Padres lose biggest bullpen weapon to paternity list ahead of NLDS Game 3 matchup with Brewers

All-Star closer Mason Miller has been placed on the paternity list and will miss Game 3 of the NLDS against the Brewers, forcing the Padres to adjust their bullpen strategy. Miller, the team's dominant closer, threw 40 pitches in Game 2 and would have likely been available for save situations tonight. Pitcher Wandy Peralta will replace Miller on the active roster, but the Padres will need to rely more heavily on other relievers like Adrian Morejon, Jason Adam, Bradley Rodriguez, and Yuki Matsui. The Brewers gain a significant advantage as they attempt to eliminate San Diego in Game 3.
