GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) Los Angeles Dodgers
pitcher Bobby Miller still had a bit of a headache, but slept
fine and felt much better a day after getting hit on the head by
a line drive, manager Dave Roberts said Friday.
Roberts said he had spoken with Miller, who was still in
concussion protocol after getting struck by a 105.5 mph liner
hit by Chicago Cubs first baseman Michael Busch in the first
game of spring training Thursday.
The manager said Miller indicated that there was no fracture or
any significant bruising.
He said in his words, I have a hard head. He was certainly in
good spirits, Roberts said.
Miller immediately fell to the ground while holding his head,
but quickly got up on his knees as medical staff rushed onto the
field. The 25-year-old right-hander was able to walk off the
field on his own.
He feels very confident that he can kind of pick up his
throwing program soon, said Roberts, who was unsure of that
timing. "But he's just got to keep going through the concussion
protocol just to make sure that we stay on the right track.
Miller entered spring training in the mix for a spot in the
starting rotation. He had a 2-4 record with an 8.52 ERA over 13
starts last season, after going 11-4 with a 3.76 in 22 starts as
a rookie in 2023.
