Mason Miller makes his comeback for Game 4 in San Diego on Wednesday night, as the San Diego Padres aim to stave off elimination in their NLDS series against the Milwaukee Brewers. Miller, who was briefly on the paternity list, has been reactivated for the crucial match, leading to the removal of Wandy Rodriguez from the roster.

Prior to Game 3, the Padres found themselves in a precarious position, trailing the series 0-2. However, they managed to secure a vital win with a 4-3 victory, highlighted by a two-inning save from starting pitcher Michael King.

In Game 2, Miller faced a tough outing, failing to secure a two-inning save as the Brewers came back to win in walk-off fashion. Despite recording outs against the first four hitters, he struggled with control, walking three of the next four batters and giving up a two-RBI single to Jackson Chourio, resulting in a blown save and loss.

As he enters Game 4, Miller has had three days of rest, and he looks to reclaim his status as one of the league's top closers, having achieved 38 saves and a 1.67 ERA during the regular season.

Additionally, lefty Adrián Morejón, another key late-inning pitcher for the Padres, hasn't taken the mound since Game 1 due to a shoulder issue. Stammen expressed hope for Morejón's availability, stating, "There's definitely a chance [he pitches in Game 4]. We'll see."

With both Miller returning and the status of Morejón uncertain, the Padres prepare for a critical game that could determine their postseason fate.
