Peguero was placed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday, retroactive to Sept. 17, with a right elbow effusion, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.
Analysis: It's unclear when the injury first surfaced for Peguero, but he hasn't pitched since he delivered 1.1 scoreless frames Saturday against Washington. The right-hander will miss the rest of the regular season but will be eligible to return in the playoffs, which the Brewers are undoubtedly hoping for given his 3.38 ERA and 21 holds in 59 outings this year.
Elvis Peguero Getting back on track
Peguero tossed a scoreless eighth inning in Monday's 12-1 victory over the Rockies.
Analysis: Peguero was preparing to enter the game with the Brewers ahead by only four runs, so don't let the fact that he worked in a blowout lead you to believe he is no longer part of Milwaukee's late-inning mix. Peguero gave up three earned runs twice in late July, but he seems to have righted the ship, allowing just one runner to reach base through three outings in August. He remains the top right-handed option in front of setup man Joel Payamps and closer Devin Williams.
