• Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: To start Opening Day

  Rotowire Mar 20, 2026

  Misiorowski has been named the Brewers' Opening Day starter, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. Misiorowski will get the ball for the Brewers' regular-season opener against the White Sox on Thursday. The soon-to-be 24-year-old burst onto the scene last season, appearing in 15 regular-season games and posting a 4.36 ERA across 66 innings. He notched a 1.50 ERA across 12 innings in the 2025 playoffs. While Brandon Woodruff (lat) continues to ramp up and Quinn Priester (wrist) is sidelined, Misiorowski will be tasked with leading the Brewers' rotation.

• Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Strikes out six more

  Rotowire Mar 9, 2026

  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 Oct 16, 2025

  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: Likely to be featured in Game 5

  Rotowire Oct 10, 2025

  Misiorowski could be key to the Brewers' pitching plans in Game 5, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. The Brewers have yet to announce a starter for Saturday's winner-take-all contest against the Cubs, but they are likely to go with a de facto bullpen game. Misiorowski earned the win in a bullpen game in Game 2 for Milwaukee, striking out four over three scoreless innings. He was the third of seven pitchers the Brewers used in that contest, and while Misiorowski might not start Saturday, he's a good bet to be heavily featured. The only pitcher likely to be unavailable for the Brewers in Game 5 is Freddy Peralta, who threw 84 pitches in Thursday's Game 4 loss.

• Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Pegged for relief role in NLDS

  Rotowire Oct 2, 2025

  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 Sep 27, 2025

  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

  Rotowire Sep 14, 2025

  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 Aug 15, 2025

  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 Aug 12, 2025

  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 Aug 11, 2025

  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 Aug 3, 2025

  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: Delivers dominant 12-K start

  Rotowire Jul 9, 2025

  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 Jun 15, 2025

  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 Jun 12, 2025

  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 Jun 12, 2025

  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 Jun 12, 2025

  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 Jun 12, 2025

  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 Jun 10, 2025

  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 Apr 6, 2025

  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 Mar 14, 2025

  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.
