Brewers’ Jacob Misiorowski to Injured List
The Milwaukee Brewers’ star rookie, Jacob Misiorowski, has been placed on the injured list due to a contusion on his left tibia, the team reported before Sunday’s scheduled game against the Washington Nationals.
Misiorowski told reporters that he expects to miss approximately two starts and be back in action after 15 days. The injured list designation goes back to Thursday.
The right-handed pitcher suffered a blow to the shin after a hit by Chicago Cubs player Seiya Suzuki during the first inning of his last start on Monday. Subsequently, in the same inning, after picking up a ground ball in front of the mound, Misiorowski’s knee buckled while making a wild pitch to first base, allowing two runners to score.
Despite the situation, Misiorowski, 23, continued in the game, pitching three more innings before being relieved after 80 pitches. So far this season, the pitcher has a 4-1 record with 47 strikeouts in 33⅓ innings.
In a related move, the Brewers called up right-handed pitcher Logan Henderson from Triple-A Nashville to start against the Nationals on Sunday.
Henderson, 23 years old, pitched 4 1/3 innings, allowing only 1 run on 3 hits and striking out 4 in a 14-3 victory.
