Dodgers RHP Bobby Miller (shoulder) on 15-day injured list
Matt Krohn-USA TODAY Sports

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed right-hander Bobby Miller on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right shoulder inflammation.

The move is retroactive to Wednesday, when Miller exited after four innings of two-run ball in the Dodgers' 3-2 road loss to the Minnesota Twins.

Miller, who turned 25 last week, is 1-1 with a 5.40 ERA in three starts this season. Last season as a rookie, Miller, whom the Dodgers drafted in the first round in 2020, was a key piece of the rotation with an 11-4 record and a 3.76 ERA in 22 starts. In 124 1/3 innings, he struck out 119 and walked 32.

Right-hander Walker Buehler, who hasn't pitched in the majors since undergoing Tommy John surgery in August 2022, isn't ready to return after being struck on the right hand by a comebacker Friday in a two-inning rehab start.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Saturday that Buehler is fine and will make his next rehab start Thursday.

Left-handed reliever Ryan Yarbrough, who has been a starter during his career, could fill the final rotation spot until Buehler is ready to return.

Right-hander Connor Brogdon (right plantar fasciitis) joined Miller on the 15-day IL. Right-hander J.P. Feyereisen and left-hander Nick Ramirez were called up from Triple-A to the active roster.
