Overview
- The Brewers announced Saturday that Misiorowski was scratched from his scheduled Sunday start against the Pittsburgh Pirates and will not pitch in next Tuesday’s All-Star Game, with left-hander Robert Gasser taking the start.
- Manager Pat Murphy said Misiorowski “didn’t recover well” from his July 7 outing and that his throwing program was “clunky,” so the club is giving him extra rest rather than seeking imaging or placing him on the injured list.
- Misiorowski said he expects to be ready to pitch after the All-Star break and that he will not require a stint on the injured list.
- The 24-year-old has been one of baseball’s top pitchers this season, going 10-4 with a 1.62 ERA and 167 strikeouts in 111 innings, and he leads MLB starters with a 100.5 mph average four-seam fastball and the most pitches thrown at 100 mph or higher.
- Milwaukee’s decision reflects workload management with 12 pitchers already on the injured list and aims to preserve Misiorowski’s availability for the second half and a potential postseason run despite losing a marquee matchup and his All-Star showcase.
