Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Punches out nine in no-decision
Rotowire
Misiorowski struck out nine but did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over 6.1 innings against the Cubs.
The flamethrowing righty surrendered a run on two singles and a double during the opening frame but locked in from there, generating 16 whiffs and tossing 64 of 93 total pitches for strikes in his 17th quality start of the campaign. It was a strong rebound from Misiorowski after he surrendered five runs to the Cubs during his previous start last week, while his nine strikeouts ended a run of four consecutive starts with six or fewer Ks.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Rare dud in no-decision
Rotowire
Misiorowski took a no-decision against the Cubs on Wednesday, allowing five runs on five hits and four walks in four innings. He struck out five.
It was a rare misstep for the National League Cy Young frontrunner, who coughed up a season-high five runs Wednesday. The outing stopped Misiorowski's streak of starts with three earned runs or fewer at 25, and the five punchouts matched a season low as well. Still, he responded well with two scoreless frames after Chicago jumped on him during the first two innings. He'll be looking to get back on track in a home rematch with the Cubs next week, still boasting a 1.97 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 227:39 K:BB over 155 innings.

Rotowire
Misiorowski (14-5) notched the win against the Mets on Thursday, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out six.
Misiorowski battled a slick mound at times at wet Citi Field on Thursday, but the rainy conditions didn't stop him from firing six strong innings. The All-Star right-hander extended his streak of quality starts to five, and he's now fanned at least six in all but one of his 25 outings on the year. He's set to take an outstanding 1.73 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 222:35 K:BB over 151 innings into a tough road assignment against the division-rival Cubs.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Dazzles in 13th win
Rotowire
Misiorowski (13-5) picked up the win in Tuesday's 2-1 victory over Atlanta, scattering four hits and two walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out six.
The 24-year-old right-hander came out on top in a battle of NL Cy Young contenders with Chris Sale. Misiorowski didn't allow a runner to get past second base, and he delivered his fourth straight quality start and 16th of the season on 96 pitches (55 strikes). Over six outings since the All-Star break, he's racked up a 3-1 record with a 1.85 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and dominant 49:6 K:BB over 34 innings. Miz will look to keep rolling in his next trip to the mound, which is set to come at home next weekend against the Rangers.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Tames champs for 12th victory
Rotowire
Misiorowski (12-5) earned the win over the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out six batters over six innings.
Misiorowski set the tone quickly, leading off his outing by firing six straight fastballs of over 102 mph to Shohei Ohtani, who ultimately popped out. Ohtani got some revenge with an RBI triple in the third, but that was the only run Misiorowski ended up allowing. The All-Star hurler finished with a modest (for him) six punchouts, but not for a lack of swing-and-miss stuff -- he induced 17 whiffs over 98 total pitches. Misiorowski has now logged three consecutive quality starts, though this was his first victory during that span. He continues to lead qualified MLB pitchers by wide margins with a sterling 1.75 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 210 punchouts to further strengthen his already-strong case for his first Cy Young Award.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Gets no help in loss
Rotowire
Misiorowski (11-5) allowed two runs on two hits and a walk while striking out 10 over seven innings to take the loss versus the Angels on Sunday.
Unfortunately for Misiorowski, two of the baserunners he allowed were in the second inning, when Wade Meckler took him deep. The Brewers put 10 on base but couldn't scrape together any run support for their ace, who logged double-digit strikeouts for the 10th time this season. Misiorowski was also efficient, throwing 66 of 83 pitches for strikes, matching his pitch count from his last start. The star right-hander is at a 1.63 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 195:29 K:BB through 127 innings over 21 starts this season. His next start is projected to be against the Twins.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Set to start Sunday
Rotowire
Misiorowski will start Sunday's game against the Rockies, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.
