Brewers Pitching Surge Jacob Misiorowski threw a 103.7‑mph fastball Saturday, setting the fastest starter velocity since 2008 and giving Milwaukee a rare power surge against Colorado. Minutes later the club added right‑hander Joel Kuhnel from Oakland for cash as Brian Fitzpatrick joined a growing list of injured arms, marking the Brewers’ eighth pitcher on the IL. The back‑to‑back moves underscore Milwaukee’s aggressive approach to reinforce a rotation bruised by injuries while capitalizing on Misiorowski’s breakout arm speed.

Mets’ Health Concerns Jorge Polanco, who signed a two‑year, $40M deal, entered additional ankle testing after appearing in just two games, leaving New York uncertain about the veteran’s role in a lineup already coping with limited depth. The extra scans delay any decision on his activation and raise questions about the Mets’ ability to field a full‑time infielder as the season progresses.

Rays Re‑tool Rotation Steven Matz, whose ERA has risen to 5.48 in two starts, shifted to the bullpen as Tampa Bay seeks to stabilize a rotation that has faltered early. Moving the left‑hander out of the rotation reflects the Rays’ willingness to adapt roles quickly to preserve competitiveness despite a rocky start.

Reds Eye Early Return Hunter Greene, the Reds’ emerging ace, has an accelerated timetable to pitch before the All‑Star break, a timeline that could bolster Cincinnati’s rotation ahead of a crucial mid‑season stretch. Greene’s timely comeback would provide a needed boost as the club aims to maintain its standing in the competitive NL Central.
