Dodgers are bringing up Bobby Miller to start on Tuesday... in Atlanta! Ouch!

Miller is one of two prospects they hope will be the future of the organization's starting pitching in the second half of the 2020s, along with Ryan Pepiot.

Pepiot, who is presently injured, has already pitched a bit for the team in 2022, going for a bit over 36 innings. He has done okay, but has battled control issue, walking 27 in that span (!!)

Miller has not yet pitched in the Majors. He recently had shoulder soreness, though pitched well in his last outing in the minors.

Dodgers looking very thin on pitching right now, given the injuries to May, Urias, and of course Buehler. Kershaw was ineffective in his last 2 starts, which may or may not have to do with the death of his mom (leaving him with no living parents at age 35). Gonsolin is pitching well in limited action since coming off the DL. The rest of the staff has sucked, including Syndergaard, who is just not the same guy he once was. The parade of stopgap pitchers from the minors does not look good.

Expect the Dodgers to struggle for awhile due to this issue -- along with the fact that the bottom half of the lineup is bad, as expected.
