Mandatory Credit: Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn ImagesBobby Miller\u2019s injury<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Miller is bouncing back from a back injury, which surfaced after he dealt with shoulder pain. He got an injection and responded well with his shoulder, but then the back problem came.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, as of June, Miller has not dealt with another setback. He is returning to the minor leagues with a relief role possibly waiting with the major league club.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m ready for whatever role,\u201d Miller said. \u201cWhatever gets me back to the big leagues and contributing to the team. That\u2019s all I care about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Miller has ridiculous stuff, with a high-velocity fastball and secondary offerings that are quite tempting. Command is the biggest issue for Miller, and he will need to show control if he wants another MLB chance.<\/p>\n<p>Gavin Stone\u2019s injury<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stone had a promising start to Spring Training, finally pitching after more than a year recovering from shoulder surgery, but shoulder discomfort forced him to be shut down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He has been throwing on and off again, facing a ton of obstacles in his battle. Stone started 25 games for the Dodgers in 2024 before his shoulder surgery.<\/p>\n<p><img data-od-replaced- data-od-xpath=\"\/HTML\/BODY\/DIV[@class='elementor elementor-246426 elementor-location-single post-256874 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-dodgers tag-bobby-miller tag-dodgers tag-gavin-stone tag-los-angeles-dodgers mv-content-wrapper']\/*[2][self::DIV]\/*[1][self::DIV]\/*[1][self::DIV]\/*[1][self::DIV]\/*[4][self::DIV]\/*[14][self::FIGURE]\/*[1][self::IMG]\" loading=\"lazy\" data-dominant-color=\"5f6a74\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #5f6a74;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"766\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/gavin-stone-1024x766.webp\" alt=\"Feb 24, 2026; Phoenix, Arizona, USA; Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Gavin Stone against the Cleveland Guardians during a spring training game at Camelback Ranch-Glendale.
