Brewers’ Misiorowski to IL With Shin Injury

Milwaukee Brewers rookie All-Star pitcher Jacob Misiorowski has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a left tibia contusion after being hit by a line drive in his last start against the Cubs. The team and Misiorowski are optimistic he will only miss the minimum time, which could help manage his workload as he has already matched last season's career-high in innings pitched. The injury is not to his pitching arm, which is a relief given his high-velocity style. Rookie Logan Henderson, who has a 1.71 ERA in limited MLB action, was recalled from Triple-A Nashville and is expected to start in Misiorowski's place. The Brewers, who currently lead the NL Central, are also dealing with injuries to key players Jackson Chourio and Sal Frelick. This series of setbacks is testing the team's depth as they push for a postseason berth.
