“Certainly it was a very scary moment. From what I’ve gathered he’s gonna be under concussion protocol,” Roberts said.
“I don’t know what that means as far as going forward. Certainly it’s somewhat of a setback. … I don’t know how long this protocol lasts.”
The Dodgers are going to make sure they take care of Miller, who’s a competitor that would want to return as soon as possible. Miller is currently in a competition for the No. 5 starter spot in the Dodgers rotation.
Roberts provided more information about the scary moment in the top of the third inning.
“It was good to see him walk off the field. I don’t think we’re getting any X-rays right now,” Roberts said. “When I was on the mound, he didn’t express any pain. I think he’s going to kind of regroup, lay low.”
