Shelby Miller Undergoing Testing After Feeling "Pop" In Elbow

"The veteran Miller was a key bullpen pickup for the Brew Crew at last month's trade deadline, though he came with some health risk, given that he was on the injured list due to a forearm strain at the time of the trade. The cost of acquisition perhaps reflected that. Rather than send any prospects to the D-backs, Milwaukee instead took on Miller's contract and ate a reported $2MM of the roughly $7MM left on Jordan Montgomery's contract."

"Miller has pitched 9 2/3 innings with the Brewers and sports an unsightly 5.59 ERA, though that's a bit misleading. Prior to yesterday's outing, when he seemingly sustained this injury, he'd pitched in 10 games with the Brewers and held opponents scoreless in eight of them. The main blemish was a three-run hiccup against the Bucs on Aug. 13, but generally, Miller had been strong: a 3.72 ERA with a 14-to-4 K/BB ratio in those 9 2/3 frames."

"Brewers reliever Shelby Miller is headed for imaging after an ominous exit from yesterday's game, writes Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. Milwaukee skipper Pat Murphy said the 34-year-old Miller told the training staff he felt a "pop" in his elbow during yesterday's outing. The veteran Miller was a key bullpen pickup for the Brew Crew at last month's trade deadline, though he came with some health risk, given that he was on the injured list due to a forearm strain at the time of the trade."

Brewers reliever Shelby Miller is scheduled for imaging after he reported feeling a 'pop' in his elbow during an outing. Miller was acquired at the trade deadline while on the injured list with a forearm strain; Milwaukee assumed part of a contract instead of trading prospects, reportedly paying $2MM of Jordan Montgomery's remaining roughly $7MM. Miller posted a 1.98 ERA over 36 1/3 innings with Arizona before the trade. With Milwaukee he threw 9 2/3 innings, holding opponents scoreless in eight of ten appearances prior to the recent incident. The Brewers have also placed Trevor Megill and Grant Anderson on the injured list.
