Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski will miss the All-Star Game and Sunday's start against the Pittsburgh Pirates due to arm fatigue [1].
The loss of the young pitcher removes a highly anticipated matchup between Misiorowski and fellow ace Paul Skenes in Pittsburgh. It also deprives the Brewers of a key arm during the league's premier showcase of talent.
Misiorowski was scheduled to take the mound Sunday afternoon against the host Pirates [2]. However, team officials said the pitcher is scratched from the rotation. The decision comes as the player manages what he described as "a little forearm stuff" [3].
Because of the injury, Misiorowski will not travel to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for the 2026 MLB All-Star Game [4]. The event is scheduled to take place at Citizens Bank Park on Tuesday, July 14, at 8 p.m. ET [5].
The Brewers have not yet announced a replacement starter for Sunday's game. The team's medical staff continues to monitor the right-hander's condition to determine the length of his absence from the active roster.
Misiorowski's absence is a blow to the National League's pitching depth for the midsummer classic. The fatigue-related setback occurs at a critical juncture of the season as the Brewers maintain their position in the standings.
“"a little forearm stuff"”
The timing of Misiorowski's arm fatigue is significant as it disrupts both a high-profile regular season pitching duel and his participation in the All-Star Game. For the Brewers, the priority shifts from showcase opportunities to injury management to ensure the pitcher's long-term health for the remainder of the 2026 season.
