He didn\u2019t have any fractures and had to go through a series of prescribed steps before he was cleared to get back on the mound.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAdrenaline really kicks in right then,\u201d Miller said. \u201cFall over, I didn\u2019t really know what I was about to feel. You don\u2019t feel it right away. It didn\u2019t knock me out or anything, I didn\u2019t lose any vision. I\u2019m just glad it didn\u2019t get me in the temple or the back of the head or in the front.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s always kind of been one of my biggest fears, taking a line drive to the head. Surprisingly, it wasn\u2019t as bad as I thought it would be. It kind of knocked me down, but I was able to walk off all right. Hopefully get back to action soon. It could have been a lot worse. I\u2019m really thankful for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers are anxious to get Miller back in a game. Manager\u00a0Dave Roberts\u00a0said the team would address where he is after the bullpen but he doesn\u2019t think Miller will be too far behind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s been that long as far as costing him, as far as his build-up,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cI\u2019m confident that the mindset, the mentality, the fear, he\u2019ll be able to manage. But I think that once he gets past this (bullpen session), it\u2019s more going to be on him and how his comfort level is.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander\u00a0Bobby Miller\u00a0returned to the mound for the first time Thursday since being struck in the head with a line drive.
