Jake Peavy suggests Milwaukee Brewers skip Jacob Misiorowski's upcoming starts
Summary

Following a difficult outing against the Chicago Cubs where he allowed five earned runs in four innings, Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski has been advised to take a brief hiatus from the rotation. Former National League Cy Young winner Jake Peavy suggested that the Brewers should skip one or two of his starts to ensure he remains fresh for the postseason. Misiorowski has reached a career-high 155 innings pitched this season, prompting concerns regarding his current workload. Despite the recent performance, he remains a strong contender for the Cy Young award while leading the league with a 1.97 ERA and 227 strikeouts. The Brewers look to secure a deep run in the playoffs with their ace pitcher in peak form. Management has not yet indicated whether they will follow the recommendation to adjust his usage as the postseason approaches.
