Gregory Mills: Everything you need to know

The Dodgers selected Mills' contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday. Mills will provide the Dodgers with a fresh arm in the bullpen after the team needed three relievers to cover the final six innings of Saturday's 7-2 loss to Atlanta. The 31-year-old righty received the promotion after logging a 3.26 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 28:7 K:BB in 19.1 innings for Oklahoma City.

Mills signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Monday, which includes an invitation to spring training, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports. Mills is searching for a return to the major leagues after missing significant time while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. He returned to the bump a season ago pitching for Triple-A Worcester, posting a 3.12 ERA and 1.29 WHIP with a 49:30 K:BB across 52.0 innings (seven starts). Mills will have the chance to compete for a bullpen slot after signing on with LA.

Mills (elbow) tossed 1.2 innings Tuesday in the Red Sox's 6-1 loss to Atlanta in Grapefruit League play, giving up one earned run on one hit and one walk while striking out one batter. Mills didn't pitch in either of the past two seasons after suffering from elbow soreness during spring training in 2023 and requiring Tommy John surgery later that summer. After a lengthy recovery, Mills seems to be healthy again, but he'll face an uphill battle to win a spot in Boston's Opening Day bullpen while he attends camp as a non-roster invitee.
