Brewers Put Shelby Miller on 60-Day IL With UCL Sprain, Select Joel Payamps

Milwaukee turns to Joel Payamps with Miller awaiting a surgical decision.

Overview

  • Milwaukee announced the 60-day injured list move after Miller reported a pop in his right elbow and left Monday’s game in the eighth inning.
  • The team has not said whether Miller will undergo Tommy John surgery or an internal brace procedure; he previously had Tommy John in 2017.
  • Manager Pat Murphy said the loss further hits a bullpen already missing Trevor Megill, DL Hall and Grant Anderson.
  • MLB.com reported Megill is set for a mound session Thursday, Anderson starts a Triple-A rehab Saturday and Hall remains a late-September possibility.
  • Payamps, a key Milwaukee reliever in 2023–24 who struggled early this season before improving at Triple-A Nashville, was selected to fill Miller’s roster spot.
