Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Could make abbreviated start Friday
Rotowire
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Tuesday that Misiorowski (tibia) could return from the 15-day injured list to make an abbreviated start Friday in Cincinnati, Hunter Baumgardt of 97.3 The Game reports.
A rehab start for Misiorowski on Friday is also a possibility. The Brewers have revealed their probable pitchers for Saturday (Quinn Priester) and Sunday (Jose Quintana) but are listing Friday as TBA. A decision on where Misiorowski will pitch Friday should be revealed soon. The rookie right-hander is working his way back from a left tibia contusion.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Could begin rehab assignment Friday
Rotowire
Misiorowski (tibia) is scheduled to throw a 30-pitch bullpen session Tuesday and could begin a rehab assignment as soon as Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Misiorowski last pitched on July 28, when he took a comebacker off his shin from Seiya Suzuki. He was diagnosed with a tibia contusion, and the rookie right-hander has experienced no setbacks. Misiorowski shouldn't require more than one rehab start, so it sounds like he has a chance to rejoin the rotation next week.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Could require rehab start
Rotowire
General manager Matt Arnold stated Monday that the team has yet to decide whether Misiorowski (tibia) will make a rehab start before being activated from the 15-day injured list, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Misiorowski was cleared to face live hitters over the weekend, firing around 60 pitches over three simulated innings. The flamethrower was placed on the 15-day injured list due to a bruised left tibia at the beginning of the month and initially believed he'd return after missing the minimum, but the Brewers appear to have no desire to rush the young hurler back. Next steps for Misiorowski should become clear later in the week.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Faces hitters Saturday
Rotowire
Misiorowski (tibia) threw roughly 60 pitches over three innings during a simulated game Saturday, Sophia Minnaert of FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin reports.
Saturday marks the first time Misiorowski has faced live hitters since he landed on the injured list Sunday with a bruised tibia. The Brewers haven't planned out next steps for the righty flamethrower, but he seems to still be on track for a return to the rotation when eligible Friday.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Throwing bullpen session Tuesday
Rotowire
Misiorowski (tibia) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The Brewers exercised caution in placing Misiorowski on the 15-day injured list over the weekend with a left tibia contusion. However, barring any setbacks, the prized young right-hander will be back in the big-league rotation when first eligible Aug. 15 in Cincinnati.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Aiming for minimum IL stay
Rotowire
Misiorowski (tibia) said he expects to miss two starts before returning to the active roster when first eligible Aug. 15, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Misiorowski's placement on the IL on Sunday came as a surprise after the Brewers had previously confirmed him as their starter for the contest, but the rookie right-hander acknowledged that he hadn't recovered as well as expected after being struck in the shin by a line drive in his previous start Monday. Assuming that the 23-year-old is able to continue throwing while he's on the shelf, his goal of returning in the minimum 15 days seems realistic. Milwaukee called up Logan Henderson to start Sunday, and he should be in line for another turn through the rotation next weekend versus the Mets.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Fans seven in no-decision
Rotowire
Misiorowski didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Cubs, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out seven.
Misiorowski continues to showcase dominant stuff, as he fanned at least seven in his third straight start, but he's struggled to work deep into outings. The rookie phenom has failed to fire at least five frames in three of his last four appearances, but he's conceded fewer than two runs in all but one of his first seven major-league starts. Misiorowski stills sports a 2.70 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 47:14 K:BB across 33.1 frames, and he'll try to provide more length his next time out this weekend against the Nationals.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Delivers dominant 12-K start
Rotowire
Misiorowski (4-1) was the pitcher of record in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Dodgers, striking out 12 while allowing one earned run on four hits and one walk.
Misiorowski began his evening by allowing a leadoff solo home run to Shohei Ohtani, but he was nearly untouchable thereafter. The first seven outs he recorded all came via strikeout, and he racked up 12 punchouts through five innings. Misiorowski threw 21 offerings of at least 100 miles per hour and recorded 21 whiffs on 91 pitches, good for a 23.1 percent swinging-strike rate. The rookie will head into the All-Star break with a 2.81 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 33:11 K:BB in 25.2 innings through his first five big-league starts.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Cleared ahead of second MLB start
Rotowire
Misiorowski (calf/quadriceps) is listed as the Brewers' probable pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.
