Milwaukee Brewers flamethrower Jacob Misiorowski is set to make his 17th start of the season here on Thursday, July 2, and the team has now outlined his schedule for the end of the first half.

With the All-Star Game coming up, it's no surprise that Miz is a prime candidate to not just pitch, but he could also very well be the National League's starter.

Now, Brewers manager Pat Murphy is putting all that to rest. There's a chance Misiorowski's schedule changes, but for now, he's set to make two more starts before the All-Star break.

To no surprise, Murphy and the rest of his staff are prioritizing regular season wins over a silly All-Star Game appearance. As fun as it would've been to see Misiorowski in action, especially after all of the drama last season, the Brewers can't justify not starting him in this final stretch.

Should everything go according to plan, Misiorowski is set to start in either game of the team's doubleheader on Tuesday, July 7, and then he would start again in their first-half finale on Sunday, July 12.

More importantly, both of those starts are against teams in the National League Central. The Brewers will be in St. Louis on July 7 and then head to Pittsburgh to close out the first half of the 2026 season.

Brewers beat reporter Adam McCalvy of MLB.com wrote, "By rule, a pitcher who starts on that final Sunday of the first half is ineligible to pitch in the All-Star Game two days later."

Last year, Misiorowski took the league by storm after being named an All-Star despite making just five career starts.

Remember, tons of players turned down the opportunity so the league had no choice but to ask Misiorowski, someone who had been part of highlight reels left and right for his electric fast-ball as a 23-year-old rookie.

Now, the tables have turned. Misiorowski is likely going to have to turn down the opportunity, though this time he has no say in it.

Despite having a stellar 9-3 record and leading the league in ERA (1.45), strikeouts (146), and WHIP (0.77), the league will have to find a suitable replacement for him as Misiorowski could provide the Brewers another pair of wins, and those two could be the difference between them earning another postseason bye or even winning the NL Central.
