Right-hander Shelby Miller moved closer to his Milwaukee Brewers debut after he departed on a minor league rehab assignment to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.
Miller was moved from the Arizona Diamondbacks to the Brewers at last week's trade deadline in a deal that also brought left-hander Jordan Montgomery to Milwaukee. Miller is recovering from a forearm strain and has not pitched since July 5.
In 37 relief appearances this season, Miller is 3-3 with a 1.98 ERA. Over 13 seasons with nine different clubs, the 34-year-old is 50-69 with a 4.03 ERA in 291 appearances (133 starts). Miller was an All-Star in 2015 as a member of the Atlanta Braves.
