After recent injuries to Dustin May and Julio Urías, the Dodgers are planning to start pitchers Gavin Stone and Bobby Miller against the Atlanta Braves.
Manager Dave Roberts confirmed Stone will pitch the series opener, in what will be the second major league start this season for the former fifth-round draft pick.Miller, a former first-round pick and the No. 2-ranked prospect in the club’s farm system by MLB Pipeline, is expected to make his MLB debut Tuesday, according to people with knowledge of the situation unauthorized to speak publicly.
In his two triple-A starts since then, he’s given up just two runs in 11 total innings, his two best minor-league starts of the year. The 24-year-old right-hander has been hailed as having the best stuff of any Dodgers minor-league pitcher, coupling a triple-digit fastball with a slider, sinker, changeup and curveball.
“Skill-set-wise, there’s a lot of talent,” Roberts said of Miller, whose starting plans beyond Tuesday remain unclear and could depend on whether Urías is ready to return to action as expected when his 15-day IL stint is up.In response to Dodgers’ Pride Night removal, Sisters vow: We will continue ‘to serve and uplift’
