The Los Angeles Dodgers optioned right-handed pitcher Bobby Miller to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday morning, just hours after a rough 2025 season debut at the big league level. In Wednesday night’s outing against the Colorado Rockies, Miller lasted only three innings, surrendering six earned runs on eight hits and one walk.
Despite the brutal stat line, Miller did flash some positives. His curveball looked sharp throughout the outing, and he showed swing-and-miss potential, racking up seven strikeouts. The ability to miss bats has long been a part of Miller’s profile, and it was encouraging to see flashes of that even in a tough start.
The 26-year-old entered the season as one of the organization’s top arms and had been pitching well in Triple-A before his call-up, posting a 2.25 ERA across three starts with Oklahoma City. His promotion was mainly due to a temporary need in the Dodgers’ rotation, which has been tested early in the season by injuries and inconsistent performances.
With Miller heading back to Triple-A, the Dodgers will likely rely on their depth to cover the next turn in the rotation. However, this is unlikely to be the last time fans see Miller in Dodger Blue this season. If he can bounce back and continue to perform in Oklahoma City, the hard-throwing righty could be back in the mix as a spot starter or even a longer-term option later this summer.
For now, Miller returns to the minors with a clear goal: regroup, refine, and return stronger.
