Dodgers Holding Miller Back

According to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, Miller's scratch was due to the Dodgers potentially needing additional coverage in the majors this weekend. The team is currently dealing with injuries to several key pitchers, including Tony Gonsolin and Dustin May.

Miller's Impressive Minor League Season

Miller has been one of the most dominant pitchers in the minor leagues this season, posting a 2.70 ERA and striking out 111 batters in 76.2 innings pitched. He has also shown excellent command, walking just 18 batters.

Potential Major League Debut

If Miller is called up to the majors, it would be his first time pitching in the big leagues. He has been regarded as one of the Dodgers' top prospects and is considered one of the best pitching prospects in all of baseball.

Dodgers' Pitching Depth

The Dodgers have a deep and talented pitching staff, but Miller's potential call-up is a sign of the team's willingness to promote their top prospects when needed. The team has a history of developing and promoting young pitchers, including Julio Urias and Walker Buehler.

Conclusion

Bobby Miller's scratch from his Triple-A start has fueled speculation about a potential call-up to the major leagues this weekend. Miller's impressive minor league performance and the Dodgers' need for pitching depth make him a prime candidate to join the big league team soon.
