Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Shelby Miller will miss the 2026 season after elbow surgery.

Milwaukee Brewers right-handed pitcher Shelby Miller is expected to miss the entire 2026 season after undergoing surgery to repair his ulnar collateral ligament and flexor tendon. The 35-year-old, a pending free agent, felt a pop in his elbow during a September 1 relief appearance against the Phillies, leading to a UCL sprain and placement on the 60-day injured list. He had been acquired from Arizona in a mid-season trade, posting a 5.59 ERA in 11 games for Milwaukee after a strong 1.98 ERA in 37 appearances for the Diamondbacks earlier in the season. Miller, who previously underwent Tommy John surgery, has played for 10 MLB teams over 13 years, with a 51-69 record and 4.04 ERA. The Brewers, despite his absence, won a franchise-record 97 games, claimed their third straight NL Central title, and reached the NLCS before being swept by the Dodgers.
