Bobby Miller's girlfriend Natalie praises him after Dodgers pitcher suffered brutal head injury
On Thursday, Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Bobby Miller was hit on the head by a powerful line 106- mph drive from Chicago Cubs first baseman Michael Busch during the Cactus League opener at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Arizona.
The right-handed pitcher immediately collapsed to the ground, clutching his head and rubbing the top of it. His teammates gathered around him while he kneeled on the field. Miller managed to walk off the field under his power and later reassured fans about his condition. He expressed gratitude, stating:
"Thank you to everyone who has reached out. Really means a lot. Scary moment. I’m good! All praise to the man above. Can’t wait to get back on the mound, “ posted on X.
Miller’s girlfriend Natalie Loureda later responded on her Instagram account, calling him "my gladiator."
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Miller had a mild headache on Friday but was otherwise doing well. He also joked with him, saying he had a “strong head,” according to the Los Angeles Times.
The Dodgers started their 2025 Cactus League with a 12-4 loss to the Cubs, the same team they will play in their regular season opener in Tokyo next month.
