MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee Brewer Jacob Misiorowski, whose 103 mph pitch last month at Triple-A was the highest recorded by a true starter in the majors or minors since Statcast started tracking in 2015, was set to make his major league debut tonight in the opener of a four-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals.
The 23-year-old, 6-foot-7 right-hander arrived Tuesday night from Triple-A Nashville, where he was 4-2 with a 2.13 ERA in 12 starts ad one relief appearances with 80 strikeouts and 31 walks in 63• innings.
Misiorowski made four spring training appearances for the Brewers, compiling a 9.39 ERA in 7ª innings over four starts. Misiorowski will take the rotation spot of right-hander Aaron Civale, who is 1-2 with a 4.91 ERA.
Wounded Yankees
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Yankees right-hander Marcus Stroman has made his first rehab start for Double-A Somerset, allowing one run over 3• innings in a game against Portland.
His outing Wednesday was his first since landing on the injured list April 12 with left knee inflammation. In the same game, Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton had another hit as he works his way back to the big league club. He had two hits in his first rehab game Tuesday night.
Meanwhile, right-hander Luke Weaver felt good after a throwing session Wednesday at Kauffman Stadium. It was his second bullpen outing as Weaver ramps back up following a left hamstring strain that landed him on the injured list June 3.
Bailey injured
DENVER — The San Francisco Giants placed Patrick Bailey on the 10-day injured list with a strained neck on Wednesday and selected the contract of Logan Porter from Triple-A Sacramento.
Porter had to scramble to get from Seattle on Wednesday morning but arrived in time for batting practice at Coors Field before Wednesday night’s game against the Colorado Rockies. Bailey, whose trip to the IL is retroactive to Sunday, is batting .185 with one homer and 16 RBIs this season.
The Giants hoped he would be OK to back up Andrew Knizner during the series at Colorado but he didn’t improve.
On the mend
NEW YORK — Frankie Montas and Sean Manaea will make minor league rehab appearances this weekend and both could join the New York Mets’ rotation in the coming weeks.
Montas will make a fifth rehab start Friday and Manaea will take the mound two days later for his third, manager Carlos Mendoza said Wednesday. Mendoza said he isn’t worried about how to sort out seven pitchers for five rotation slots when Montas and Manaea both get back.
Montas strained a lat muscle early in spring training and made his first minor league appearance on May 24. The 32-year-old right-hander has a 9.00 ERA in two games each for Class-A Brooklyn and Triple-A Syracuse, striking out nine and walking eight in 12 innings. After his next outing for Syracuse, he could make his Mets debut.
Manaea arrived at spring training with a strained right oblique and the 33-year-old left-hander made his first rehab appearance on June 6. He has a 6.23 ERA in two outings and 4• innings with Brooklyn, and Mendoza didn’t specify where Manaea will make his next appearance.
Hanging in there
MINNEAPOLIS — The Texas Rangers signed veteran reliever Craig Kimbrel to a minor-league contract Wednesday.
The 37-year-old Kimbrel will report to Triple-A Round Rock this week.
Kimbrel pitched one scoreless inning with the Atlanta Braves before being designated for assignment last week. He opted for free agency instead of having the club send him outright to its Triple-A Gwinnett affiliate.
The right-hander is a nine-time All-Star and won a World Series with Boston in 2018. He has pitched parts of 16 seasons in the majors with for eight teams. He has 440 career saves.
Kimbrel was with Baltimore last season.
