WASHINGTON — Jacob Misiorowski, the Milwaukee Brewers’ rookie All-Star pitcher, was placed on the 15-day injured list three hours before his scheduled start on Sunday, Aug. 3, with a left tibia contusion.
Misiorowski, 23, was selected to the National League All-Star team after just five starts due to his dominant handfuls of outings and 102 mph fastball.
Right-hander Logan Henderson will start in Misiorowski’s place.
The Brewers hold a two-game lead over the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central and have the best record in baseball.
Misiorowski said Sunday he does not anticipate missing more than the 15 day minimum, retroactive to July 31, or roughly two starts. He was struck on the left shin by a line drive off the bat from Chicago’s Seiya Suzuki in his last start, and said he lobbied manager Pat Murphy to take his regular turn.
Yet a break might not be the worst thing for the 6-7 fireballer. He’s already pitched 96 2/3 innings, essentially equaling the 97 1/3 innings pitched between Class AA and AAA last season.
