Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
There is no other way to say it; Miller is going to be one of the most highly sought after pitchers in fantasy baseball this season after his successful rookie debut. He won half his 22 starts at the big league level showcasing elite velocity as well as six different offerings - five of which had at least a 20% whiff rate attached to them. It is impossible not to be excited about Miller's fantasy future as long as his right arm avoids the surgeon's table after watching so many talented pitchers run into that unfortunate future in recent seasons and especially last season. The only area where Miller could stand to improve is generating more strikeouts as his current production is not limited by his stuff but more by the fact opposing batters do not chase his stuff out of the zone. Once he is able to get hitters into protect mode more frequently, the sky is the limit for him. Miller's upside is staff ace, but it is unlikely he will provide the same volume of other aces in 2024.

Could return to throwing soon
Miller (shoulder) is hopeful to begin throwing again as soon as next week, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller was placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation Saturday, but the right-hander described the injury as "nothing too serious." Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that the team is optimistic Miller can return to throwing in the next 5-7 days. If the 25-year-old is able to get back on the mound as soon as hoped, his build-up would likely have to be minimal before he returns to the major-league roster.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Ride the wave
Miller owns a 1.15 ERA in his last three outings and is slated for a two-start week ahead.
ANALYSIS
Miller will likely face Boston and Cleveland in coming days. Boston ranks 18th in total home runs but third in team batting average, while Cleveland ranks last in all power metrics but strikes out the least of any team in baseball. Miller's 3.70 ERA aligns with his 3.73 xERA through 14 starts, symbolizing the reliability the 24-year-old brings to the table.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Miller's pure stuff and ability to miss bats has not been in question since he was drafted by the Dodgers at the end of the first round in 2020. Inconsistency has been an issue for most of his pro career, but he finished 2022 with his best run to date. From July on, the 6-foot-5 righty logged a 3.56 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and an 82:16 K:BB in 55.2 innings across 11 starts between Double-A and Triple-A. Even in this impressive stretch, Miller failed to make it out of the third inning in three of his 11 starts and he struck out double-digit batters in four of 11 starts, so inconsistency remains. However, when he was on, he looked like a potential high-strikeout No. 2 starter whose power arsenal (fastball/slider/changeup) should make up for imperfect command and mechanics. The Dodgers have fifth starter candidates Ryan Pepiot and Michael Grove on the 40-man roster while the more exciting duo of Gavin Stone and Miller remain off the 40-man roster entering the year. This may not be a meritocracy right away, and the team could still trade for or sign another starter to further crowd the picture.
