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 30, 2023. The injury occurred when Misiorowski was struck by a line drive off the bat of Seiya Suzuki from the Chicago Cubs during his last outing on Monday.
The 23-year-old right-hander demonstrated remarkable resilience by continuing to pitch after the injury, throwing three additional innings despite the pain. Misiorowski’s knee buckled while making a throw to first base, resulting in two runs scoring against him. He exited the game after throwing 80 pitches, with a season record of 4-1 and an impressive 47 strikeouts in just 33 1/3 innings.
In a related move, the Brewers have recalled Logan Henderson from Triple-A Nashville, indicating a shift in their roster as they adjust to Misiorowski’s absence. This injury marks a significant blow to the Brewers, who are currently competing for playoff positioning.
As this story develops, fans and analysts alike will be eager to see how the Brewers respond to this latest setback. The team is scheduled to face the Nationals today, and the immediate concern will be how they fill the void left by Misiorowski’s absence.
Stay tuned for further updates as the Brewers navigate this challenging situation and look to maintain their momentum in the season.
