Dodgers pitcher Bobby Miller hit in the head by a line drive, walks off field under own power

Associated Press  

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Bobby Miller was hit in the head by a line drive on Thursday during the team’s spring training against the Chicago Cubs, but was able to walk off the field. The scary moment happened in the third inning when Michael Busch ripped a 105.5 mph liner that appeared to hit Miller on the right temple, where the hat meets the head. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said the ball “squared him up pretty good.” “He’s going to be under concussion protocol,” Roberts said. We’ve got to make sure he feels OK going forward.” The 25-year-old right-hander entered spring training in the mix for a spot in the starting rotation, though its unclear how long he’ll be out after Thursday’s injury.
