Miller's "Hard Head" a Good Sign After Line Drive Scare

Dodgers pitcher Bobby Miller is feeling much better after being struck in the head by a line drive during the first game of spring training. Manager Dave Roberts spoke with Miller, who reported only a lingering headache and a good night's sleep. Miller remains in concussion protocol after the 105.5 mph liner off the bat of Cubs first baseman Michael Busch hit him on the head Thursday. Roberts relayed that Miller was in good spirits, even joking about his "hard head.

​While Miller's positive attitude is encouraging, the Dodgers are taking his injury seriously. Remaining in concussion protocol means Miller will continue to be monitored closely for any delayed symptoms. The team will prioritize his health and well-being before he returns to the mound. Roberts' update suggests a positive initial assessment, but the team will undoubtedly proceed cautiously with their young pitcher's recovery.
