WADE MILEY NEWS

Dealing with shoulder soreness Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Saturday that Miley is dealing with shoulder soreness, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Murphy previously said Miley has a 50-50 chance at being ready by Opening Day, though the nature of Miley's injury had not been revealed at the time. Miley played catch Saturday without reporting any issues, but the Brewers will continue to build him up slowly given Miley's age and injury history. If the 37-year-old lefty is ready to go for the start of the season, he figures to follow Freddy Peralta as the second starter in the Brewers' rotation.

'50-50' to be ready for Opening Day Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Friday that Miley is "50-50" to be ready for the start of the season, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Murphy declined to go into specifics about what Miley is dealing with, adding only that "we'll let you know more in about 10 days." The 37-year-old has dealt with elbow and shoulder injuries each of the last two seasons, but it's not clear whether his current issue is related to his pitching arm. Miley was limited to 23 starts in 2023 but finished the season healthy. Losing the veteran left-hander would be a blow to a Brewers rotation that's already lacking depth.

Solid over five frames Wednesday Miley allowed one run on six hits and one walk while striking out two batters over five innings in a no-decision against St. Louis on Wednesday.

Impact Miley yielded a run in the second frame but otherwise kept the Cardinals off the scoreboard in another strong outing. The left-hander has given up one or zero runs in three of his past four starts, posting a 2.21 ERA over 20.1 innings during that stretch. Miley's 14:8 K:BB during that period isn't very impressive, but he's pitching well enough to be a solid option should the Brewers need a fourth starter in the playoffs. The veteran hurler finished the regular season with a strong 3.14 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 79:38 K:BB over 120.1 frames.

Impresses in ninth win Miley (9-4) earned the win Thursday over the Cardinals, throwing six shutout innings with seven strikeouts in a 6-0 victory. He allowed three hits and two walks.

Impact Miley stymied the Cardinals on Thursday, scattering just five baserunners across a marvelous six innings. He only allowed one extra base hit -- a double by Paul Goldschmidt in the first inning. The 13-year veteran easily had his best start since returning from an elbow injury Aug. 2. In nine starts since, Miley has gone 3-2 with a 3.43 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 31:18 K:BB over 47.2 innings.

Steadies ship for eighth win Miley (8-4) picked up the win in Friday's 5-3 victory over the Nationals, giving up three runs on five hits and two walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out three.

Impact All three Washington runs came in the first inning as it looked like Miley might get chased early, but the veteran southpaw settled down after that and came one out short of his ninth quality start of the season. Since rejoining the rotation at the beginning of August, Miley has posted a solid 3.89 ERA and 1.13 WHIP despite a weak 24:16 K:BB through 41.2 innings. His next trip to the mound will likely come next week in St. Louis.

Lasts just 3.2 innings Miley did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) on one hit and three walks over 3.2 innings against the Yankees. He struck out three.

Impact Miley retired 10 of the first 12 batters he faced but ran into trouble in the fourth after issuing a one-out walk to Gleyber Torres. Two runs would end up coming across for New York in the inning before the lefty was replaced by Elvis Peguero. Miley had gone at least five innings in five consecutive starts coming in and Saturday marked his shortest outing since May 16. He's now issued three walks in back-to-back starts and holds a 4.50 ERA in September to go along with a 7:6 K:BB.

Gives up four in loss Miley (7-4) took the loss Sunday, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks over 6.1 innings against the Phillies. He struck out four.

Impact Miley was cruising Sunday, holding the Phillies hitless until the sixth inning. However, he'd give up a run on a Nick Castellanos two-out double before surrendering a pair of homers in the seventh en route to an eventual 4-2 loss. The 36-year-old Miley had been pitching well for the Brewers, going 4-1 with a 2.77 ERA over his prior 10 starts. Overall, the left-hander sports a 3.33 ERA with a 1.14 WHIP and 64:30 K:BB across 19 starts (100 innings) this season. Miley's currently lined up for a road matchup with the Yankees in his next outing.

Picks up win with quality start Miley (7-3) earned the win over the Cubs on Monday, allowing two runs on four hits and no walks while striking out one batter over six innings.

