Robert Miller: Everything you need to know

Miller (shoulder/back) will resume throwing off the mound this week, Cody Snavely of DodgersBeat.com reports. Miller suffered a right shoulder injury early on in spring training, and he revealed Tuesday that he then dealt with a back injury that slowed his throwing progression. However, Miller noted that he's progressed well since then and is "getting stronger and stronger." Miller's career has been sidetracked by injury and poor performance the last two years, and it's unclear whether the Dodgers will have him work as a starter or reliever at Triple-A Oklahoma City once he's ready to report there. He was moved to the bullpen last July at OKC but held a 5.52 ERA and 31:20 K:BB over 31 innings in a relief role.

The Dodgers placed Miller (shoulder) on the 60-day injured list Monday. Miller was slowed by shoulder soreness this spring, and the injury is evidently bad enough that the Dodgers opted to go ahead and put him on the 60-day IL. The righty converted to a relief role in the minors last season and is surely headed back to Triple-A Oklahoma City once he returns to full health.

Miller (shoulder) threw off a mound Tuesday, Jack Harris of the California Post reports. It's the first time throwing from the bump this spring for Miller, who has been battling right shoulder soreness. As long as he continues to progress, Miller should be able to get into some Cactus League games later this month. The righty is ticketed for Triple-A Oklahoma City once he's fully healthy.
