Milwaukee Brewers right-handed pitching prospect Jacob Misiorowski (leg) has been activated from the 15-day injured list and will make an abbreviated start in Friday's series opener against the division-rival Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park, according to Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The Brewers put Misiorowski on the IL as a precaution earlier this month with a tibia contusion, but he'll rejoin Milwaukee's starting rotation without making a minor-league rehab start. The hard-throwing 23-year-old will be on a pitch count on Friday, so he may not go deep enough to qualify for a win, but he should still be in consideration for starting fantasy lineups given how dominant he's been early in his career. In his first seven MLB starts, he has recorded a 2.70 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, 47 strikeouts and 14 walks in 33 1/3 innings.

The Milwaukee Brewers said that right-handed pitching prospect Jacob Misiorowski (leg) will pitch Friday in either a shorter big-league outing against the division-rival Cincinnati Reds or in a minor-league rehab game, according to Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Misiorowski traveled with the team to Cincinnati, so he's firmly in the mix to come off the 15-day injured list to start Friday's series opener at Great American Ball Park. The 23-year-old hard-throwing right-hander is one of the best young arms in baseball and has gone 4-1 with a 2.70 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, 47 strikeouts and 14 walks in 33 1/3 innings pitched over his first seven big-league starts. Although Miz would be in line for a shorter outing if he faces the Reds on Friday, his high-end strikeout upside would still make him a candidate for starting fantasy lineups.

Milwaukee Brewers young star Jacob Misiorowski (tibia) is scheduled to throw a 30-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday and could begin a rehab assignment as soon as Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. Misiorowski injured his leg when Seiya Suzuki hit a comebacker that struck Misiorowski's leg on July 28. He was diagnosed with a tibia contusion and appears to be heading in the right direction, and hasn't experienced any setbacks, as the swelling has gone down. Given his short stint on the IL, it appears likely he will require just one rehab start before joining the Brewers' rotation sometime next week. Misiorowski continues to be a must-start in all fantasy baseball formats, with his 2.70 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, and 36.7 percent strikeout rate. This minor setback should not limit his ceiling in any way.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jacob Misiorowski (tibia) could require a rehab start, but it is still to be decided, reports Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. General manager Matt Arnold stated that they are still analyzing the situation and will make a decision within the next few days. Misiorowski most recently tossed 60 pitches during three simulated innings, so building up his arm seemingly isn't much of a concern. The 23-year-old landed on the injured list with a tibia contusion, an injury that is considered very minor. The young phenom posted a 2.70 ERA and 0.96 WHIP with 47 strikeouts in 33 innings prior to the injury, and he figures to be a key part of Milwaukee's rotation for the stretch run.

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski (leg) faced hitters over three simulated innings and threw approximately 60 pitches on Saturday. Misiorowski said he felt great afterward and expects to come off the 15-day injured list when he's eligible on Aug. 15, according to the team. Misiorowski landed on the IL on Aug. 3 (retroactive to July 31) with a contusion in his left tibia, an injury that has temporarily interrupted an exhilarating start to his career.

Milwaukee Brewers rookie right-hander Jacob Misiorowski (leg) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Tuesday with a planned mid-August return, according to Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Misiorowski was placed on the 15-day injured list over the weekend with a left-tibia contusion. It's not a serious injury for the 23-year-old, but it allows the Brewers to play it safe with one of the most dominant arms in the game and keep him fresh for the stretch run. The former second-round pick in 2022 has already looked the part in his first seven big-league games, going 4-1 with a 2.70 ERA (3.11 FIP) and 0.96 WHIP, 47 strikeouts and 14 walks in 33 1/3 frames. Misiorowski has high-end fantasy potential for years to come and should already be rostered in all leagues, even with him on the IL.

