Overview

  • Misiorowski, 23, will make his major league debut on Thursday, June 12, against the St. Louis Cardinals at American Family Field.
  • Milwaukee cleared a rotation spot by shifting veteran starter Aaron Civale into a bullpen role and moving Brandon Woodruff to the 60-day injured list.
  • At Triple-A Nashville this season, Misiorowski posted a 2.13 ERA with 80 strikeouts in 63⅓ innings while averaging 97–98 mph on his fastball and touching 103 mph.
  • The Brewers have cycled through a dozen different starters this year due to injuries, creating an urgent need for another rotation arm.
  • Despite his electric velocity, Misiorowski issued 31 walks in Triple-A, underscoring ongoing concerns about his command and long-term role.
