Los Angeles Dodgers Send Bobby Miller to the Minors Following Disappointing Performance in Difficult Season

Dodgers pitcher Bobby Miller has faced significant struggles since coming back from the injured list, leading to the worst start of his career against the Phillies. Following this rough outing, the team has opted to send him down to the minors with an 8.07 ERA. Miller allowed a staggering nine runs in just four innings on Tuesday, bringing his total to 19 runs in four starts since returning. In a post-game interview, he acknowledged the need to work on his execution and aggressiveness on the mound. This demotion means Miller cannot return to the majors until at least July 25, likely missing a rotation turn after the All-Star break. The Dodgers are now down to four starting pitchers and have called up Ricky Vanasco to fill Miller's spot. With other pitchers also dealing with injuries, the team is relying on a mix of rookies and a veteran to stabilize their rotation.
