Los Angeles Dodgers pitchers and catchers are three weeks from reporting for the start of 2024 Spring Training, and the first full-squad workout at Camelback Ranch is scheduled for Wednesday, February 14.
But several players have been working out at Dodger Stadium throughout the offseason, and on Friday that group included Walker Buehler, Bobby Miller and Gavin Lux, among others.
In social media posts shared by the Dodgers, Buehler and Miller are seen walking to the bullpen together, and Lux completes drills at shortstop while wearing a brace on his surgically-repaired right knee.
Buehler also missed the 2023 season because of injury as he completed a rehab process from his second Tommy John surgery.

Also in the videos is Dalton Rushing, who Baseball Prospectus and Baseball America ranked as the top Dodgers prospect heading into the 2024 season.
Although Buehler is well into preparing for the new season, the Dodgers have suggested he will not be part of their Opening Day rotation due to being on an innings limit in 2024.
That could place more of an emphasis on Miller’s importance after he put together an encouraging rookie season. Miller went 11-4 with a 3.76 ERA, 3.51 FIP and 1.10 WHIP over 22 starts last year.
He impressed Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and teammates with continued maturation throughout the season, including learning on how to better channel his emotions when on the mound.
2024 Dodgers Spring Training
The Dodgers are playing a condensed Spring Training schedule this year due to opening the 2024 season with the Seoul Series in South Korea.
After facing the San Diego Padres for two games internationally, the Dodgers return stateside for the exhibition Freeway Series from March 24-26.
The Dodger Stadium opener is March 28.
