Overview

  • Miller left Monday’s game after feeling a pop in his right elbow; an MRI confirmed a UCL sprain and he was placed on the 60-day injured list Wednesday.
  • Saying a second Tommy John surgery is possible, Miller acknowledged he expects to miss 2026 and will aim to evaluate a 2027 return.
  • Milwaukee selected Joel Payamps from Triple-A Nashville to fill the bullpen spot; he was a key reliever in 2023–24, struggled early in 2025, and has recently shown improvement at Triple-A.
  • The relief corps remains taxed with Trevor Megill (flexor), DL Hall (oblique) and Grant Anderson (ankle) on the IL, with Megill slated for a mound session Thursday, Anderson beginning a rehab assignment Saturday, and Hall tracking for a late-September return.
  • Leading the NL Central, the Brewers head to Pittsburgh before Texas, where Miller plans to review his options with Meister.
