The San Diego Padres brought back pitcher Walker Buehler off the paternity list ahead of NLDS Game 3 against the Milwaukee Brewers, adding him to their postseason roster. His return fills a roster spot created by a separate paternity list move.

Closer Mason Miller was placed on the paternity list before the game, leaving San Diego without its top bullpen arm in an elimination matchup. Buehler slots into a Padres bullpen that now has to manage without Miller, who had been their go-to closer heading into the series.
