MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee reliever Shelby Miller has been placed on the 60-day injured list with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, the latest setback for the Brewers’ injury-riddled bullpen.

The NL Central leaders announced the move Wednesday. Right-hander Joel Payamps was brought up from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move.

Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy said after Monday's 10-8 loss to Philadelphia that Miller “felt something pop in his elbow” while pitching in the eighth inning. Miller was immediately removed from the game.

The 34-year-old Miller joins All-Star closer Trevor Megill (right flexor strain), left-hander DL Hall (right oblique) and right-hander Grant Anderson (right ankle) as Brewers relievers on the injured list.