The flamethrowing right-hander wasn't initially listed among Milwaukee's probable pitchers for this weekend, but he'll end up taking his regular turn through the rotation Sunday. Misiorowski covered just four frames Monday against the Mets in his return from a bout of arm fatigue, with manager Pat Murphy indicating that the 24-year-old was still getting his legs back under him in his first start since July 7. Misiorowski may have a shorter leash going forward after having a heavy first-half workload, though he seems likely to work beyond the 65 pitches he was limited to Monday.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Not making another start this week
Rotowire
Misiorowski is not listed among the Brewers' probable pitchers for this weekend's series at home against the Rockies, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Misiorowski returned from a nearly two-week absence with arm fatigue on Monday versus the Mets, allowing just one unearned run over four innings and getting lifted after just 65 pitches. The Brewers plan to closely monitor Misiorowski's workload in the second half, as he is just 26.1 innings shy of last year's total from the minors, majors and postseason combined. Manager Pat Murphy has indicated the team will "lean more towards" pulling Misiorowski early from outings rather than skipping them, per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. However, the team will also buy the hurler extra rest whenever possible, which it will do this weekend in moving Brandon Sproat ahead of Misiorowski to start Sunday. Misiorowski's next outing could come as soon as Monday in San Francisco.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Held to just four innings Monday
Rotowire
Misiorowski allowed an unearned run over four innings in a no-decision against the Mets on Monday, allowing four hits and walking one batter while striking out six.
Misiorowski hadn't pitched since July 7 coming into Monday, as a bout of arm fatigue resulted in him missing his final scheduled start before the All-Star break. The flamethrowing righty put up great numbers in his return to the mound against New York, yielding just an unearned run and notching 16 whiffs, but he was pulled after 65 pitches. Manager Pat Murphy said prior to the contest that the team was planning to shorten some of Misiorowski's starts in the second half, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and Murphy also said after the contest that the hurler was "a little bit out of it" and affected by the long layoff while also suggesting that Misiorowski didn't quite have his legs under him, according to Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee. The good news is that Misiorowski's arm didn't seem to be the issue, but it sounds like the All-Star pitcher will be carefully monitored by Milwaukee moving forward.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Cleared to start Tuesday
Rotowire
Misiorowski (arm) will start Tuesday's game against the Mets, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 MIlwaukee reports.
Misiorowski missed his final turn through the rotation prior to the All-Star break due to arm fatigue, but after getting an opportunity to rest during the intermission and for Milwaukee's weekend series against Miami, he's been officially cleared to return to the rotation. The 24-year-old flamethrower is firmly in contention for the National League Cy Young Award after posting a 1.62 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 167:27 K:BB through his first 18 starts, but Milwaukee could continue to limit his workload for the rest of the season as he trends toward surpassing his career-high innings total by a wide margin.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Likely to pitch during Mets series
Rotowire
Misiorowski (arm) is likely to make a start during next week's series against the Mets, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.
Misiorowski had some right arm fatigue following his July 7 start in St. Louis, preventing from taking his final turn in the rotation the Sunday before the All-Star break. The Brewers elected to extend Misiorowski's rest by not scheduling him to start this weekend versus the Marlins, but he's in line to take the ball early next week. Between the bout with arm fatigue and a career-high innings pace, Misiorowski's workload will likely be monitored carefully by the Brewers in the second half.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Not available to start next weekend
Rotowire
Misiorowski (arm) is expected to resume throwing Tuesday but won't make a start next weekend against the Marlins in the Brewers' first series coming out of the All-Star break, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Misiorowski had been lined up to start the final game before the break Sunday in Pittsburgh, but the Brewers opted to scratch him after he experienced some arm fatigue after his previous appearance Tuesday. While the right-hander doesn't appear to be dealing with anything overly concerning, the team will use break as a way to build in some extended rest for their young ace. After covering 141.1 innings between Triple-A and the majors during the regular season and playoffs in 2025, the 24-year-old is well on his way to soar past that mark, as he's tossed 111 innings through his first 18 starts of 2026. Misiorowski appears likely to make his next start during the Brewers' three-game home series with the Mets, which begins July 20.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Won't start Sunday due to fatigue
Rotowire
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Misiorowski won't pitch in Sunday's series finale against the Pirates after experiencing some right arm fatigue coming out of his previous start Tuesday, Sophia Minnaert of Brewers.tv reports.
