Bobby Miller Enters Concussion Protocol After Head Injury in Cactus League Debut

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Bobby Miller was struck in the head by a 106 mph line drive during the team's Cactus League opener against the Chicago Cubs, leading to his immediate exit from the game and placement in concussion protocol. Manager Dave Roberts described the incident as 'very scary' but noted that Miller was able to walk off the field under his own power, which brought relief to teammates and fans. Max Muncy and other players reported that Miller seemed responsive post-injury, even joking about the pitch that hit him. As a 25-year-old competing for a starting rotation spot, this injury poses a setback for Miller, who had expressed confidence in his performance during spring training. The Dodgers lost the game 12-4 against the Cubs, but the focus now shifts to Miller's recovery and return. An official timeline for his return remains uncertain as the team navigates his concussion protocol.