The Milwaukee Brewers announced that they have placed right-hander Jacob Misiorowski (leg) on the 15-day injured list with a left tibia contusion, retroactive to July 31. The team recalled righty Logan Henderson from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. Misiorowski had been scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals, but the Brewers will have to make other arrangements. They'll now go at least two weeks without Misiorowski, a 23-year-old rookie who has excelled in his first seven starts. The 6-foot-7 flamethrower has gone 4-1 with a 2.70 ERA, a 0.96 WHIP, and 47:14 K:BB across 33 1/3 innings.UPDATE: Misiorowski said he expects to miss two starts and come back after the 15-day minimum.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jacob Misiorowski is drawing interest from his club to negotiate a contract extension, reports Francys Romero. The Brewers reportedly made an offer earlier in the season, but they are still far apart from what Misiorowski is looking for. It's no surprise that Milwaukee is looking to extend the youngster, as he's coming off a 12-strikeout performance against one of the best offenses in the league. Despite only making five career starts, the 23-year-old was recently named to the NL All-Star team. He's posted a 2.81 ERA and 0.90 WHIP with 33 strikeouts in 25 innings and could be the ace of the staff for a very long time.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jacob Misiorowski fired six innings of one-run ball in Tuesday's 3-1 win against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The hard-throwing right-hander yielded four hits, issued one free pass, and struck out 12 to record his fourth win in five tries (4-1). Misiorowski gave up a leadoff homer to Shohei Ohtani, but proceeded to punch out six of the next seven batters he faced and an even dozen overall to set a new career-high. The young hurler piled up an eye-popping 21 whiffs on the day -- four more than the next four pitchers in the contest combined. He's been exceptional through his first 25 2/3 professional innings, compiling a 2.81 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, and 33:11 K:BB ratio. Misiorowski next projects to toe the rubber following the All-Star break in a road series against these very same Dodgers.

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski stymied the Pittsburgh Pirates over five innings in Wednesday's 4-2 victory. He gave up two hits and issued two free passes while striking out eight in another excellent outing. The hard-throwing right-hander racked up 13 swinging strikes to register a 35% CSW and threw 15 pitches faster than opposing pitcher Paul Skenes' fastest pitch (100.2 MPH) -- topping out at an eye-popping 102.4 MPH. Few words describe just how good Misiorowski has been in his professional debut, boasting as many hits (three) as wins (3-0). He'll carry a sublime 1.13 ERA and 0.63 WHIP into a road outing with the New York Mets next week.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jacob Misiorowski dominated the Minnesota Twins in his second big league start, holding them to two runs over six innings and earning his second win in a 17-6 thumping. Misiorowski was even more impressive than the final line indicates, as he didn't allow a baserunner until the seventh, where he issued a walk and then allowed a homer. He also struck out six. It was an incredible performance for the 23-year-old fireballer, who was consistently throwing over 100 mph while also mixing in his mid-90s slider. His first two turns in the majors have been all you can ask for, and have already solidified him as a must-start pitcher in fantasy. His next outing will take place next Wednesday at home in a tasty matchup against the Pittsburgh Pirates, and all eyes will be on the rookie.

Milwaukee Brewers right-handed pitching prospect Jacob Misiorowski will make his second MLB start on Friday in Minnesota against the Twins after having his last scheduled start against the division-rival Chicago Cubs postponed on Wednesday. He'll be opposed by Twins right-hander Joe Ryan in the series opener at Target Field. The 23-year-old is the club's No. 4 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and looked outstanding in his big-league debut on June 12 against the St. Louis Cardinals, tossing five shutout innings with no hits allowed, four walks and five strikeouts for his first win. Although the Twins offense has picked things up of late, they rank 19th in the league with a .699 OPS entering play on Thursday. Misiorowski has some of the best stuff as far as young pitching prospects and has the upside to be a 200-strikeout pitcher sooner than later.

Milwaukee Brewers right-handed pitching prospect Jacob Misiorowski (ankle) is expected to make his next start against the Chicago Cubs. Misiorowski exited his MLB debut early on Thursday after suffering an ankle/leg injury. However, following the game, Misiorowski noted that he felt fine and had minor swelling in his left ankle. Given this update, the hard-throwing right-hander was able to avoid a significant injury. In his MLB debut, Misiorowski was quite impressive, tossing five no-hit innings against the Cardinals. In this outing, he struck out five batters and allowed four walks. Earlier this season, in Triple-A, the top-ranked pitcher in the Milwaukee system performed at a high level, tossing 63 1/3 innings to the tune of a 2.13 ERA with a 1.09 WHIP. During this stretch, he struck out 80 batters. Even though he will have a tough task in his next start against the Cubs, he is worth starting in all leagues given his production at Triple-A and promising debut.

