Brewers Scratch Jacob Misiorowski From Start and He Will Miss All‑Star Game

The club said arm fatigue and a 'clunky' throwing session prompted extra rest to protect his health and rotation availability after the All‑Star break.

Overview

  • The Brewers announced Saturday that Misiorowski would be scratched from his scheduled Sunday start and that left-hander Robert Gasser would take the mound in his place.
  • Manager Pat Murphy said Misiorowski 'didn't recover well' from his July 7 outing and that the pitcher's throwing program looked 'clunky,' so the team opted for immediate rest.
  • Misiorowski said he will not be placed on the injured list and expects to rejoin the rotation after the All‑Star break, but he will not pitch in Tuesday's Midsummer Classic.
  • The 24-year-old has been one of baseball's best this season with a 10-4 record, a 1.62 ERA and 167 strikeouts in 111 innings while averaging a 100.5 mph four‑seam fastball.
  • Milwaukee has carried a large number of pitchers on the injured list this year so the club framed the move as conservative workload management to try to preserve Misiorowski's availability for the rest of the season and postseason.
