Manager Pat Murphy said Sunday that the best case scenario for Megill (elbow) is to return for Milwaukee's regular-season finale Sept. 28 against Cincinnati, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The best-case timeline, according to Murphy, would mean Megill would throw a bullpen Tuesday and live batting practice Friday. The timeline could be adjusted based on how the right-hander recovers from the throwing sessions, but that would mean he wouldn't return until the postseason. The Brewers are tracking toward a top-two seed in the NL, which would allow them to bypass the wild-card round and give Megill extra time to get healthy.
