Brewers Weigh Bullpen Role for Jacob Misiorowski After Clinching Postseason Berth

Milwaukee plans to carry the rookie in October, eyeing a trial in middle relief.

Overview

  • Manager Pat Murphy said shifting Misiorowski to the bullpen is "certainly a consideration" for the playoffs.
  • Murphy confirmed the rookie will be on the postseason roster but not deployed in the eighth or ninth innings.
  • Misiorowski’s recent slide includes a 9.58 ERA in August and a 4.50 ERA across four September starts.
  • Early frames have been problematic, with a 5.94 ERA and a 14% walk rate over the first two innings.
  • With a berth secured, the Brewers may test him in relief this week, while insisting he remains a long-term starter.
