Dodgers latest roster moves include Bobby Miller being activated

The Dodgers made their long-awaited move on Saturday, activating right-hander Bobby Miller from the 60-day injured list ahead of their game against the Nationals. To clear a corresponding spot on the active roster, right-hander Kyle Hurt was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City, and outfielder Alek Thomas was designated for assignment to open room on the 40-man roster.

Miller had not appeared in a big league game since May 2025 after being shut down with shoulder soreness that wiped out his entire 2026 season. He began a rehab assignment in August and worked his way back up with seven appearances for Albuquerque, posting a 3.86 ERA, a 7.3 percent walk rate and a 30.9 percent strikeout rate over 14 innings.

Speaking with reporters after his activation, the 27-year-old made clear that health, not mechanics, has been the story of his season.

“It took longer than expected, but I’m just glad to be here,” he told SportsNet LA, adding that the back issues he dealt with bothered him more than the shoulder injury that officially sidelined him. He also said his arm now feels strong enough that he no longer has to think about mechanics once he’s on the mound.
