Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Caps off dominant month of May
Rotowire
Misiorowski (6-2) earned the win Sunday against the Astros, allowing no runs on three hits and no walks in seven innings. He struck out eight.
The Astros had no answers for the hard-throwing right-hander Sunday, mustering just three knocks (one double). Misiorowski put a bow on an incredible month of May in the process, during which he registered five scoreless starts in six outings en route to producing a microscopic 0.23 ERA, 0.52 WHIP and 57:6 K:BB covering 38.1 innings. He boasts a 1.65 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 108:19 K:BB over 71 frames overall, but Misiorowski's dominance is set to be tested next weekend in Colorado against the Rockies.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Tosses another gem Tuesday
Rotowire
Misiorowski (4-2) earned the win Tuesday against the Cubs, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out eight over six scoreless innings.
Misiorowski continued his dominant run through May, throwing 53 of his 74 pitches for strikes while generating 12 whiffs on 36 swings against Chicago's lineup. The hard-throwing right-hander has now gone four straight starts without allowing a run, covering 24.1 innings with a dominant 37:5 K:BB during that stretch. His elite strikeout ability continues to separate him from the rest of the league, as he now leads MLB with 88 strikeouts while carrying an absurd 39.6 percent strikeout rate. On the season, Misiorowski owns a sparkling 1.89 ERA and 0.88 WHIP across 57 innings and will look to stay hot in his next scheduled start against the Cardinals.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Battling quad cramps
Rotowire
Misiorowski left his start Wednesday against the Padres due to quad cramping, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Misiorowski's quad began to bother him while he was warming up for the eighth inning, and manager Pat Murphy opted not to push things after the 24-year-old had already made it through seven frames for the first time this season. Misiorowski has now thrown 18.1 consecutive scoreless innings to begin the month of May and owns a 29:4 K:BB across his last three starts. Assuming his next start doesn't get pushed back, he's lined up to face the Cubs at Wrigley Field early next week.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Leaves game with trainer
Rotowire
Misiorowski was removed from Wednesday's game against the Padres with a possible leg injury, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Misiorowski struck out 10 batters over seven shutout innings Wednesday. He returned to the mound to prepare for the eighth inning but seemingly tweaked his leg while warming up and was pulled in favor of a reliever. The hard-throwing righty walked off the field under his own power and didn't seem to be in pain while doing so, so his removal may have been precautionary. More details on his status will likely come after the game.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Strikes out 11 in dominating win
Rotowire
Misiorowski (3-2) picked up the win over the Yankees on Friday, allowing two hits and two walks with 11 strikeouts across six scoreless innings.
Misiorowski made his first start since leaving last Friday's outing against the Nationals early with hamstring cramps. He had his start pushed back this week due to Tuesday's rainout in St. Louis, and the extra rest had Misiorowski looking as dialed in as ever against one of baseball's top offenses. Misiorowski mowed the Yankees down in order in the first inning on 10 pitches, all fastballs of 102-plus miles per hour. In total, 41 of Misiorowski's 95 pitches were 100 mph or faster. It was truly a dominant outing for the right-hander, who possesses some of the best stuff in the sport. Through eight starts, Misiorowski owns a 2.45 ERA and 70:17 K:BB across 44 innings.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Taking hill Friday vs. Yankees
Rotowire
Misiorowski (hamstring) will start Friday's series opener versus the Yankees at American Family Field, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Despite making an early exit in his most recent outing last Friday against the Nationals due to a hamstring cramp, Misiorowski was able to go through his typical between-starts regimen and appeared on track to take the hill on four days' rest in Wednesday's series finale in St. Louis. However, a rainout Tuesday resulted in all of Milwaukee's starters being pushed back a day, and with the Brewers off Thursday, Misiorowski is now lined up to start the series opener versus the Yankees. The 24-year-old righty will carry a 2-2 record, 2.84 ERA and 1.00 WHIP into Friday's start.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Remains on track for next start
Rotowire
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Tuesday in a radio interview that "all things look good" for Misiorowski (hamstring) to make his next scheduled start Wednesday in St. Louis, Adam McCalvy of MLB.comreports.
Misiorowski exited his last start Friday against the Nationals with a right hamstring cramp. However, he reported feeling fine after the game and was able to throw his normal between-starts bullpen session Monday. Barring a setback, Misiorowski should be in line for a normal workload against the Cardinals on Wednesday.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Throws bullpen session
Rotowire
Misiorowski (hamstring) threw a bullpen session Monday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Misiorowski was forced to exit his last outing Friday against the Nationals with a right hamstring cramp. All signs point to the right-hander making his next scheduled start Wednesday in St. Louis, but the Brewers will wait to see how Misiorowski bounces back from Monday's bullpen session before clearing him.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Strikes out nine in no-decision
Rotowire
Misiorowski didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Pirates, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk across six innings. He struck out nine.
Misiorowski has fanned at least nine in four of his six starts this season, and he continues to be a good source for punchouts even if he's not pitching super deep into games. The right-hander has worked at least six innings just twice in 2026, but he's yet to allow more than three earned runs in any outing this year. Misiorowski will carry his 3.31 ERA and 51:15 K:BB across 32.2 innings into a likely matchup against the Nationals on the road next weekend.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Let down by bullpen
Rotowire
Misiorowski did not factor into the decision in the Brewers' 9-7 extra-inning loss to the Blue Jays. He allowed two runs on five hits while striking out five across 5.1 innings. He did not issue a walk.
Misiorowski allowed just two baserunners over the first four innings before giving up home runs to Andres Gimenez and Daulton Varsho in the fifth and sixth, respectively. Misiorowski was still in line for the win despite the two long balls, but he came away with the no-decision after the Brewers' bullpen gave up seven runs, including three in each of the ninth and 10th frames. The 24-year-old right-hander has yet to give up more than three earned runs in a start this season (four starts), and he leads the majors with 33 strikeouts (across 21.2 innings). Misiorowski is slated to start this weekend on the road against the Marlins.

