Dodgers reliever injury opens door for Bobby Miller
16 Sep
Summary
- Reliever Edgardo Henriquez is on the injured list with a back issue.
- Bobby Miller is returning to the major league team.
- Miller aims to help the team win in any role.
The Los Angeles Dodgers received unwelcome news as reliever Edgardo Henriquez was placed on the injured list on Monday with a lower back issue. The severity of Henriquez's injury means his return to the Dodgers' bullpen this season is uncertain.
This situation, however, presents an opportunity for pitcher Bobby Miller to rejoin the major league team. Miller spoke with the media prior to the Dodgers' game against the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday, expressing his commitment to his new role.
Miller conveyed his dedication to helping the team succeed, stating, "That's my job out there. Give the team a chance to win whenever you're out there... I'll take any role I can get." He had a brief appearance earlier this month, allowing one run over three innings, but his last outing in Oklahoma City was less successful.
He is expected to be utilized in low-leverage situations in the Dodgers bullpen. This could be a valuable chance for Miller to build confidence on the mound against a team not currently in playoff contention.
