The Story in 60 Seconds

San Diego Padres closer Mason Miller has been added back to the National League Division Series roster for Game 4 against the Milwaukee Brewers. Miller returns from the paternity list following the birth of his first child, replacing left-handed reliever Wandy Peralta as the Padres attempt to stave off elimination while trailing the series 2-1.
