Miller took a shot to the head while attempting to field a blazing liner from Cubs first baseman Michael Busch. The 25-year old, who endured an injury-plagued 2024 campaign, exited the game under his own power. But he was worse for the wear, drifting into the dugout with a bulging battle scar as a result.

The Dodgers ace was on the mound when he was hit by a 106 mph come-backer in an exhibition game Thursday against the Cubs.
