Right-hander Bobby Miller went 2-4 with an 8.52 ERA in 13 starts for the Dodgers during an inconsistent and injury-plagued season.

The Los Angeles Dodgers pitching staff was unable to shut down a light-hitting Miami Marlins team in an 11-9 loss to open the series. Bobby Miller was back on the mound, perhaps in what was a make-or-break game for him after Dodgers manager Dave Roberts would not commit to the right-hander staying in the rotation after Tuesday.

The Dodgers made a number of pitching roster moves on Wednesday before a game against the Marlins, activating Joe Kelly from the injured list and calling up left-hander Zach Logue Bobby Miller and Michael Grove were optioned.

In the Dodgers ’ 11-9 loss to the Miami Marlins, however, the Japanese slugger and favorite for National League most valuable player seemed more worried about his other at-bats in a one-for-five performance; most notably, a sixth-inning opportunity when he stranded runners on the corners with his third strikeout of the game.

Struggling starter Bobby Miller no longer has a locker in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ clubhouse, according to Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times. The right-hander gave up four earned runs in just two innings last night against the light-hitting Miami Marlins last night.
