“He has a little headache, but there is no break,” Roberts said via the Los Angeles Times. “Today he’s just going to lie down, but he feels very sure he can soon pick up his throwing program. But he just has to keep going through the concussion protocol just to make sure we stay on the right track.”
Roberts forwarded Miller told him he had a “hard head” and was in “good mood.”
“He feels very sure he can soon pick up his throwing program,” the manager added. “But he just has to keep going through the concussion protocol just to make sure we remain on the right track.”

Roberts did not give a clear timeline for Miller’s return.
Miller was Dodgers’ choice of the first round of 2020 MLB draft and debuted three years later. He had a decent rookie season that threw himself into a 3.76 era in 22 starts, but his second campaign was a different story.
The 25-year-old was up and down between majors and minors when he got an 8.52 era in 13 large league starts, while he was also missing time with shoulder inflammation.

Los Angeles comes from their second World Series victory since 2020, and they only got better by adding Blake Snell, Kirby Yates and Roki Sasaki.
