timing for ramping up his workload still undetermined. Despite his struggles in 2024 and 2025, Miller demonstrated significant potential during his impressive 2023 rookie season, posting an 11-4 record with a 3.76 ERA and 119 strikeouts. Working from the bullpen offers Miller an opportunity to regain form, though competing for a starting rotation spot may prove challenging given the Dodgers' six-man rotation plans.
