Brewers 'hopeful' about Jacob Misiorowski's injury after early exit

11 hours ago 3

While things haven’t been the easiest for the Milwaukee Brewers as of late, going 5-5 through their last ten games, Friday night was certainly a high note. The Brewers took to the field against the Washington Nationals, whom they would prevail over 6-1.

A key factor for their victory would be their productive offensive engine, as Milwaukee would record 12 hits, with catcher Wilson Contreras getting on base four times throughout the match, while driving in three RBIs.

Another contributing factor would be the stellar outing by Jacob Misiorowski, who took to the mound for 5.1 innings, not allowing a single hit, while fanning eight batters.

The 24-year-old would have his night come to an end a bit earlier than he would have liked, after he signaled over towards trainers during the match.

It would later be reported that Misiorowski had been taken out of the match due to a cramp in his right hamstring.

While there isn’t any new concrete information on the health of the 24-year-old, Brewers’ manager Pat Murphy talked about the injury scare, explaining that the team is being optimistic about things.

“We’ll see where it is tomorrow. We’re very hopeful.”

“We feel pretty good about it,” Murphy stated to the press. “We’re not going to test it right now because we’re afraid he might cramp again, so we’ll see what it is tomorrow.”

The potential setback comes in the midst of what has been a rough start to the campaign for the 24-year-old, as he is posting a 1-2 record with an ERA of 3.31 and a WHIP of 1.10.
