Brewers Place Wade Miley On Injured List

By Steve Adams | July 18, 2023 at 4:20pm CDT

The Brewers placed left-hander Wade Miley on the 15-day injured list due to elbow discomfort and recalled righty Trevor Megill from Triple-A Nashville, per a team announcement. Miley tells Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that he’s not dealing with a ligament issue (Twitter links). Rather, he’s been pitching through bone spurs in his elbow. Miley has already received a platelet-rich plasma injection to help combat the pain, and manager Craig Counsell told Hogg and others today that the team is hopeful it’ll just be a minimal absence.

It’s the second IL stint of the season for Miley, who went on the injured list back on May 17 due to a lat strain. He was out until June 17 with that injury and will now be shelved again for a yet-to-be-determined period of time.

Miley, 36, has pitched to an excellent 3.06 ERA in 67 2/3 innings this season and was particularly sharp in between IL stints, logging a 2.08 ERA with a 22-to-10 K/BB ratio and 45.1% ground-ball rate in 26 innings across five starts. Overall, he’s fanned a well below-average 16.7% of his opponents in 2023 but also sports a strong 6.9% walk rate. He’s done a good job limiting hard contact (87.6 mph average exit velocity) and keeping the ball in the yard (1.06 HR/9) despite a homer-friendly home venue.

Miley joins righty Brandon Woodruff and fellow lefty Aaron Ashby on the injured list. Milwaukee figures to deploy Corbin Burnes, Freddy Peralta, Julio Teheran, Adrian Houser and Colin Rea in the rotation for the time being.

That could be a short arrangement, however. Woodruff is headed out on a minor league rehab assignment on Saturday, according to Counsell (Twitter link via Sophia Minnert of Bally Sports Wisconsin). Ashby is also trending toward a rehab assignment, Hogg tweets, though the plan for right now is to bring him back to the big leagues as a reliever rather than a starter.

If both Miley and Woodruff remain on track for returns sooner than later, the Brewers could well feel they have sufficient rotation depth. But there’s minimal depth beyond the current group — hence the earlier signing of Teheran, who’s been a staff savior in eight starts — so if either incurs any kind of setback it could prompt Milwaukee to look for additions between now and the Aug. 1 deadline.

    Just a brutal loss for the stretch run. Miley has really stepped up in light of Woodruff’s injury and Peralta’s regression.

    These poor guys can’t catch a break. I keep hoping the Brewers will get healthy and go on a run. As bad as the NL Central has been this season, the Reds and Brewers could still make it respectable over the last two months.

      What are the odds that the NL Central winner finishes at or below .500? (Of course, the AL Central winner also has a chance to pull it off.)

      “real Reds fans” = “You’re not a *real* fan unless you agree with me.”

      Actually, we should have kept Castillo. But that is a different conversation.

    I can recall many really good Brewers teams over the last 20 years or so. This doesn’t look like one of those teams to me.

    I give them credit for playing well and being in 1st. Hopefully they actually add to the team at the deadline instead of what they did last year. There are a lot of good Brewers fans they deserve better.

      You really have to look on the bright side because they no longer have Wong in his downward spiral – he’s the M’s problem now – or (and I’ll get a lot of hate for this) Keston Hiura’s travails to deal with.

        Turang doesn’t exactly look like a future all star at the moment.

        The pen looks pretty good. I guess that helps them win close games. I really haven’t followed the Brewers much this year for one reason or another. I suppose the new schedules have something to do with that.

    Welp, just about time to hit the eject button on Tehran. He had exactly 6 starts left in his arm. Thanks for the memories Julio

    Tough break, hopefully he gets healthy soon to help the Brew crew for the stretch run.

    How’s the Brewers pitching going to be after next season?

    They lose almost everyone.

    Is 2023 their last shot for awhile?
