Quicker than you is perhaps questioning who might change Walker Buehler within the Dodgers rotation when he returns, the query is straight away moot. Bobby Miller was positioned on the injured listing Saturday with proper shoulder irritation, opening a spot to fill between now and when Buehler returns.
Miller struck out 11 in six scoreless innings in his first begin of the season on March 29, however has since been struck out within the second inning at Chicago and was finished after 4 high-scoring innings Wednesday at Minnesota . Miller in these final two begins has allowed seven runs in 5⅔ innings, with nearly as many walks (5) as strikeouts (seven).
Based on Fabian Ardaya in The Athletic, an MRI on Miller's elbow revealed no structural damage.
The Dodgers had been busy earlier than Saturday's sport in opposition to the Padres, putting each Miller and reliever Connor Brogdon on the 15-day injured listing, the latter with plantar fasciitis in his proper foot. That made it straightforward to name up right-hander JP Feyereisen and left-hander Nick Ramirez. Feyereisen was lively through the Seoul Collection and pitched as soon as in South Korea earlier than getting optioned to Triple-A. Ramirez was acquired by the Yankees on April 2nd.
Recent arms might be wanted within the subsequent week or so for the Dodgers. Buehler is about to make one other rehab begin Thursday earlier than he’s doubtlessly able to rejoin the crew. Miller would have began Tuesday or Wednesday in opposition to the Nationals, and now his rotation slot should be crammed. Supervisor Dave Roberts mentioned Friday evening that he restricted reliever Ryan Yarbrough to only one inning in additional frames as a result of he’s wanted for an extended outing within the coming days.
Then there's the query of whether or not Yoshinobu Yamamoto might be requested to pitch on 4 days' relaxation Wednesday in opposition to the Nationals, one thing he has but to do within the majors. So doubtlessly the Dodgers may have to fill it two video games value of innings within the collection in opposition to Washington. One can think about Landon Knack and Kyle Damage, every of whom final pitched Wednesday in Triple-A, might maintain their telephones shut within the coming days.
