Top Pitching Performance of the Week

Jacob Misiorowski, despite having to exit fairly early, had a great outing on Friday night. He went 5 1/3 no-hit innings, allowing just two walks with eight strikeouts en route to his second win of the season.

There was no shortage of solid options this week for the pitching staff, though I’ll give specific honorable mentions to the young trio of Kyle Harrison, Logan Henderson, and Shane Drohan. Harrison went six innings with one run allowed and five strikeouts; Henderson went six innings with two runs allowed and eight strikeouts; and Drohan totaled five innings with one run allowed and five strikeouts over two appearances. Jake Woodford also totaled 4 2/3 scoreless innings over three relief appearances, striking out five and picking up a three-inning save in Milwaukee’s blowout win over the D-backs.

Top Hitting Performance of the Week

William Contreras had probably his best week of the season thus far, as he went 11-for-25 (.440 batting average) with a homer, a double, nine RBIs, and seven runs scored. He picked up four hits on both Thursday and Friday, becoming just the seventh Brewer player to achieve that feat.

Honorable mention to Tyler Black, who went 7-for-13 (.538 batting average) with three doubles and seven RBIs in limited opportunities this week.

Injury Notes & Roster Moves

• The Brewers made a flurry of moves on Wednesday this week, as they placed LHP Angel Zerpa on the 15-day injured list, sent Luis Matos outright to Triple-A Nashville (he cleared waivers after being DFA’d), and selected LHP Brian Fitzpatrick for his MLB debut. Zerpa’s injury doesn’t sound promising, as Pat Murphy told reporters on Sunday that Zerpa is in the process of deciding whether or not to undergo Tommy John surgery — regardless of his decision, it sounds like a lengthy return for the lefty.

• The team also sent Andrew Vaughn and Jackson Chourio on rehab assignments with Nashville on Wednesday. Both were originally slated to return later today in St. Louis, though Chourio’s return is now in question after he fouled a ball off his foot on Saturday night. While X-rays came back negative, it’s certainly possible Chourio will have to take an extra couple of days before we see him in the majors.

• Brandon Woodruff exited his start early on Thursday afternoon, as he had clearly diminished velocity. After it was reported he was just dealing with fatigue, he went on the 15-day IL with right shoulder inflammation, though an MRI revealed no structural damage. It sounds like he’s hoping to miss close to the minimum amount of time.

• After Woodruff’s injury, right-hander Easton McGee was recalled from Triple-A Nashville. McGee made one scoreless appearance (one inning) before being optioned back to Nashville for Logan Henderson, who made a quality start against the Nationals on Sunday afternoon.

• In another injury scare for a Brewer star, ace Jacob Misiorowski exited in the sixth inning of a no-hit bid against the Nationals on Friday night. He was reportedly just dealing with cramping, and he isn’t expected to miss any sort of extended time, though his next start (originally slated for Wednesday in St. Louis) may be pushed back a couple of days.

• Brice Turang was also scratched from Sunday’s lineup with an illness. The severity of the illness is unknown, but I’d expect we’ll see him at some point this week in St. Louis.

• Quinn Priester made his third rehab start with Triple-A Nashville on Friday night, though he continues to deal with command issues — a common issue among players returning from thoracic outlet syndrome. He’ll likely make at least a few more rehab appearances before an expected return later this month.
