“The long road back felt like ramping up for a new season” Bobby Miller remarks prior to his comeback.
The Los Angeles Dodgers haven’t seen Bobby Miller on a major league mound in a while. On April 10, he made his final big league start before being sidelined due to inflammation in his shoulder. It will have been 70 days between starts when he comes back on Wednesday.
Miller said to Kirsten Watson of SportsNet LA on Tuesday in Denver, Colorado, that the arduous journey back felt like it was getting underway for a new season
“Regaining everything takes time,” Miller remarked. It seemed to be building up after an off-season, to be honest. Everything is located where it should be. I am excited about it.
Since the team returned from Seoul, South Korea to start the regular season in March, Miller informed Watson that he had been experiencing shoulder discomfort.
On March 18, when the Dodgers faced a Korean All-Star team, Miller took the ball rather than pitching in either of the squad’s games against the Padres. That day, he threw 76 pitches in five innings, giving up two runs in the Dodgers’ 5-2 victory.
In the Dodgers’ homecoming game against the Cubs at Chicago’s Wrigley Field, Miller gave up five runs in 1.2 innings during his second start of the regular season. Miller is from Illinois. Miller put up two runs in four innings during his next start on April 10 at Minnesota, although he struggled a little throughout the 73-pitch outing.
Miller stated that he’s still unsure of how or when he was injured.
He said to Watson, “I’m still trying to figure out what caused it.” “It all began immediately following Korea and gradually worsened, interfering slightly with my delivery and causing slight mechanical changes.” I want to maintain my current level of energy for the remainder of the season.
