Misiorowski, 24, hasn’t pitched since July 7 against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri. Luckily for Brewers fans, the right-hander isn’t dealing with anything serious.
“Fatigue would be the best word,” Misiorowski told Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “Nothing crazy. Just didn’t bounce back. A little quick on the days off between, but nothing crazy.”

Misiorowski leads all MLB starting pitchers in fWAR at 4.4. Two-way player Shohei Ohtani is ahead of the Brewers ace with 6.2 fWAR, but over half of that is due to the Dodgers star’s performance at the plate.
Misiorowski leads all qualified starters in ERA (1.62), strikeouts (167), WHIP (0.76) and opponent batting average (.148). The right-hander has thrown 111 innings across 18 starts this season.
