Star Closer Mason Miller Goes on Paternity List Before Padres Face Brewers in Game 3 of NLDS
MLB approved the move, and Wandy Peralta will replace Miller on San Diego’s NLDS roster while he is away for up to three days.
- On Tuesday, Major League Baseball approved the San Diego Padres' request to place All-Star closer Mason Miller on the Postseason Paternity List for the birth of his first child.
- Facing elimination while trailing 0-2 in the best-of-five series, the Padres must win Game 3 against the Milwaukee Brewers to extend their season.
- Left-Hander Wandy Peralta replaced Miller on the 26-man roster after the closer threw 40 pitches during Sunday's Game 2 loss to Milwaukee.
- Padres manager Craig Stammen said Miller's "loss of command" likely resulted from pitching beyond one inning, signaling potential bullpen adjustments ahead.
- Miller will remain away from the club for one to three days, potentially returning for Wednesday's Game 4 if San Diego wins Tuesday's elimination contest.
