Miller will start a rehab assignment with Rancho Cucamonga on Sunday. At some point soon, the Dodgers might have to decide how to fit him back into their starting rotation.
Dodgers pitcher Bobby Miller has been out since April 13 with shoulder inflammation but he is ready to start a minor-league injury rehabilitation assignment on Sunday with Rancho Cucamonga. He will make multiple starts before he is ready to rejoin the Dodgers’ rotation. LOS ANGELES — Planning for the future is part of the job.
Gomes knows that something often comes up to change any plan – or at least change the question. But Miller threw a three-inning simulated game Tuesday afternoon, throwing approximately 50 pitches to Chris Taylor, Gavin Lux, Miguel Vargas and Class-A Rancho Cucamonga outfielder Juan Alonso. “I think it’s ‘What does it look like in a couple weeks? How does the schedule match up? What place is the bullpen in?’ Gomes said of the consideration of a six-man rotation. “There’s so many different factors. We always talk about how we’re preparing for the next 30 . But it’s really just a framework. To look too far forward is foolish. Mark and I talk all the time about, ‘If X and X and X happen – but, hey, you know what? We’re not going to have to worry about it.
So far this year, the Dodgers have had only two starting pitchers go on four days of rest – the standard for decades. But a six-man rotation creates the potential for too much down time between starts depending on off days on the schedule.
