UPDATE: Milwaukee Brewers’ All-Star rookie Jacob Misiorowski has been placed on the injured list with a left tibia contusion, just hours before his scheduled start against the Washington Nationals on July 23, 2023. This significant development comes after Misiorowski suffered an injury during his last outing against the Chicago Cubs when he took a hard line drive to the shin from Seiya Suzuki.
In a dramatic moment during the first inning of that game, Misiorowski’s knee buckled as he attempted a throw to first base after fielding a dribbler, leading to two runs scoring. Despite the injury, the 23-year-old managed to pitch three additional innings, throwing a total of 80 pitches. This season, Misiorowski boasts an impressive record of 4-1 with 47 strikeouts over 33 1/3 innings.
In an urgent move to fill the gap left by Misiorowski, the Brewers have recalled Logan Henderson from Triple-A Nashville. As the team reconfigures its pitching strategy, fans and analysts will closely monitor how this injury impacts the Brewers’ performance moving forward.
This latest setback raises questions about the Brewers’ rotation depth and their ability to contend as the season progresses. With Misiorowski emerging as a crucial part of the pitching staff, the team will need to adapt quickly.
Stay tuned for updates on Misiorowski’s recovery and the implications for the Brewers as they face the Nationals today.
