Brewers' Miller exits game after feeling pop in elbow
Milwaukee Brewers reliever Shelby Miller felt something pop in his right elbow moments before being removed from Monday's game, manager Pat Murphy said following his team's 10-8 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com.
Murphy did not provide any further updates on Miller's injury or status.
Miller doubled over in pain after throwing a pitch to Max Kepler in the eighth inning Monday. It quickly became apparent that he couldn't continue, and walked off the mound alongside trainers.

A long-term absence for Miller would be another massive blow to the league-best Brewers' bullpen. Last week, Milwaukee lost closer Trevor Megill to a flexor strain. The Brewers signed Erick Fedde last week to add some back-end bullpen depth.
The 34-year-old Miller was making his 11th appearance with Milwaukee since being acquired from the Arizona Diamondbacks at this year's trade deadline. At the time of the trade, Miller was on the injured list with a forearm strain.
Miller owns a 2.74 ERA and 1.04 WHIP with 54 strikeouts across 46 total innings with Arizona and Milwaukee this season.