Misiorowski didn't appear to be suffering from any sort of injury Tuesday, when he earned a win over the Cardinals after allowing three runs on three hits while striking out 11 across seven innings. The Brewers are likely just looking to build in some rest for Misiorowski, who said that he'll be ready for the first or second series after the All-Star break, per Minnaert. Including the postseason, Misiorowski threw a career-high 141.1 innings between Triple-A and the majors in 2026, so it's not surprising the Brewers are trying to provide him some extra rest. Robert Gasser will draw the start in Misiorowski's stead Sunday.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Fans 11 in win No. 10
Rotowire
Misiorowski (10-4) picked up the win in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader sweep of the Cardinals, giving up three runs on three hits over seven inning. He struck out 11 without walking a batter.
All three hits off Misiorowski went for extra bases, including a first-inning homer by Jordan Walker and a third-inning blast by Ivan Herrera, but the flame-throwing righty got just enough run support to collect the win. The quality start was his 12th of the year, while the double-digit strikeout game was his eighth, fueling his MLB-leading 167 Ks in 111 innings -- 30 strikeouts ahead of second-place Dylan Cease and Cristopher Sanchez. Misiorowski is currently scheduled to work the Brewers' final game before the All-Star break, on the road Sunday in Pittsburgh, which would take him out of the running to get the start for the National League in the Midsummer Classic.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Falls to Cincinnati
Rotowire
Misiorowski (9-4) took the loss Thursday against the Reds, allowing five runs (one earned) on five hits across five innings. He struck out 10.
While Misiorowski logged double-digit strikeouts for the seventh time this year, he gave up a season-high five runs (albeit just one was earned) in an eventual 7-2 defeat. Misiorowski surrendered a solo homer to Sal Stewart in the first inning before the Reds tacked on four unearned runs in the fourth, capped by a Jose Trevino three-run shot. Misiorowski still leads all qualified pitchers in ERA (1.47), WHIP (0.78) and strikeouts (156) through 17 starts (104 innings) this season. He'll look to get back in the win column his next time out, currently scheduled to come on the road in St. Louis.

Rotowire
Misiorowski (8-3) took the loss against Atlanta on Friday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over six innings.
Misiorowski opened with five scoreless frames before running into trouble in the sixth, loading the bases and eventually allowing two runs on a two-out single. While it marked the first time since April 25 that he surrendered more than one earned run in an outing, the 24-year-old still extended his quality-start streak to eight games. He'll carry a 1.45 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 138:23 K:BB across 93 innings this season into a home matchup with the Cubs next weekend.

The only baserunner the flamethrowing righty allowed came on a fourth-inning single by Kyle Schwarber, who was then wiped out by a double play. Misiorowski was dominant in every sense of the word, throwing 74 of 95 pitches for strikes while generating a whopping 26 whiffs. The 24-year-old has surrendered just one earned run and 19 hits over his past eight starts (54.1 innings), and he has an 80:9 K:BB during that span.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Stays strong in seventh win
Rotowire
Misiorowski (7-2) allowed one unearned run on four hits, three walks and a hit batsman while striking out eight over seven innings to earn the win over the Rockies on Saturday.
Misiorowski was undaunted by Coors Field, giving up just one extra-base hit, which was Kyle Karros' RBI double in the fifth inning. It's just the second run Misiorowski has allowed over his last seven starts, a span in which he's earned six wins and posted a 65:9 K:BB. This was actually one of his poorer games during that stretch from a control standpoint -- he didn't permit more than four baserunners in any outing in May. The ace right-hander is at a 1.50 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 116:22 K:BB through 78 innings over 13 starts this season. His next start is projected to come at home versus the Phillies.

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.
