The San Diego Padres place closer Mason Miller on the postseason paternity list before Game 3 of the NLDS against the Milwaukee Brewers. The move makes Miller unavailable for the team’s win-or-go-home matchup.
MLB adds Miller to the postseason paternity list ahead of the Tuesday night game. Multiple outlets report that the Padres respond by adding another reliever, Wandy Peralta, to the roster in Miller’s place. The sources also note Miller’s regular-season impact: he records 38 saves and is listed among MLB’s top closers.
While coverage aligns on the timing and roster consequence, some outlets emphasize the high-stakes nature of the elimination scenario. Other reports focus more on MLB’s announcement process and the specific roster update. Overall, all accounts describe the same event: Miller’s absence for Game 3 due to his placement on the postseason paternity list.
