Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Miller will likely be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tyler Glasnow (elbow) was slated to start Saturday's contest but was placed on the injured list Friday, opening up an opportunity for Miller to make a spot start. The 25-year-old has accumulated an 8.07 ERA and 1.83 WHIP across 29 innings in the majors this year, and he's given up eight runs in 13 frames since being moved to Triple-A on July 10.

Miller was scratched from his scheduled start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller isn't believed to be dealing with an injury, and DiGiovanna notes that the right-hander could be recalled from Triple-A to start Friday's game against the Cardinals, with the opening in the rotation created by the Dodgers pushing Tyler Glasnow back a day in the pitching schedule to start Saturday's contest. Justin Wrobleski is also lined up to pitch for Oklahoma City on Friday, so he or Miller would seem to the Dodgers' top options to take the hill in St. Louis. Miller opened the season in the big-league rotation, but he was sent down to the minors right before the All-Star break after posting an 8.07 ERA and 1.83 WHIP across 29 innings across seven starts. Over his last three starts in Triple-A, Miller has posted a 5.54 ERA and 1.69 WHIP across 13 frames.

Miller (adductor) will start for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday versus Round Rock, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller had to be scratched from his last scheduled outing for Oklahoma City due to adductor tightness, but he will wind up missing just one turn. The right-hander allowed six runs (five earned) on six hits and three walks over just 3.2 innings in his last start for OKC on July 27. Miller will probably need to string together at least a couple nice outings in order for the Dodgers to considering re-inserting him into their rotation.

Miller was scratched from his scheduled start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday due adductor tightness, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller felt tightness following his bullpen session earlier in the week. After struggling in the majors this season, Miller was optioned to Oklahoma City on July 10. He's been inconsistent since being sent down to the minors, and in his last outing July 27, he walked away with the no-decision after allowing six runs (five earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out one across 3.2 innings.

Miller is expected to make at least one more start with Triple-A Oklahoma City, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller was optioned to Triple-A on July 10 after struggling to a 9.87 ERA over four starts following a two-month stretch on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation. The 25-year-old threw five scoreless innings against Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday, allowing three hits and four walks while striking out four batters. It's unclear how long Miller could remain in the minors, but manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Miller will "absolutely" return to the major-league roster at some point down the road.

The Dodgers optioned Miller to the minors Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The team didn't specifically relay that Miller will be headed to Triple-A Oklahoma City, as the right-hander could instead be headed to the Dodgers' facility in Arizona to work on some mechanical adjustments. His demotion comes after he was lit up for nine earned runs in four innings in Tuesday's loss to the Phillies, bringing his ERA up to 9.87 over his four starts since he returned to the rotation June 19 following a two-plus-month stay on the injured list due to shoulder inflammation. The Dodgers will need a replacement in the rotation for Miller in Sunday's game in Detroit, but the right-hander might be a candidate to rejoin the big club shortly after the All-Star break. The possibility exists, however, that the Dodgers will have Miller spend some extended time in the minors to iron out the kinks, as the team should get some reinforcements to its rotation after the break that may lessen the need to bring back the struggling right-hander. Tyler Glasnow (back) and Walker Buehler (hip) could both be ready to return from the IL immediately after the break, while Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) is in the midst of a rehab assignment and could be ready to come off the 60-day IL by the end of July or the first week of August.

Miller (1-2) took the loss Tuesday against the Phillies, allowing nine runs on 10 hits and three walks across four innings. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
Miller allowed three runs in the second inning before Philadelphia opened things up in the fourth, where it scored six more times on five hits, highlighted by a Trea Turner grand slam. The 25-year-old Miller has had a rough time since returning from the injured list in mid-June, allowing 19 runs over his last 17.1 innings. His ERA is up to an ugly 8.07 with a 1.83 WHIP and 27:18 K:BB across seven starts this season. Despite his struggles, Miller figures to stick in the rotation for now due to Tyler Glasnow (back) joining Yoshinobu Yamamoto (shoulder) and Walker Buehler (hip) on the IL. He's currently lined up for a road matchup this weekend in Detroit.

Miller will not start Sunday against Milwaukee, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller would have been on regular rest Sunday, but the Dodgers will opt to give him at least two extra days to recover. He's struggled in three starts since returning from the injured list, posting a combined 7:9 K:BB with a 6.75 ERA and 1.73 WHIP.

Miller allowed two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four over five innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Miller was responsible for a game-tying two-run home run by Christian Walker in the fourth inning. This was Miller's third start since he returned from shoulder inflammation, but he's given up 10 runs over 13.1 innings with a 7:9 K:BB across those outings. Overall, he's at a 6.12 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 25:15 K:BB through 25 innings over six starts this season. Miller is still likely trying to find a rhythm after a two-month absence. With his next start projected to be against either Milwaukee or Philadelphia -- the other two National League division leaders besides the Dodgers -- fantasy managers may want to take a wait-and-see approach with Miller in the short term.

Miller did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's 4-3 win against the White Sox, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks over two innings. He struck out one.
EDGE Analysis
The Dodgers right-hander labored through just two innings against a feeble White Sox lineup, requiring 60 pitches with only 32 percent being in the zone. Miller has been unsteady since returning from the injured list June 19, generating a 8.64 ERA and 3:4 K:BB across 8.1 innings versus two weak opponents -- Chicago and Colorado. He looks to bounce back in his next start, currently scheduled to be against the Giants on the road this weekend.
