Miller (shoulder) is expected to throw a simulated game Tuesday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller continues to make progress in his recovery after being sent to the 15-day injured list April 13 due to right shoulder inflammation. He successfully completed a bullpen session Saturday, and as expected, he's now been given the green light to toss a sim game. Miller will likely be sent out on a rehab assignment later in the week, assuming all goes well Tuesday.

Miller (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller is now expected to throw a three-inning simulated game within the next few days. Assuming all goes well, he will then embark on a minor-league rehab assignment. The Dodgers haven't said how long they plan on keeping Miller in the minors, but considering he has been on the shelf since April 13, he will likely need to make multiple starts in order to get back to a starter's workload.

Miller (shoulder) will throw two simulated innings at the Dodgers' complex in Arizona on Wednesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Assuming all goes well Wednesday, Miller will move onto either a three-inning sim game or begin a rehab assignment with one of the Dodgers' minor-league affiliates. Either way, the 25-year-old right-hander will most likely require multiple appearances in the minors as he continues building up to a starter's workload.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Miller (shoulder) is coming up on a minor-league rehab assignment "pretty quickly," Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller threw a bullpen session Monday, his second since being placed on the injured list with inflammation in his right shoulder April 13. Roberts noted that the right-hander's velocity was "good" in the session and sounded optimistic about Miller's progress in his recovery from the injury. The second-year hurler will make at least one minor-league rehab start, though it's still unclear how many more bullpens he'll throw before he reaches that point.

Miller (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller has been on the injured list since April 13 due to inflammation in his right shoulder, and Friday marked his first time throwing off a mound since then. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he isn't sure how many more bullpen sessions Miller will need to throw before he progresses to facing live hitters, so the 25-year-old righty will likely remain without a clear return timeline until he gets to that point.

Miller (shoulder) said Saturday that he's going to start playing catch either Monday or Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller was placed on the Dodgers' 15-day IL on April 13 due to inflammation in his right shoulder. He's been limited to plyometric work since then, but it appears he'll be able to start throwing again as soon as Monday. Miller has gone 1-1 over three starts this season, posting a 5.40 ERA and 1.46 WHIP over 11.2 innings while recording 18 strikeouts.

Miller (shoulder) is hopeful to begin throwing again as soon as next week, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller was placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation Saturday, but the right-hander described the injury as "nothing too serious." Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that the team is optimistic Miller can return to throwing in the next 5-7 days. If the 25-year-old is able to get back on the mound as soon as hoped, his build-up would likely have to be minimal before he returns to the major-league roster.

Miller was placed on the 15-day injured list by the Dodgers on Saturday, retroactive to April 11, with right shoulder inflammation, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harris was told by one source that Miller's injury is "not severe" and surgery is not expected to be needed, while Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic added that an MRI showed no structural damage. However, there is no timetable at this point for the young hurler's return, and the Dodgers certainly will be cautious with their prized right-hander. Miller had struggled in his last two starts, allowing seven runs over 5.2 innings. He had been scheduled to start early next week against the Nationals and it's not clear at this point who might fill in.

EDGE Analysis
After a stellar season debut, Miller's now allowed seven runs over 5.2 innings while striking out seven in his subsequent two starts. The 25-year-old right-hander now sports a 5.40 ERA with a 1.46 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB through his first 11.2 innings this year. Miller's next outing is currently lined up for early next week against the Nationals.

Miller (1-1) took the loss Friday against the Cubs, allowing five runs on four hits and two walks over 1.2 innings. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
After striking out 11 over six scoreless innings in his first start, Miller came back to earth Friday, surrendering five runs in the second inning before departing with two outs in the frame. The 25-year-old Miller has already demonstrated the ups and downs typical of a young pitcher, though his long-term prospects remain encouraging. He'll look to bounce back in his next outing, currently lined up for next week in Minnesota.
