Dodgers activate Bobby Miller and option Kyle Hurt to the minor leagues
Summary

The Los Angeles Dodgers activated pitcher Bobby Miller from the minor leagues following a recovery period from shoulder and back issues. To accommodate the move on the 40-man roster, the team designated Alex Thomas for assignment and optioned Kyle Hurt to the minor leagues. Miller returns to the active roster for the first time since May 2025. Manager Dave Roberts confirmed that Miller is expected to pitch in bulk during the series finale against the Washington Nationals on September 6th. The team anticipates Miller can provide approximately 50 pitches of relief as part of a transition to bolster the current starting rotation depth. During his time at Triple-A, Miller recorded a 3.86 ERA across seven appearances and 14 innings of work while striking out 17 hitters.
