MILWAUKEE — Shelby Miller<\/a> is ready to help Milwaukee in its playoff push just over a week after the Brewers<\/a> acquired the veteran right-hander from the Arizona Diamondbacks<\/a> at the trade deadline.<\/p>\n

The NL Central-leading Brewers reinstated Miller from the injured list before their Friday night game with the New York Mets<\/a>. Miller came to Milwaukee along with injured pitcher Jordan Montgomery<\/a> for a player to be named or cash.<\/p>\n

Miller joins a team that just completed a 6-0 trip and owns the best record in the major leagues.<\/p>\n

“I live in Phoenix and stuff, so that’s probably the hardest part,” Miller said before the Brewers defeated the Mets<\/a> 3-2 on Friday night for their seventh straight win. “But coming to a team like this that’s right now the best team in baseball and the way the Brewers are playing, to come into a clubhouse and be a part of it is something special. After you get the initial shock, I’m super excited to be here and contribute however I can.”<\/p>\n

In other moves, the Brewers recalled pitcher Tobias Myers<\/a> from Triple-A Nashville and placed pitcher Logan Henderson<\/a> on the injured list with elbow inflammation. Henderson allowed one run over 4 1\/3 innings Sunday in a 14-3 victory over the Washington Nationals<\/a>, but he said he picked up the ball Monday and didn’t feel like his normal self.<\/p>\n

“The last few days, my elbow hasn’t been responding well, and it’s been more sore than normal,” said Henderson, who has gone 3-0 with a 1.78 ERA in five starts.<\/p>\n

Brewers manager Pat Murphy said after Friday’s game that Henderson’s imaging results were encouraging.<\/p>\n

“Better than expected,” Murphy said. “Doctors feel like it’s not anything with the UCL (ulnar collateral ligament). It’s a flexor strain, and he shouldn’t be out too long. … It was all good news.”<\/p>\n

Myers will start Saturday’s game in place of Henderson. Myers has gone 1-1 with a 4.30 ERA in eight games with Milwaukee and 2-5 with a 3.77 ERA in 12 starts with Nashville this season.<\/p>\n

Miller, meanwhile, was recovering from a right forearm strain at the time of the trade and last pitched in the majors on July 5.<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old Miller is 3-3 with a 1.98 ERA and 10 saves in 37 appearances this season. Miller said he has added more velocity to his fastball and brought back a sweeper that he hadn’t included as part of his repertoire last year.<\/p>\n

“I think just the stuff in general is better than it’s ever been,” Miller said.<\/p>\n

This is the well-traveled Miller’s second stint with the Brewers, but he never pitched a game the last time he was part of this organization. Miller signed a minor league deal with Milwaukee in 2020, but then decided to opt out of the pandemic-shortened season.<\/p>\n

Looking back on that 2020 decision Friday, Miller said he didn’t see a realistic path to reaching the big leagues that year and wanted to spend more time with his newborn son, Kyler.<\/p>\n

“First time being a dad, so my heart was just kind of in that moment more than it was in baseball,” Miller said. “Now he loves coming to the field. It’s crazy how it comes full circle.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MILWAUKEE — Shelby Miller is ready to help Milwaukee in its playoff push just over a week after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":56414,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":["post-56413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56413"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56413\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/56414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
