MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski was scratched from his Sunday start due to fatigue and is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday, but will miss the upcoming series against Miami.
- Misiorowski, a two-time All-Star with a 1.62 ERA and 167 strikeouts this season, is likely to be moved to the back of the rotation to manage his workload after throwing 103 pitches in his last start.
- Milwaukee’s pitching staff is already dealing with injuries, including Brandon Woodruff on the 60-day IL and Kyle Harrison on the 15-day IL, putting pressure on the team to maintain rotation depth.
- The Brewers lost their weekend series to the Pirates after Robert Gasser struggled in place of Misiorowski, highlighting the impact of the young ace’s absence.
- Misiorowski has increased his fastball velocity to 100.5 mph and added a 96 mph cutter, enhancing his pitching arsenal as he builds on a Cy Young-caliber first half.
