EmailPrintOpen Extended ReactionsPITTSBURGH -- Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski has been scratched from his scheduled start against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday because of arm fatigue and will also miss the All-Star Game on Tuesday night in Philadelphia.Brewers manager Pat Murphy announced the decision Saturday after the NL Central leaders were swept by the Pirates in a doubleheader."He didn't recover well from his last start, and his throwing program was clunky today, so we're just going to give him some extra rest," Murphy said.Misiorowski said he will not require a stint on the injured list and should be ready to pitch after next week's All-Star break. Milwaukee has 12 pitchers on the IL."It [stinks] to miss a start and the All-Star Game, but I know it's the right thing to do in this situation," Misiorowski said. "My arm is a little tired."Misiorowski has a 10-4 record and a 1.62 ERA in 18 starts, with 167 strikeouts over 111 innings. The 24-year-old leads MLB starting pitchers with a 100.5 mph average four-seam fastball velocity and has thrown a big-league high of 670 pitches at 100 mph or higher.Misiorowski was scheduled to face fellow All-Star Paul Skenes in the series finale. Left-hander Robert Gasser will instead start for the Brewers.
