Brewers Promote Misiorowski, Move Civale to Bullpen

The Milwaukee Brewers are set to debut top pitching prospect Jacob Misiorowski on Thursday against the St. Louis Cardinals, following his standout performance in Triple-A with a 2.13 ERA and 80 strikeouts over 63 1/3 innings. Misiorowski, known for his 103 mph fastball—the fastest by a starter since 2015—will join the rotation, with veteran Aaron Civale temporarily moving to the bullpen. Drafted in the second round in 2022, the 23-year-old Misiorowski has quickly become one of the organization's most highly regarded prospects. His promotion comes as the Brewers continue to manage injuries in their rotation and hope his addition will bolster their postseason chances. Misiorowski almost missed the call-up after initially declining the phone call, thinking it was spam, and expressed excitement to debut against the Cardinals, the team he grew up watching. Meanwhile, reliever Abner Uribe continues to lead the bullpen with a 1.39 ERA in 32 appearances.
