Milwaukee Brewers prospect Jacob Misiorowski exited with an injury after no-hitting the Washington Nationals for 5 1/3 innings on Friday night in Washington, with the Brewers leading 4-0. Reliever Aaron Ashby preserved the no-hitter into the seventh. Separately, the team placed Brandon Woodruff on the 15-day IL following his early exit the previous day.
Jacob Misiorowski, a top Brewers prospect noted for his high-velocity arsenal that often touches 100 mph, dominated the Nationals through five innings and one out in the sixth before the training staff intervened after one pitch to James Wood. The Brewers held a comfortable 4-0 lead when Ashby entered, retiring the side to extend the no-hitter into the seventh.
In related rotation news, the Brewers placed starter Brandon Woodruff on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation (see prior coverage of his Thursday early exit vs. the Diamondbacks). An MRI revealed inflammation but no structural damage—a positive outcome after his 2023 shoulder surgery. Woodruff, whose fastball velocity plummeted Thursday, said: “Just a little bit of inflammation popped up on me, so just got to get it taken care of and knock it out, and I should be throwing here pretty soon.” Manager Pat Murphy highlighted the scan showing Woodruff is “stronger than ever,” optimistic for a quick return despite the blow to a strained rotation and bullpen, where reliever Angel Zerpa remains sidelined with forearm tightness and potential surgery.
