New York Yankees @ Milwaukee Brewers: Max Fried vs. Jacob Misiorowski

On the scoreboard, Thursday’s series finale against the Rangers went quite well, as the Yankes won fairly comfortably, clinching another series win. However, the victory did include an injury to Jasson Domínguez, who has hit the IL after hurting his shoulder crashing into the left field while making a catch.

Domínguez’s IL trip has led to something fairly fascinating, as the Yankees’ have called up Spencer Jones in his place. The former first-round draft pick is an intresting case, as he has otherworldly power, but also some flaws that could hinder his progress in the majors. Either way, we’ll start to find out the answer tonight. Tonight, the Yankees are headed back out on the road, as they head to Milwaukee to take on the Brewers.

Jones is the big story, but tonight’s Yankee lineup does feature Ben Rice making his return. The first baseman sat out a couple days after taking a weird hop to the wrist while fielding a throw. Meanwhile, lefty ace Max Fried will get the start on the mound for the Bombers. He didn’t have his best stuff against the Orioles but left with 5.1 innings and three runs allowed, enough of an effort to keep the Yankees in it during a game they won 11-3. This will be Fried’s first appearance in Milwaukee since his Braves days in 2022.

As for Milwaukee, young star Jacob Misiorowski will take the ball. Misiorowski appears to be one of the best young starters in baseball, and he boasts a wild 59 strikeouts in 38 innings on the season. He was no-hitting the Pirates for 5.1 innings during his last time out a week ago before leaving early with cramping. Now he’s back and ready to go. The Yankees’ lineup is good, but this will be a real challenge, especially for the strikeout-prone Jones in his MLB debut.

There will be interesting things to watch all over the field in this one, and we hope you’ll come join us in the game thread!