Impact Miley served up a pair of homers in the contest, but they were both solo shots, and those were the only runs Chicago could manage against him. The left-hander got the job done by getting 11 of his 18 outs via grounders, making up for the fact that he tallied just four swinging strikes and one punchout. Miley's quality start was eighth in 18 outings this season, and he's compiled a strong 3.17 ERA and 1.14 WHIP despite fanning just 60 batters over 93.2 frames.

Middling against Twins Miley did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk over five innings against the Twins. He struck out four.

Impact After allowing more than two runs once in his previous eight starts, Miley surrendered three earned runs for a second consecutive outing Tuesday. He was tagged for a two-run homer by Christian Vazquez in the second frame, marking the southpaw's third straight appearance giving up a long ball. Despite a couple of hiccups, Miley's been a solid fantasy contributor post-All-Star Break, owning a 3-1 record and a 2.74 ERA across 46 innings. Miley's tentatively scheduled to take the mound next during a three-game road series against the Cubs next week.

Takes third loss Miley (6-3) gave up four runs (three earned) on seven hits and two walks while striking out two over five innings, taking the loss Wednesday versus the Dodgers.

Impact Miley had given up just two runs over 10 innings across his first two starts back from a left elbow injury. The 36-year-old southpaw had some trouble with the top of the Dodgers' order, and the Brewers were limited to three hits and three walks in the game. Miley is now at a 3.05 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 55:26 K:BB through 82.2 innings over 16 starts this season. He's tentatively projected for a home start against the Twins next week.

Quality start in no-decision Miley did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing one run on two hits and three walks over six innings against the Rockies. He struck out two.

Impact Tuesday marked the 300th start of Miley's 13-year career, and his only blemish came on a Nolan Jones solo homer in the fourth inning. The 36-year-old lefty recently returned from a stint on the injured list caused by elbow discomfort, and he's since surrendered just two runs through 10 innings while striking out seven batters and walking five. However, Miley will almost surely be tested during his next start -- currently scheduled to come against a Dodgers offense that boasts a .797 OPS on the season.

Strikes out five over four frames Miley did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over four innings against Washington. He struck out five.

Impact Miley pitched well in his return to the rotation, with the only damage against him coming in the third inning when he allowed a leadoff double to Alex Call to open the frame, followed by an RBI single to Jake Alu. The left-hander then struck out three batters in the fourth inning before being relieved by Hoby Miner to open the fifth. Miley has allowed just one run over his last 10 innings of work to go along with a 13:5 K:BB.

Brewers activate Wade Miley from injured list and send Owen Miller to the minors

The Milwaukee Brewers have activated left-hander Wade Miley from the 15-day injured list and optioned utilityman Owen Miller to Triple-A Nashville

AUGUST 2, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Makes return from IL The Brewers reinstated Miley (elbow) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday in Washington.

Impact Milwaukee reopened a spot in its rotation for Miley a few days earlier, when the team placed Julio Teheran (hip) on the 15-day IL. Miley ended up missing just over the minimum 15 days due to left elbow discomfort, but he appears to have responded well to a platelet-rich plasma injection and didn't require a rehab assignment prior to being activated. Miley should be in store for close to a normal workload as he makes his 14th start of the season Wednesday.

Rejoining rotation Wednesday The Brewers will reinstate Miley (elbow) from the 15-day injured list and have him start Wednesday in Washington, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Miley will be making his return from the IL two days after the minimum 15 days, taking the rotation spot of Julio Teheran (hip), who was placed on the IL on Sunday. After receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection to treat bone spurs in his elbow, Miley made a speedy recovery and didn't require a minor-league rehab assignment. The Brewers could still elect to be somewhat conservative with Miley's workload Wednesday, but he'll nonetheless have a good chance at covering the five innings necessary to qualify for a win.

Minimum stay possible Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Tuesday that the team is feeling optimistic about Miley's elbow injury, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Miley has been dealing with bone spurs during his last few starts and received a PRP injection immediately after his most recent start July 9 against the Reds. The Brewers haven't felt a need for imaging on Miley's elbow, which is a good sign that he could return after a minimal IL stint.

JULY 18, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Lands on 15-day IL Miley was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday due to left elbow discomfort.

Impact Miley last pitched July 9 against the Reds and picked up the win after firing six shutout innings, but there had been no word of any injury until Monday. The move is retroactive to Friday, so he'll be eligible for activation beginning July 29. Colin Rea is the likely candidate to make Miley's next scheduled start Tuesday against the Phillies.
