Brewers Host Marlins, Peralta Returns, Misiorowski Restarts

Peralta’s Comeback After a Tough Trade

The Brewers enter today riding a dramatic walk‑off sweep of the Marlins, giving them momentum as they host the same opponent. Freddy Peralta steps onto the mound at American Family Field in a different uniform, the former Milwaukee staple now with the Mets. His statistics this season tell the tale of a struggled start: 5‑8 record, 4.66 ERA, 4.38 FIP, 1.438 WHIP, 9.0 K/9 and a high 3.8 BB/9. Peralta’s dip is the worst stretch since joining Milwaukee’s rotation in 2021, prompting trade talk before the July deadline, with the Brewers frequently mentioned as potential suitors. The Mets originally sent him for tomorrow’s starter Brandon Sproat and Triple‑A reliever Jett Williams, a swap that now looks lopsided given Peralta’s slide.

Misiorowski Filters Back into the Rotation

Jacob Misiorowski returns to the Brewers after a 13‑day hiatus, making his first outing since missing a start. He now sits at 111 innings pitched across 18 starts, a figure that keeps him tied for 23rd in the league and within reach of Cy Young eligibility. The Brewers’ cautious management is evident, as Pat Murphy’s comments suggest they’ll watch his workload closely down the stretch. Misiorowski’s recent return adds depth to a rotation that already includes a revitalized Peralta and the upcoming Sproat. If innings stay in check, the young pitcher could ramp up his MVP‑level case in the final months of the season.
