The Los Angeles Dodgers shook up their rotation following a 6-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies, optioning right-hander Landon Knack to Triple-A Oklahoma City and recalling Bobby Miller ahead of Wednesday’s game. The move comes after Knack’s latest start, where he allowed two runs on four hits over 1/3 innings, striking out two and walking two. Despite a solid showing, Knack departs with a 1-0 record and a.2 ERA across three appearances this season.
Miller, a former top prospect, returns to the Dodgers after posting a.2 ERA in three Triple-A starts. He’s set to make his season debut, essentially replacing Knack in the rotation. Miller’s comeback follows a turbulent campaign and a spring training injury that delayed his start this year.
Knack, who debuted with the Dodgers last season, had shown flashes of potential but struggled with consistency in his limited major league outings. Under MLB rules, he cannot be recalled for days unless there’s an injury, making Miller’s performance in the upcoming games even more critical for the Dodgers’ pitching plans.
With the Dodgers aiming to maintain momentum after their win over the Rockies, all eyes will be on Miller to see if he can stabilize the rotation and help the team continue its push through April.
