The Milwaukee Brewers reinstated rookie right-handed pitcher Jacob Misiorowski from the 15-day injured list on Friday in order for him to start a three-game series opener against the host Cincinnati Reds.
Misiorowski was placed on the IL with a left tibia contusion after his last start July 28 against the Chicago Cubs.
Misiorowski, 23, broke Paul Skenes’ record for the fastest to be named to an All-Star Game when he was chosen as a National League squad injury replacement after just five starts in the major leagues.
Through seven starts, the flamethrower has amassed a 4-1 record and a 2.70 ERA with 47 strikeouts and 14 walks across 33 1/3 innings.
It’s more good news for the Brewers (76-44), who own the best record in the big leagues. Misiorowski joins a team on a 12-game winning strea
