"The role is going to be out of the bullpen, most likely multi-innings, I'd assume. So that's about it right now, that's all I know. I'm not getting a whole lot of info. Hurt has shown a willingness to pitch in any role for the Dodgers and knows he will have to change his mindset to adjust to being a reliever on a regular basis."
"Yeah, as a starter, you have your routine, and you have it down to a T, and as a reliever, it's a whole lot different. You get a little anxious during the game. You don't know when your name is going to get called. You don't know what situation you should be ready for. So that's one thing that I think I could always get better at in the transition from being a starter to being in the bullpen."
"Although he didn't pitch for the Dodgers last season, Hurt made seven relief appearances for OKC as part of a rehab assignment. He posted a 1.93 ERA with 10 strikeouts against five walks in 9.1 innings."
The Dodgers prioritize pitching depth throughout the season and are reintegrating Kyle Hurt and Bobby Miller into their roster. Hurt missed the previous season recovering from Tommy John surgery, while Miller appeared in only two MLB games, spending most of the year in Triple-A Oklahoma City. Both pitchers previously worked as starters but have transitioned to occasional bullpen use over the past two seasons. For 2026, they are shifting to full-time relief roles, likely handling multi-inning appearances. Hurt completed a rehab assignment with OKC, posting a 1.93 ERA with 10 strikeouts in 9.1 innings across seven relief appearances. Miller also pitched for OKC and showed improvement as the season progressed.
