Jacob Misiorowski is on the mound today as the Milwaukee Brewers take on a split-squad Colorado Rockies lineup this afternoon. Zach Agnos will start for the Rockies.
It’ll be just Misiorowski’s second outing in the Cactus League, following his March 8 outing against the Mariners in which he allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out six in 3 1/3 innings. Miz threw 59 pitches in that one, so expect to see an uptick there. With news that Quinn Priester will start the season on the injured list and questions about how ready Brandon Woodruff will be, Misiorowski could end up as the team’s de facto ace when the season starts.

It’s a fun day beyond Misiorowski for those interested in the Brewers’ pitching staff. Brandon Sproat will follow Miz, and while is spring has been rougher than Miz’s—he’s allowed three runs in 4 1/3 innings across two outings—he remains an intriguing possibility for the early season pitching staff. After Sproat, we should also see Grant Anderson and Jared Koenig.
In the lineup, Joey Ortiz is back after Mexico was eliminated from the World Baseball Classic on Wednesday; it’ll be his first action with the Brewers since February 28. The rest of the lineup includes Sal Frelick, Christian Yelich, Jake Bauers, Gary Sánchez, Brandon Lockridge, David Hamilton, Blake Perkins, and Jett Williams, who was back in action on Thursday after a couple weeks off with a mild quad injury. He walked and hit a double on Thursday, raising his spring OPS to 1.214.
Today’s first pitch is at 3:10 p.m., and while there’s no TV, you can catch the game on ESPN Radio in Milwaukee.
