Brewers activate Wade Miley from IL, send Owen Miller to minors

WASHINGTON -- Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Wade Miley came off the 15-day injured list Wednesday and utilityman Owen Miller was optioned to Triple-A Nashville.

Miley is scheduled to start when the Brewers close a three-game series at Washington. Miley, 36, has gone 6-2 with a 3.06 ERA in 13 starts for the Brewers during a season that has included two trips to the injured list. Miley was out from mid-May to mid-June with a left lat strain. He returned to make five starts before going back on the injured list July 17 with discomfort in his throwing elbow.

Miller, 26, has batted .264 with a .303 on-base percentage, five homers, 27 RBIs and 13 steals in 86 games for the Brewers. He owned an .876 OPS at the end of May but has struggled since. Miller hit .178 (13 of 73) with a .213 on-base percentage in July.
