Brewers Manage Jacob Misiorowski’s Workload Ahead of October Push

Milwaukee’s 24‑year‑old right‑hander Jacob Misiorowski has emerged as a premier MLB pitcher, posting a league‑leading 1.62 ERA, 0.757 WHIP and 167 strikeouts in 111 innings. The Brewers sit five games atop the NL Central and are targeting a fourth straight division title and a postseason run.

To preserve Misiorowski’s health for the stretch run, the club is limiting his innings and granting extended rest after his All‑Star‑game fatigue. Creative scheduling, including a breather over the All‑Star break and additional recovery time, is being used while the rotation is shored up by the recent acquisition of Lance McCullers Jr. and injuries to other starters. The goal is to keep Misiorowski at full strength for the October postseason.
