And Now the Brewers Are Losing Jacob Misiorowski for a While ...Middle East

I did the full rival-injury preamble yesterday, so I’ll skip it for the short version today: I never root for an injury, yadda-yadda, but it’s still notable, blah blah, and we’ll take any advantage we can get.

Yesterday, that was about an expected month-long absence for arguably the Brewers’ best position player, Jackson Chourio. Today, it’s about one of their best young starters and 2025 All-Star* Jacob Misiorowski.

And both injuries happened during the Cubs-Brewers series last week in Milwaukee (So it wasn’t a total loss after all! (… Okay, I’m sorry, that’s it)).

Jacob Misiorowski to the IL

The Brewers have announced that Jacob Misiorowski is headed to the Injured List with a left tibia contusion, which was suffered on a comebacker off the bat of Seiya Suzuki on July 28.

But because they waited to IL him (probably to preserve some leverage at the trade deadline), they can only backdate it to July 31.

Here’s the play, in case you forgot:

And because the minimum IL stint for a pitcher is 15 days, not ten like position players, he can’t return until the middle of August.

Whether that gives him enough time to return for the FIVE-GAME series against the Cubs that starts on August 18 is unclear. I wouldn’t think he’d need a rehab assignment, especially because it’s just a contusion and not to his arm, but I guess we don’t know. I’m just going to be hopeful that he won’t be able to pitch in that series, because as we saw (after the first inning and in all of his other starts), he’s quite nasty.

The counter-argument, however, is that this is just some very convenient load management that keeps him nice and fresh … just in time for that Cubs series, in particular. Which, crap, now that I think about it, that could be it.

In the meantime, the Brewers have recalled their top pitching prospect, Logan Henderson, who already made four really nice starts at the big league level earlier this year: 21.0 IP, 14H, 4ER, 6BB, 29Ks (1.71 ERA).

And besides him, they have Freddy Peralta, Brandon Woodruff, Jose Quintana, and Quinn Priester, locking down the rotation. And Chad Patrick is around, too.

So while it doesn’t help to lose Jacob Misiorowski for the next 2+ weeks, they are certainly well-situated to weather that storm.

Unrelated, but I missed that Sal Frelick was removed from yesterday’s game, as well. He’s just day-to-day, but was a key part of the Brewers’ replacement plans for Jackson Chourio.
