The Brewers optioned Milner to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty has struggled since joining the Brewers' bullpen, posting a 5.91 ERA in 10.2 innings. Milner's 14:1 K:BB ratio has certainly impressed, though, so it wouldn't be shocking to see him back with the big-league club at some point this season.

The Brewers recalled Milner from Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
He'll take the spot on the 26-man active roster that belonged to Alec Bettinger, who was optioned to Nashville on Wednesday. Milner will give the Milwaukee bullpen with a left-handed option who's capable of working multiple innings.

Milner was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Milner spent three days on the big-league roster, allowing one run in a two-inning relief appearance. The move clears space on the roster for Christian Yelich (back) to return from the injured list.

Milner's contract was selected by the Brewers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Milner gives the Brewers an additional lefty in the bullpen, with Eric Lauer heading to the minors to stretch out as a starter in a corresponding move. Milner owns a passable 4.53 ERA in 55.2 career big-league innings, though his combination of an 18.2 percent strikeout rate and an 11.1 percent walk rate is unimpressive.

Milner signed a minor-league deal with the Brewers on Thursday that includes and invitation to big-league spring training.
EDGE Analysis
Milner was non-tendered by the Angels in early December after stumbling to a 8.10 ERA across 13.1 innings in 2020. He will now compete for a spot on Milwaukee's roster next spring.

Milner was non-tendered by the Angels on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old lefty has posted an ERA north of 7.00 in three straight seasons. He may need to accept a minor-league pact this offseason.

Milner (back) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Milner has been sidelined with right back spasms since Aug. 26, but he'll return to action after spending just over the minimum of 10 days on the injured list. The southpaw has been effective as a low-leverage reliever this season as he carries a 3.86 ERA and 0.71 WHIP over seven innings.

Milner was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with right back spasms, retroactive to Aug. 26.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old hasn't pitched since Aug. 20, so it's unclear when or how he sustained the injury. Milner had a strong start to the season with a 3.86 ERA and 0.71 WHIP through seven innings. Ryan Buchter was recalled from the alternate site to give the bullpen another southpaw.

The Angels selected Milner's contract Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Milner will provide the Angels with another left-handed option in the team's season-opening 10-man bullpen. The 29-year-old has made 55 career big-league appearances, posting a 3.40 ERA and 1.54 WHIP.

Milner will be part of the Angels' 60-man roster.
EDGE Analysis
Milner, who is not on the 40-man roster, received an invite to spring training this season prior to the shutdown. He appeared in just four games at the major-league level last season, but posted a 3.06 ERA with 12 saves in 50 appearances with Triple-A Durham. The lefty appears in line for a spot at the back end of the bullpen should summer camp go well.
