- Jacob Misiorowski has been scratched from his scheduled start against the Pittsburgh Pirates due to arm fatigue, prompting the Brewers to pull him from All-Star Game consideration.
- Pat Murphy announced the decision to hold Misiorowski out, citing poor recovery from his last start and a 'clunky' throwing program during Saturday's assessment.
- Jacob Misiorowski said he will not go on the injured list and expects to be ready to pitch after the All-Star break, calling the decision disappointing but necessary.
- Milwaukee Brewers now have 12 pitchers on the injured list, adding context to their caution with Misiorowski despite his dominant 2024 season.
- Robert Gasser will start in place of Misiorowski in the series finale against the Pirates, with the matchup originally set to feature All-Star Paul Skenes on the opposing side.
- Jacob Misiorowski leads MLB starting pitchers with a 100.5 mph average four-seam fastball and has thrown 670 pitches at 100 mph or higher — the most in the majors.
Why it matters: The Brewers are protecting a 24-year-old breakout star who leads MLB starters in fastball velocity and has thrown the most high-speed pitches, a move that preserves long-term health despite short-term roster strain with 12 pitchers already on the IL.
