Jacob Misiorowski was scheduled to oppose fellow ace Paul Skenes and the host Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday afternoon, but the hard-throwing Milwaukee Brewers right-hander was scratched due to arm fatigue and will also miss the All-Star Game on Tuesday night.

Misiorowski, 24, told reporters that he will not be placed on the injured list and expects to rejoin the rotation following the All-Star break.

"It (stinks) to miss a start and the All-Star Game, but I know it's the right thing to do in this situation," Misiorowski said. "My arm is a little tired."

Left-hander Robert Gasser will start in Misiorowski's place Sunday as the Brewers try to salvage the finale of the three-game series.

Named an All-Star for the second straight season, Misiorowski is 10-4 in 18 starts, spanning 111 innings, and leads the majors with 167 strikeouts and a 1.62 ERA while walking 27. In two seasons, he is 15-7 with a 2.64 ERA in 33 games (32 starts) with 254 strikeouts and 58 walks over 177 innings.

Misiorowski leads all starting pitchers this season with a 100.5 mph average four-seam fastball velocity, and he has thrown 670 pitches at 100 mph or faster -- the most in the majors.

Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy made the announcement regarding Misiorowski's status after Saturday's doubleheader sweep by the Pirates.

"He didn't recover well from his last start, and his throwing program was clunky today, so we're just going to give him some extra rest," Murphy said.