Misiorowski made his MLB debut last Thursday against the Cardinals, but his outing was cut short when he slipped on the mound following his third pitch of the sixth inning. Fortunately for Misiorowski, he was able to avoid an injury, as the Brewers relayed afterward that he was contending with cramping in his right calf and quadriceps. Prior to exiting the game, the 23-year-old breezed through five-plus scoreless innings, striking out five and inducing 13 swings and misses on 81 pitches while allowing no hits and issuing four walks. Cutting down on the free passes will be essential to Misiorowski's emerging as a top-of-the-rotation arm for Milwaukee down the road, but the 6-foot-7 righty's premium heat -- he threw 14 pitches of at least 100 miles per hour in his debut -- provides a good foundation for him to find immediate success in the big leagues.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: OK after injury scare
Rotowire
Misiorowski spoke to the media after Thursday's start against the Cardinals and said he was feeling fine despite suffering an apparent leg injury, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Misiorowski was brilliant through five innings in his debut, not allowing a hit or a run. He was lifted one batter into the sixth frame after suffering an apparent ankle or leg injury, though the team clarified that it was just cramping. Despite the scare, Misiorowski should be ready for his next turn through the rotation.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Good news after exit
Rotowire
Misiorowski exited Thursday's start against the Cardinals due to cramping in his right calf and quad, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Misiorowski enjoyed an excellent big-league debut Thursday, holding the Cardinals scoreless and hitless across five innings. He left with an apparent ankle injury in the sixth, though the ultimate diagnosis appears to be more favorable. Misiorowski's status will still be worth monitoring prior to his next turn through the rotation.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Exits with ankle issue
Rotowire
Misiorowski exited with training staff after appearing to turn his ankle in the sixth inning of Thursday's game against the Cardinals, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Misiorowski went five scoreless innings in his major-league debut and didn't allow a hit while striking out five and walking three. He came back out for the sixth frame but suffered the injury during the first at-bat. The nature of the issue is unclear, but more details should emerge following the game.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Added to roster ahead of debut
Rotowire
The Brewers selected Misiorowski's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.
Misiorowski is set to make his major-league debut Thursday with a start against the division-rival Cardinals. The 6-foot-7 right-hander earned a call-up after collecting a 2.13 ERA and 80:31 K:BB over 63.1 innings with Nashville. Misiorowski has dealt with control problems at times in the minors, but he has big strikeout upside and warrants rostership in virtually all fantasy formats.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Coming up for MLB debut Thursday
Rotowire
The Brewers are expected to call up Misiorowski from Triple-A Nashville to make his major-league debut in a start Thursday against the Cardinals, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Misiorowski has some of the best raw stuff in the minors with a fastball that regularly clocks in the triple digits. Control has been a big issue at times, and he has issued nine walks over his last two starts at Nashville. The control has mostly been better this season, however, with the righty walking two or fewer in seven of his last 10 outings. Overall, Misiorowski has collected a 2.13 ERA and 80:31 K:BB over 63.1 innings with Nashville. The Brewers are unlikely to call him up to make just one start, so Misiorowski should get an opportunity to stick around with the big club for a bit.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Off to strong start
Rotowire
Misiorowski tossed 3.2 scoreless, no-hit innings of relief for Triple-A Nashville on Saturday. He struck out four and walked four.
The 23-year-old righty's second outing of the season looked a lot like his first, when he allowed one hit over five scoreless frames while recording a 7:3 K:BB in a start. Misiorowski -- one of Milwaukee's top pitching prospects -- has proven he can miss bats, posting a 12.6 career K/9 rate in the minors. He also owns a 5.8 BB/9 rate, however. Misiorowski figures to make his big-league debut at some point this season, but the Brewers are still hoping to see him display better control, and that could determine whether or not they give him a chance to start or use him out of the bullpen at the top level.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Reassigned to minors camp
Rotowire
The Brewers reassigned Misiorowski to minor-league camp Friday.
Misiorowski showed the good and the bad parts of his profile in his 7.2 innings this spring, striking out nine but walking five. The hard-throwing right-hander will begin the 2025 season in the Triple-A Nashville rotation and could make some starts for the Brewers this season, but a permanent shift to the bullpen remains a possibility if he can't throw more strikes.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Another stellar showing
Rotowire
Misiorowski gave up one earned run over 6.1 innings for Double-A Biloxi on Saturday. He allowed two hits and posted a 10:2 K:BB in the contest.
The 6.1 innings were a career high for Misiorowski, and the 10 punchouts were the most he has recorded in a game this season. Walks have been an issue for Misiorowski, but he has issued just five free passes in 20.1 innings over his last four starts, and that no doubt has contributed to the 2.21 ERA and 0.79 WHIP he has posted over that span.

Misiorowski threw six scoreless innings in a game with Double-A Biloxi on Wednesday. He allowed one hit and posted a 5:0 K:BB in the contest.
Misiorowski was tagged for a season-high six earned runs in his previous outing, but he bounced back in fine fashion by blanking his latest opponent while tossing a season-high six frames. Misiorowski has issued at least three free passes in eight of his 13 starts this season, but he is showing some improvement there, having walked only three total batters over his last three trips to the mound.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Making mark early
Rotowire
Misiorowski threw five scoreless innings in a game with Double-A Biloxi on Sunday. He allowed two hits and posted an 8:4 K:BB in the contest.
Misiorowski was tagged for four earned runs over 4.1 innings in his first start of the season, but he has allowed only three runs in 19.0 innings since, and since the start of that stretch he owns a 1.42 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 29:14 K:BB. The walk rate and a handful of wild pitches over the same span indicate the control could use some work, but opposing hitters are having trouble making contact against one of Milwaukee's top pitching prospects.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Resumes throwing
Rotowire
Misiorowski (arm) has resumed a throwing program, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Misiorowski didn't make an appearance after Aug. 15 due to right arm fatigue, but it would appear he's moved past that. The 21-year-old was one of the biggest pitching prospect breakouts in all of the minors in 2023, collecting a 3.41 ERA and 110:42 K:BB over 71.1 innings between Low-A Carolina, High-A Wisconsin and Double-A Biloxi. It's possible he could push to debut at some point in 2024 if he stays healthy and continues to progress.
