Darrien Miller to minor-league camp and optioned outfielder Brewers Hicklen to Triple-A Nashville. Misiorowski is considered the team's No. 4 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and will begin the year in the minors after allowing eight earned runs on seven hits (one homer) while walking five and striking out nine in 7 2/3 innings over four Grapefruit League appearances (three starts). The 22-year-old throws hard and can generate plenty of strikeouts, but he's also wild and inconsistent. Misiorowski is expected to begin 2025 at Nashville as a starter, but if he can't improve his control, it's possible Milwaukee will shift him to a relief role as a potential late-inning, high-leverage arm.

Jacob Misiorowski has a 50 percent chance to make the Opening Day roster out of spring training, according to MLB's Jim Callis. "I think [his stuff] is as good as anyone in the Minor Leagues," Callis said. "He hasn't harnessed it." Misiorowski, who is ranked as MLB Pipeline's No. 100 overall prospect, is one of the best power arms in the minors after averaging 11.8 strikeouts per nine innings over 33 outings (19 starts) between Double-A and Triple-A in 2024. He stands at an imposing 6-foot-7 and features a triple-digit fastball. Although Misiorowski also walked 5.5 hitters per nine innings, he limited batters to a .167 average, displaying just how good his stuff actually is. The 22-year-old could probably use more seasoning in the minors, and he's going to need to throw more strikes to pass as a starter at the next level.

Jacob Misiorowski has looked quite sharp operating as a reliever at Triple-A in his past two outings. The top prospect in Milwaukee moved up to Triple-A earlier this month and made two short starts before shifting to a bullpen role. As a reliever, Misiorowski has tossed three 2/3 perfect innings with five punchouts. As a starter, he served up two earned runs across three frames of work. While the sample size is very small, the right-hander may have found a new role out of the pen. All fantasy managers should continue to monitor how the former second-round selection is utilized through the end of the season as he served exclusively as a starter over the past two summers. Misiorowski could push for a late-season major league debut, given his current production at Triple-A as well.

Jacob Misiorowski was sharp in his second outing at Triple-A on Wednesday. The right-hander logged two shutout innings. He allowed just one hit while striking out three. This was a nice bounce-back after he allowed two runs and three walks in his first inning on August 3. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to the right-hander, as the Brewers are clearly limiting his workload at Triple-A. Earlier this season at Double-A, the Crowder College product held a 3.50 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, and a 50:105 BB:K ratio. If the 22-year-old continues to log successful short outings at Triple-A Nashville he could emerge as a must-stash candidate in all leagues later this month.
