Brewers scratch Misiorowski, miss start and All-Star Game

The Milwaukee Brewers scratched ace pitcher Jacob Misiorowski from his scheduled start against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday, July 12, due to arm fatigue. The 24-year-old right-hander will also miss Tuesday's All-Star Game in Philadelphia. The decision, announced by manager Pat Murphy on Saturday, came after the team was swept by the Pirates in a doubleheader.

Misiorowski described the issue as fatigue, stating his arm was "a little tired" and that he did not recover well from his last outing. He emphasized the move was precautionary and that he does not require a stint on the injured list. Murphy explained that Misiorowski's throwing session on Saturday was "clunky," prompting the team to give him extra rest. The manager confirmed no imaging was scheduled and the issue was not considered serious.

The scratch canceled a highly anticipated pitching matchup between Misiorowski and Pirates ace Paul Skenes in the series finale at PNC Park. Instead, Milwaukee started left-hander Robert Gasser, who surrendered seven earned runs in three innings as the Pirates completed a three-game sweep with a blowout win on Sunday.
