The Dodgers optioned Miller to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
The move comes one day after another poor start in which Miller surrendered four runs on seven hits and one walk across two innings against the Marlins. He's managed an ugly 8.52 ERA and 1.77 WHIP in a horribly disappointing 2024 campaign. The Dodgers have not yet announced a replacement for Miller's spot in the rotation.

Dodgers' Bobby Miller: Struggles continue vs. Marlins
Rotowire
Miller allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk across two innings in a no-decision Tuesday against Miami. He struck out two.
It was another rough outing for Miller -- the right-hander's now allowed 17 runs across 11.1 innings in his last three starts. His ERA is up to an ugly 8.52 on the year with a 1.77 WHIP and 52:30 K:BB across 56 innings. Miller would currently line up for a home start next week against the Padres, should the Dodgers elect to give him another look in the rotation.
Miller did not factor into the decision in a win over the Cubs on Wednesday, allowing six runs on five hits and four walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out two.
Miller got knocked around early, issuing back-to-back walks, followed by back-to-back singles with two outs in the first inning. He would surrender two runs in the frame before then going on to give up two long balls between the third and fifth innings. It marked Miller's second consecutive start in which he allowed at least six runs, and he's now given up multiple home runs in five of his last six outings. The right-hander's ERA now sits at an atrocious 8.17 for the season.
Miller (2-4) allowed seven runs on five hits and three walks while striking out eight over five innings to take the loss Wednesday versus the Angels.
Miller yielded a season-high three home runs, including Mickey Moniak's three-run blast in the first inning. This was the worst of Miller's four starts since he returned to the majors in mid-August. He's now at a 7.79 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 48:25 K:BB over 49.2 innings through 11 starts this year. He is reportedly pitching through a left knee issue, but it's not expected to cost him time. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Cubs, though Miller could lose his spot on the 28-man roster to Yoshinobu Yamamoto (triceps) when the latter makes his return to action Tuesday.
Miller (2-3) earned the win over the Orioles on Thursday, allowing three runs on two hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out three.
Miller kept the Orioles off the scoreboard through the first four innings despite issuing two walks in the third, producing three strikeouts over that stretch. He began to stumble in the fifth, however, hitting Eloy Jimenez with a pitch to open the frame before eventually coughing up a three-run shot to Colton Cowser. It was enough to earn the right-hander his first win since Mar. 29. Miller has lasted five or more innings in each of his last two starts, though he's surrendered at least three runs in four straight. Thursday also marked the sixth time in his last eight outings that he walked three or more batters.
