Brewers’ All-Star Miz Placed on IL, Logan Henderson Recalled
UPDATE: The Milwaukee Brewers have just announced that All-Star rookie Jacob Misiorowski has been placed on the injured list with a left tibia contusion, impacting their roster just hours before his scheduled start against the Washington Nationals on Sunday, July 16, 2023. The right-hander suffered the injury after being hit by a line drive from Seiya Suzuki of the Chicago Cubs during his last outing on Monday.
In a dramatic moment, Misiorowski’s knee buckled as he fielded a dribbler on the mound, resulting in a wild throw to first base that allowed two runners to score. Despite the injury, the 23-year-old managed to pitch three additional innings, throwing 80 pitches in total before exiting the game. Currently, he holds an impressive season record of 4-1 with 47 strikeouts in just 33.1 innings.
The Brewers have acted swiftly to fill the gap left by Misiorowski, recalling Logan Henderson from Triple-A Nashville. Henderson’s return comes at a crucial time as the team seeks to maintain its competitive edge in the league.
This injury raises questions about the Brewers’ pitching depth as they continue their season. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how the team adapts without one of their standout rookies. The immediate impact of this decision could affect their performance against the Nationals, making today’s game a key match-up to watch.
As developments unfold, the Brewers will need to rally and adjust quickly. Stay tuned for updates on Misiorowski’s recovery and Henderson’s performance in the upcoming games.
