Overview

  • Misiorowski posted a 2.13 ERA, 80 strikeouts and a .172 opponent batting average over 63⅓ innings at Triple-A Nashville.
  • His fastball has topped out at 103 mph this season, routinely sitting in the high-90s.
  • Milwaukee has started 12 different pitchers this season after a spate of rotation injuries.
  • He is set to debut Thursday against the St. Louis Cardinals, potentially displacing Aaron Civale in the rotation.
