LOS ANGELES – Let's test in on a couple of Dodgers pitchers at the moment on the injured record, and the way their rehabs have gone to this point. Bobby Miller and Kyle Harm are each sidelined with shoulder irritation.
Miller threw one other bullpen session at Dodger Stadium on Monday, three days after his bullpen session on Friday, which was his first day without work the mound since being positioned on IL on 13 April. Miller mentioned he has one other bullpen session scheduled for Thursday.
“I threw all my pitches [Monday]and the velocity will increase,” Miller mentioned Monday. “After [Thursday] we’ll see what occurs. I hope some reside right here quickly. “
The “life” Miller mentioned is dealing with reside hitters, which is normally the step between bullpen classes and a minor league rehab task. It's unclear what number of rehab begins Miller would possibly want, however contemplating it's been 4 weeks since Miller final pitched in a sport — April 10 at Minnesota — he would possibly must rebuild his innings earlier than be part of the Dodgers. However a rehabilitation mission isn’t essentially too far-off.
“As soon as he begins dealing with hitters, I believe he'll develop quicker,” supervisor Dave Roberts mentioned Friday.
Harm was positioned on the 15-day injured record on April 20, however was moved to the 60-day injured record every week later.
“I felt discomfort in my shoulder, and I attempted to throw it for a bit of bit, however my veil and issues have been going downhill,” Harm mentioned Sunday. “I assumed I may grind him, however I assumed it was higher to not.”
Transferring to the 60-day IL means the earliest Harm may presumably return is June 16, but it surely appears to be like prefer it may take a bit of longer than that. He mentioned he might be on a pitching program for 4 to 6 weeks, and though he’s nonetheless with the staff, he may go to Camelback Ranch in Arizona sooner or later.
“It's irritating, but it surely's in my greatest curiosity to go to IL, and take our time,” he mentioned.
