2026 Fantasy Outlook
Miller appeared in just two games in the majors in 2025 and got pummeled for six runs across just three innings in his lone start against the Rockies on April 16. He didn't show much promise in the minors, either, logging a 5.66 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 83:61 K:BB across 90.2 innings with Triple-A Oklahoma City. Miller was the Dodgers' first-round selection in the 2020 MLB Draft and was a solid member of the rotation in his first season in the majors in 2023. However, given his struggles over the last two years, coupled with the Dodgers' pitching depth, Miller's path to major-league action in 2026 will come via a low-leverage role out of the bullpen or as a spot starter should the rotation need an extra day of rest.

Shoulder
March 25, 2026
The Dodgers placed Miller (shoulder) on the 60-day injured list Monday.
Analysis
Miller was slowed by shoulder soreness this spring, and the injury is evidently bad enough that the Dodgers opted to go ahead and put him on the 60-day IL. The righty converted to a relief role in the minors last season and is surely headed back to Triple-A Oklahoma City once he returns to full health.

Stat Review
How does Bobby Miller compare to other starting pitchers?
This section compares his stats with all starting pitcher seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 120 innings)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.

* Exit Velocity, Barrels/BBE %, Balls Hit 95+ MPH %, and Spin Rate are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 120 IP). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
2022
2021
Following a promising rookie campaign, Miller was slated to be a key piece of the Dodgers' rotation in 2024, but after a dominant six-inning, 11-strikeout, scoreless first start, he took a big step back and ended the year in the minors. Injuries played a part in his rough campaign, as the right-hander missed over two months early with a shoulder issue and later dealt with a minor knee injury. All told, the right-hander posted an ugly 8.52 ERA and 1.77 WHIP while serving up 17 homers over just 56 innings. Miller's Statcast numbers tell the story of a hurler who didn't fool many hitters and was continuously pounded -- while his 97.5 mph average fastball velocity ranked in the 94th percentile among pitchers, he ranked in just the 27th percentile with a 20.2% strikeout rate and in the first percentile in allowing a 91.5 mph average exit velocity. Miller looked so great as a rookie that Los Angeles is likely to give him a chance to turn things around, but he may have to compete with Tony Gonsolin, Dustin May, Landon Knack and possibly others for the sixth spot in what projects to be a deep Dodgers rotation.
There is no other way to say it; Miller is going to be one of the most highly sought after pitchers in fantasy baseball this season after his successful rookie debut. He won half his 22 starts at the big league level showcasing elite velocity as well as six different offerings - five of which had at least a 20% whiff rate attached to them. It is impossible not to be excited about Miller's fantasy future as long as his right arm avoids the surgeon's table after watching so many talented pitchers run into that unfortunate future in recent seasons and especially last season. The only area where Miller could stand to improve is generating more strikeouts as his current production is not limited by his stuff but more by the fact opposing batters do not chase his stuff out of the zone. Once he is able to get hitters into protect mode more frequently, the sky is the limit for him. Miller's upside is staff ace, but it is unlikely he will provide the same volume of other aces in 2024.
Miller's pure stuff and ability to miss bats has not been in question since he was drafted by the Dodgers at the end of the first round in 2020. Inconsistency has been an issue for most of his pro career, but he finished 2022 with his best run to date. From July on, the 6-foot-5 righty logged a 3.56 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and an 82:16 K:BB in 55.2 innings across 11 starts between Double-A and Triple-A. Even in this impressive stretch, Miller failed to make it out of the third inning in three of his 11 starts and he struck out double-digit batters in four of 11 starts, so inconsistency remains. However, when he was on, he looked like a potential high-strikeout No. 2 starter whose power arsenal (fastball/slider/changeup) should make up for imperfect command and mechanics. The Dodgers have fifth starter candidates Ryan Pepiot and Michael Grove on the 40-man roster while the more exciting duo of Gavin Stone and Miller remain off the 40-man roster entering the year. This may not be a meritocracy right away, and the team could still trade for or sign another starter to further crowd the picture.
The No. 29 pick in the 2020 draft, Miller made his pro debut in 2021, logging 66.1 innings across High-A, Double-A and the Arizona Fall League. An oblique strain limited his innings, but his 7.2 BB% and 28.9 K% across his three stops were strong marks. He has good size at 6-foot-5, 220 pounds, and he can touch 100 mph with his mid-90s fastballs -- he throws both a four-seamer and a sinker. He throws three secondaries, all of which have above-average to plus potential. Miller was babied for most of the year, throwing less than four innings in 12 of his 17 pre-AFL starts. It might even be a stretch for Miller to get up over 100 innings in his age-23 season. There's a high ceiling to dream on, but there's also still plenty of risk that he doesn't make it as a true 160-plus inning starter.
The Dodgers have had success getting the most out of pitching prospects, and they have a lot to work with in Miller, the No. 29 overall pick in last year's draft. Despite a big frame (6-foot-5, 220 pounds) and a quality four-pitch repertoire, he carries some bullpen risk, as he had an 11.2 BB% in 2019 and a 9.7 BB% in four starts as a junior at Louisville. His mid-90s sinker touches 99 mph, but he might be better served emphasizing his fourseamer more in pro ball. He also has a plus slider that can touch the low-90s along with a changeup and curveball that have above-average potential. He has an unusual delivery and worked as a reliever for parts of his first two campaigns, only logging 20 starts across two-plus seasons. All of his shortcomings are potentially correctable, and the quality and depth of his arsenal suggests he could develop into a No. 2 starter if he can improve his command.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be traded
PLos Angeles Dodgers
January 17, 2026
Miller has been mentioned as a player the Dodgers might be open to trading before the start of the 2026 MLB season, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
Analysis
Miller made only two appearances in the 2025 season, on April 16 against the Rockies and May 24 against the Mets, allowing 11 hits and seven earned runs over five innings while posting a 7:2 K:BB. Miller moved to a relief role at Triple-A Oklahoma City and didn't return to the majors in 2025. It wouldn't be shocking if Miller opens the 2026 campaign wearing another uniform as the Dodgers have a crowded roster.
