The Brewers will reinstate Miley (elbow) from the 15-day injured list and have him start Wednesday in Washington, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miley will be making his return from the IL two days after the minimum 15 days, taking the rotation spot of Julio Teheran (hip), who was placed on the IL on Sunday. After receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection to treat bone spurs in his elbow, Miley made a speedy recovery and didn't require a minor-league rehab assignment. The Brewers could still elect to be somewhat conservative with Miley's workload Wednesday, but he'll nonetheless have a good chance at covering the five innings necessary to qualify for a win.

Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Tuesday that the team is feeling optimistic about Miley's elbow injury, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miley has been dealing with bone spurs during his last few starts and received a PRP injection immediately after his most recent start July 9 against the Reds. The Brewers haven't felt a need for imaging on Miley's elbow, indicating that they don't believe the damage to be severe enough to force an extended IL stint.

Miley was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday due to left elbow discomfort.
EDGE Analysis
Miley last pitched July 9 against the Reds and picked up the win after firing six shutout innings, but there had been no word of any injury until Monday. The move is retroactive to Friday, so he'll be eligible for activation beginning July 29. Colin Rea is the likely candidate to make Miley's next scheduled start Tuesday against the Phillies.

Miley (6-2) allowed four hits and three walks while striking out eight over six shutout innings to earn the win Sunday over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Miley posted his fifth scoreless outing of the season, three of which have come in his last five starts. The strong showing lowered his ERA to 3.06 with a 1.15 WHIP and 46:9 K:BB through 67.2 innings over 13 starts this year. Miley's next start will likely be on the road, either as a rematch in Cincinnati or in Philadelphia depending on how the Brewers order their rotation following the All-Star break.

Miley didn't factor in the decision Tuesday against the Cubs after he gave up four runs on nine hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran left-hander generated 15 swinging strikes but still surrendered a season-high nine hits, including four that went for extra bases. Miley went unscored upon in 11 frames during his first two starts in June after missing time with a lat injury, but he's now allowed six runs over nine innings across his last two outings. Miley won't make his next start until after the All-Star break if the Brewers continue to utilize a six-man rotation.

Miley didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Mets, giving up two runs on three hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran southpaw tossed 74 pitches (40 strikes) before exiting with the score tied 2-2. Miley left his last start due to cramping in his side, and while that didn't seem to be an issue Wednesday, he's now thrown 77 pitches or less in all three of his outings since coming off the IL in mid-June. He was efficient enough to last five frames and record the win in each of those first two June starts, but his margin for error is thinner if the Brewers continue to limit the 36-year-old's workload. Miley will take a 3.02 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 34:14 K:BB through 56.2 innings this season into his next trip to the mound, likely to come at home early next week against the Cubs.

Miley (side) is lined up to start Wednesday versus the Mets, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miley made an early exit from his last turn in the Brewers' rotation due to cramping in his right side, but it was never a serious concern. The veteran southpaw has tossed 11 scoreless innings since returning June 17 from a four-week absence to heal a left lat strain and boasts a 2.91 ERA through 52.2 total frames (10 starts) this year.

Miley (cramps) told reporters that the cramping issue that caused him to leave Friday's start versus the Guardians after six innings isn't considered serious, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. He picked up the win and threw six scoreless innings with three strikeouts before leaving.
EDGE Analysis
Miley told reporters that he started feeling the cramping after his last pitch in the sixth, and he and the team decided it wasn't a good idea for him to continue despite the six scoreless frames and needing only 67 pitches to get through the lineup twice. The left-hander should be able to make his next scheduled start, which is currently lined up for Thursday against the Mets.

Miley (4-2) earned the win over Pittsburgh on Saturday, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out four batters over five scoreless innings.
EDGE Analysis
Miley missed a month on the injured list due to a lat strain before being activated Saturday. The left-hander didn't seem to miss a beat, allowing just four baserunners over five breezy frames. Miley would have likely gone deeper if not for the lengthy layoff -- he threw just 77 pitches and retired 11 of the final 14 hitters he faced before getting the hook. The veteran hurler stuck around just long enough to get the win, his first since April 22.

The Brewers reinstated Miley (lat) from the 15-day injured list Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
A left lat strain forced Miley onto the injured list May 17, and the 36-year-old lefty will return exactly one month later to start against the Pirates. Miley holds a 7.82 ERA and 1.42 WHIP with just five strikeouts through 12.2 innings across his last three starts. To make room for Miley on the active roster, the Brewers optioned Tyson Miller to Triple-A Nashville.
