Milner struck out two over a scoreless inning in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Milner made a sixth consecutive scoreless appearance to open the season. He's allowed three hits and walked one while striking out eight over seven innings.

EDGE Analysis

Tyler Mahle was lifted in the second inning after tossing 61 pitches, and the Rangers turned to its bullpen for the rest of Saturday's contest. Milner was called into the fourth inning to record the final round, and he was able to get out of the fifth inning unscathed after giving up a walk and a single. He tossed 27 pitches Saturday (18 for strikes), but given the Rangers used five relievers out of the bullpen, he may be called upon in Sunday's series finale.

The Rangers signed Milner to a one-year deal Thursday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Milner will head to Texas after spending the last four seasons with the Brewers, most recently producing a 4.73 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with 64 strikeouts over 64.2 innings in 61 appearances with Milwaukee in 2024. The left-hander is just one season removed from a 2023 campaign in which he had an impressive 1.82 ERA and 0.96 WHIP with 59 punchouts over 64.1 innings in 73 appearances with the Brewers and he'll look to get back closer to that form in 2025 with the Rangers.

The Brewers non-tendered Milner on Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After a dominant 2023 campaign that saw Milner put up a 1.82 ERA and 0.96 WHIP, Milner's performance declined drastically, as he finished the 2024 regular season with a 4.73 ERA and 1.19 WHIP through 64.2 innings. The 33-year-old should still be able to attract attention from teams in need of bullpen depth, though his days of working in high-leverage situations are likely behind him.

The Brewers activated Milner (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Milner recently made two scoreless rehab appearances to clear the way for his return to the Brewers' bullpen. He has been sidelined since mid-August due to a left shoulder impingement.

EDGE Analysis

He would then make another appearance Sunday and could be activated after that. Milner has been sidelined since mid-August with a left shoulder impingement.

The Brewers placed Milner on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a left shoulder impingement.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear when the injured surfaced for Milner, but manager Pat Murphy noted that the southpaw was experiencing a loss of range of motion and strength, according to Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin. The injury likely contributed to Milner's recent struggles, as he had surrendered five runs over two frames in his last two outings. The left-hander will be eligible to be reinstated in late August, though it's unclear how long he's expected to be sidelined.

Milner will start Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander will make the first start of his MLB career Tuesday before turning things over to primary pitcher Bryse Wilson after an inning or two. Milner has struggled in his past six outings with nine earned runs allowed after posting a 2.87 ERA in his first 30 appearances of the campaign.

Milner walked one and struck out two batters in one inning Friday. He earned a save against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Milner took the mound with a 2-1 lead in the 10th inning and finished off the contest despite facing a first-and-third threat. It was the 33-year-old's first career MLB save. He's produced a 7:3 K:BB with a 4.15 ERA through 8.2 innings this season,. Milner still appears to be outside the Brewers' main closer committee at this time.

The Brewers and Milner avoided arbitration Wednesday by agreeing to a one-year, $2.05 million contract, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Milner had been eligible for arbitration for the second time. The left-handed reliever is coming off his best season in the big leagues, having collected a 1.82 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 59:13 K:BB over 64.1 innings. Milner should be the primary left-handed setup man ahead of closer Devin Williams in 2024.
