Dodgers Could Recall Former Top Prospect This Weekend For Coverage

Keibert Ruiz Recalled, Bobby Miller Scratched from Start

Ruiz Promoted, Miller Held Back

The Los Angeles Dodgers have recalled top prospect Keibert Ruiz from Triple-A Oklahoma City, while Bobby Miller has been scratched from his scheduled start due to the team's need for coverage this weekend.

Ruiz, a 23-year-old catcher, is considered one of the best prospects in baseball and is ranked as the Dodgers' top prospect by MLB Pipeline.

Miller, a 23-year-old right-handed pitcher, is also a highly touted prospect and is ranked as the Dodgers' No. 2 prospect by MLB Pipeline.

Miller's Scratching Not Injury Related

According to a source, Miller's scratching is not related to any physical issue.

The Dodgers are likely being cautious with Miller, who has been impressive in Triple-A this season, posting a 3.00 ERA in 12 starts.

The Dodgers have not yet announced who will start in Miller's place on Saturday.
