Shelby Miller Activated, Set for Brewers Debut

Shelby Miller has been activated from the injured list and is set to make his Milwaukee Brewers debut after being acquired from the Arizona Diamondbacks at the trade deadline. Miller, who had been sidelined with a forearm strain since early July, impressed during his rehab stint at Triple-A Nashville by striking out the side and reaching 97 mph. Before his injury, Miller posted a 1.98 ERA, 10 saves, and held batters to a .190 average over 37 games with Arizona. The Brewers also acquired Jordan Montgomery in the deal and plan to use Miller in a high-leverage bullpen role to support closer Trevor Megill. Miller, an All-Star in 2015, previously spent time in the Brewers' minor league system, but this will be his first Major League appearance for Milwaukee. His addition comes as the Brewers begin a challenging stretch of 25 games in 26 days.
