The Brewers announced this morning that they\u2019ve placed right-hander Jacob Misiorowski<\/a> on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to July 31) due to a left tibia contusion. Right-hander Logan Henderson<\/a> was recalled to replace Misiorowski on the active roster.<\/p>\n

Misiorowski was expected to start today\u2019s game against the Nationals, but instead will head to the shelf. That the right-hander\u2019s injury doesn\u2019t involve his arm is surely heartening news for fans in Milwaukee, but it\u2019s nonetheless worrisome for such a key piece of the club\u2019s recent surge to miss any time at all while the team is locked in a heated division race with the Cubs. Any amount of time missed by such a talented arm will be a blow, but if Misiorowski misses only the minimum he could be back on the mound for the club\u2019s series opener against the Reds on August 15.<\/p>\n

The rookie was somewhat controversially named an All-Star this year despite having just five appearances in the majors under his belt prior to this year\u2019s All-Star game, but Misiorowski has done everything in his power to justify that honor with a 2.70 ERA, 3.10 FIP, and an absurd 36.4% strikeout rate in 33 1\/3 innings. Misiorowski\u2019s huge strikeout numbers are somewhat balanced out by a 10.9% walk rate, but his overpowering stuff (which includes a fastball that averages 99mph on the radar gun) is more than enough to make up for those pitfalls when it comes to control.<\/p>\n

Misiorowski isn\u2019t the only injury of note the Brewers have suffered in recent days. Star outfielder Jackson Chourio<\/a> is on the injured list due to a hamstring strain<\/a> and might not be back until September. Another major piece of the club\u2019s outfield puzzle, Sal Frelick<\/a>, was pulled from yesterday\u2019s game due to knee soreness in what the Brewers described (according to Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel<\/a>) as \u201cprecautionary.\u201d\u00a0With Chourio and Misiorowski out of commission for the time being and Frelick\u2019s status uncertain, the Brewers are looking very banged up after a quiet trade deadline that saw them add only backup catcher Danny Jansen<\/a> from the Rays and injured right-hander Shelby Miller<\/a> of the Diamondbacks while trading away starter Nestor Cortes<\/a> in a deal with the Padres.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old Henderson is another impressive young arm, as he made his big league debut earlier this year and has looked quite good in four spot starts. He\u2019s posted a 1.71 ERA and a 3.05 FIP in 21 innings of work at the big league level this year while striking out 35.8% of his opponents, though a 3.59 ERA and 27.9% strikeout rate in 16 appearances at Triple-A is slightly less impressive. Regardless, Henderson will have the opportunity to further establish himself as the next man up in a crowded rotation mix that has sent arms like Chad Patrick<\/a> and Tobias Myers<\/a> to Triple-A as depth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Brewers announced this morning that they\u2019ve placed right-hander Jacob Misiorowski on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":44064,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,469,31132,462,7506,82],"class_list":["post-44063","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-jacob-misiorowski","tag-logan-henderson","tag-mlb","tag-sal-frelick","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44063","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44063"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44063\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44064"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44063"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44063"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44063"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