Updating a previous report, Milwaukee Brewers right-handed pitching prospect Jacob Misiorowski (calf, quadriceps) was pulled from his major-league debut on Thursday night against the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals with cramping in his right calf and quadriceps, according to the team. Despite the cramping issues, Misiorowski dazzled in his debut, throwing five shutout and no-hit innings with four walks and five strikeouts to pick up his first MLB win. The 23-year-old is the club's No. 4 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and should be able to make his next scheduled start for the Brew Crew. If he isn't already rostered in your league, it's time to scoop him up off the waiver wire. The 6-foot-7, 197-pounder is easily one of the best pitching prospects in the game, with his fastball, curveball and slider all capable of generating plenty of swings and misses.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jacob Misiorowski (ankle) left the game in the sixth inning after turning his right ankle after throwing a pitch, reports Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. The young phenom was in the middle of an extremely impressive major league debut, throwing five no-hit innings while striking out five and walking three. The 6'7 righty looked dominant on the mound, featuring a fastball touching 102 mph and a slider at 96. He induced 13 whiffs in the 81-pitch outing. Hopefully the injury is minor, as Misiorowski is one of a small number of pitching prospects with true ace upside. More news on the extent of the injury should be available after the game.

ESPN's Jeff Passan reports that the Milwaukee Brewers are calling up right-hander Jacob Misiorowski, one of the best pitching prospects in baseball, on Tuesday, according to sources. Misiorowski is ranked as the 30th overall prospect in the game by ESPN's Kiley McDaniels and has a fastball that has reached 103 mph this year. He's expected to start on Thursday against the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals in his MLB debut. MLB Pipeline considers the 23-year-old to be Milwaukee's No. 4 prospect. Although Misioriwowski's control has been an issue in the past, it's been better this year and he's posted a 2.13 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with 80 strikeouts and 31 walks in 63 1/3 innings over his 13 outings (12 starts) for Nashville. A learning curve is expected, but Misiorowski should be an immediate waiver-wire priority, and he could stick around in Milwaukee's rotation for the rest of the year.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitching prospect Jacob Misiorowski tossed five shutout innings in his last start on June 7 against Triple-A Gwinnett. In this outing, Misiorowski allowed just two hits, allowed three walks, and struck out seven batters. This was a much-needed bounce-back outing for Misiorowski, as he allowed five runs with six walks in his previous outing. Over his last 44 2/3 innings, the hard-throwing right-hander has been one of the most dominant arms at the Triple-A level, holding a 1.81 ERA with a stellar 1.05 WHIP. During this stretch, Misiorowski has struck out 59 batters and served up 19 walks. During this stretch, he only allowed more than one run in a single outing once. Given his impressive production at Triple-A, Misiorowski is nearing his MLB debut and should be viewed as a strong stash option in all standard formats.

Milwaukee Brewers pitching prospect Jacob Misiorowski threw four innings for Triple-A Nashville on Monday, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out eight. The righty needed 87 pitches to get through the outing, throwing 56 of them for strikes. Still, the performance kept his ERA at a pristine 1.60 for the year, while also boasting a 0.98 WHIP and 71 strikeouts in 56 1/3 IP. The Brewers' fourth-ranked prospect (MLB No. 72) has little left to prove in Triple-A and figures to make a debut in the majors sometime in June. The 6-foot-7 hurler is one of the top prospect stashes who could provide solid strikeout totals and would be rosterable in deep 12-team leagues.

Milwaukee Brewers pitching prospect Jacob Misiorowski went three innings Wednesday night against Triple-A Scranton. He allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out four. Although the flame-throwing right-hander only threw 54 pitches, he managed to induce 14 swings and misses on 32 swings. Bryan De La Cruz tagged him for a solo home run, but it was an otherwise dominant, albeit shorter outing for the top prospect. The 23-year-old owns a minuscule 1.19 ERA and 0.93 WHIP over 22 2/3 innings in May. Misiorowski is expected to debut sometime in June and is worth stashing in most standard leagues.

Milwaukee Brewers pitching prospect Jacob Misiorowski threw seven innings, allowing only one run on four hits and one walk while striking out five against Triple-A Memphis on Thursday. He did not factor into the decision. Following up on a dominant outing in his last start with a season-best 11 strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings, the right-hander has lowered his season ERA to 1.46 to go with a 0.89 WHIP. He's also been more efficient with his pitch count as he needed just 86 pitches for seven frames. An encouraging sign for the 23-year-old is his continued improvement in limiting walks. While his 11% walk rate is still not a strength, it's a notable improvement from 14.4% last season. The flame-thrower continued to light up the radar gun, as he sat at 98.3 MPH on the fastball and maxed out at a blistering 103 MPH. MLB.com's number 72 overall prospect should be expected to be promoted at some point this summer and is worth stashing in standard leagues.
