is expected to return to the Los Angeles Dodgers' starting rotation next week, according to manager Dave Roberts. His first start should be against the Colorado Rockies.Dave Roberts on Bobby Miller's rehab start tonight: "I saw the results. The results weren’t good. ... I’m sure we’ll have a conversation but I expect him to make his next start with us.
The Dodgers moved him to Triple-A with his first start there on June 7. Miller pitched four innings, gave up four hits, and allowed one earned run. Miller's return presents an opportunity for the Dodgers' rotation to reset. The team finished its three-game series against the Texas Rangers on Thursday using the bullpen to get through all nine innings. Los Angeles has used a strategy of giving starters six days off between starts. Turning to a six-man rotation would allow the bullpen to do what they do best: pitch in relief.
A former first-round pick, Miller was 1-1 with a 5.40 ERA through three starts before landing on the 15-day injured list retroactive to April 10 with right shoulder inflammation.Maren Angus-Coombs was born in Los Angeles and raised in Nashville, Tenn.
