Brewers Scratch Jacob Misiorowski for Fatigue

The team says the precaution is meant to protect his season-long availability as Milwaukee faces depleted starting depth before the trade deadline.

Overview

  • The Brewers scratched Misiorowski from his scheduled start and said he will resume throwing on Tuesday, and he will not pitch in the upcoming Miami series or in the All‑Star Game.
  • Misiorowski has a 1.62 ERA with 167 strikeouts in 111 innings this season and has increased his four‑seam fastball from about 99.3 mph last year to roughly 100.5 mph in 2026.
  • The club and the pitcher described the issue as fatigue and emphasized it is a short‑term rest measure rather than a long‑term injury shutdown.
  • Milwaukee’s rotation is already thin with Brandon Woodruff on the 60‑day injured list, Kyle Harrison on the 15‑day IL, and Quinn Priester lost for the season, which makes Misiorowski’s availability especially important.
  • The Brewers may skip additional starts or move Misiorowski to the back of the rotation to limit innings, and the team’s lack of depth makes starting pitching a likely focus as the trade deadline approaches.
