Brewers Place Shelby Miller on 60-Day IL With UCL Sprain, Recall Joel Payamps

The veteran reliever will meet Dr. Keith Meister to determine whether he needs a second Tommy John surgery.

Overview

  • Milwaukee made the move Wednesday, which ends the 34-year-old right-hander’s 2025 season.
  • Manager Pat Murphy said Miller felt a pop in his elbow during Monday’s eighth inning against Philadelphia and was removed immediately.
  • The Brewers selected Joel Payamps from Triple-A Nashville to take Miller’s 40-man spot and rejoin the big-league bullpen.
  • Miller said surgery is a realistic outcome and that he will probably miss next season if it happens, which would follow his 2017 Tommy John procedure.
  • The loss further depletes a bullpen already without Trevor Megill, DL Hall and Grant Anderson, with updates including Megill set for a mound session Thursday, Anderson beginning a rehab stint Saturday and Hall targeting a possible late-September return.
