Dodgers Sign Veteran Pitcher, Take Action on Struggling Bobby Miller Before Game Against Mets

A problem like this hasn't stopped Los Angeles from maintaining its lead in the NL West, having a 1.5-game lead on the San Francisco Giants.

While the injury bug hasn't been their best friend, they have leaned on some other guys to step up and contribute to one of the best teams in baseball's success.

Dodgers sign veteran relief pitcher Chris Stratton

Los Angeles has decided to sign right-handed relief pitcher Chris Stratton.

The 34-year-old Stratton has pitched in 12 games for the Kansas City Royals in 2025 before releasing him on Saturday.

In those 12 games, Stratton struggled, having a 7.94 ERA, 2.18 WHIP, and striking out 16 batters in the 17 innings he pitched.

With a new signee comes with them taking someone else's spot on the 40-man roster.

One of those players happened to Bobby Miller as he was demoted to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

Miller has struggled immensely this season in the two outings he's played in.

He made his 2025 debut on April 16 against the Colorado Rockies, but it didn't go as planned. The right-hander gave up eight hits, six earned runs and two home runs in just three innings.

Afterward, Los Angeles gave Miller time to regroup before bringing him out of the bullpen on Saturday.

His struggles continued as he allowed three hits and one run over two innings in the 5-2 loss to the New York Mets.

Los Angeles will look to give Miller some more time in Triple-A before deciding one what his plan is for the rest of the season.

The move will give the veteran Chris Stratton a chance at producing for a new team in 2025.