Misiorowski allowed one earned run over 3.1 innings in Sunday's spring game against the Mariners. He gave up two hits, struck out six batters and walked one.
Misiorowski struck out five batters over 2.0 innings in a matchup with the British national team last week, and he racked up six more Sunday while tossing 59 pitches. Misiorowski posted an 11.9 K/9 in his 2025 season, and he appears poised to continue racking up the punchouts.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: In line for bulk relief Thursday
Rotowire
Misiorowski is expected to follow opener Aaron Ashby as a bulk reliever in Thursday's NLCS Game 3 against the Dodgers, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Misiorowski has yet to pitch in the NLCS after tossing seven innings of one-run ball with a 7:2 K:BB across two NLDS appearances versus the Cubs. He will be on four days' rest after throwing 54 pitches over four frames in NLDS Game 5, so the hard-throwing right-hander should be prepared to provide plenty of length.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Pegged for relief role in NLDS
Rotowire
Misiorowski is expected to be used in a relief role by the Brewers in the NLDS, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
After a brilliant start to his major-league career, Misiorowski stumbled to the finish line, posting a 6.06 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 40:17 K:BB over his final 32.2 innings. That includes his lone appearance out of the bullpen in his final outing of the regular season, during which he was charged with two runs (one earned) with a 3:3 K:BB over 2.1 frames. The Brewers aren't sure which version of Misiorowski they're going to get, but his upside warrants a spot on the NLDS roster. Misiorowski could offer Milwaukee some length in the middle of games or be used as a late-inning weapon in a spot where a strikeout is needed.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Struggles in relief Saturday
Rotowire
Misiorowski did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Reds, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks with three strikeouts over 2.1 innings.
Misiorowski was called on with the bases loaded in the third inning and saw all three inherited runners come around before surrendering two runs of his own. After earning an All-Star nod just five starts into his career, the 23-year-old struggled down the stretch, posting a 5.36 ERA across 40.1 second-half innings. He'll close out his rookie campaign with a 4.36 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 87:31 K:BB over 66 major-league innings and is expected to stick in a bullpen role for the Brewers this postseason.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Yields four runs in no-decision

Misiorowski did not factor into the decision in Saturday's extra-inning win over the Cardinals, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four across five innings.
Misiorowski gave up home runs to Ivan Herrera and Brendan Donovan in the first and third innings, respectively, which made Saturday's contest just the second time Misiorowski has yielded more than one homer in a game this season. Misiorowski has yielded at least three earned runs in five of his last six starts, during which he's posted a 6.41 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 26.2 innings. He's lined up for a rematch against the Cardinals in St. Louis next weekend.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Records just four outs in return
Rotowire
Misiorowski did not factor into the decision in Friday's 10-8 win over the Reds, allowing five runs on four hits and three walks with three strikeouts over 1.1 innings.
Misiorowski clearly lacked command, throwing just 28 of 54 pitches for strikes and leaving the game with the bases loaded and one out in the second inning. The rookie All-Star's velocity was right in line with his season averages after missing two starts with a tibia contusion, suggesting rust more than anything else as the reason for his struggles Friday. He owns a 3.89 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 50:17 K:BB across 34.2 innings and will look to rebound in a road matchup with the Cubs next week.

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: 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: 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.
