Chad

Patrick

Misiorowski’s role heading into the postseason remains a bit unclear following his late-season struggles. However, the hard-throwing 23-year-old and fellow former top prospect Robert Gasser are expected to factor greatly into Milwaukee’s pitching plans with veteran Brandon Woodruff (lat) out of the mix. Jose Quintana, Quinn Priester and Chad Patrick are also on the roster as starting options in the best-of-five series against the division-rival Cubs. The other notable development is Andrew Vaughn getting the nod with Rhys Hoskins being left off the roster entirely.

Patrick was on three days’ rest after throwing 4 1/3 innings on Saturday, so this was going to be a short one. He’s done everything the Brewers have asked him this year in posting a 3.56 ERA in 23 starts and four relief appearances. He’s fanned 125 and walked 39 in 118 2/3 innings. It’s possible he’ll make one more appearance in some capacity on Sunday.

Chad Patrick draws the starting assignment for Wednesday’s series finale against the Padres out in San Diego with Priester getting a couple additional rest days. The 25-year-old rookie has certainly earned them, pitching to a brilliant 3.25 ERA across 152 1/3 innings over 28 appearances (23 starts) in his Brewers debut. He’ll be a key component of Milwaukee’s postseason rotation behind ace Freddy Peralta.

Rodriguez is going to be the bulk hurler behind Chad Patrick for Wednesday’s game against the Brewers. He’s struggled in his previous MLB action, and doesn’t make a good streaming option even before acknowledging a limited amount of innings.

Patrick struck out just three batters on the night and didn’t allow a base on balls. The 27-year-old hurler retired the first 10 batters that he faced in order before allowing three straight singles to produce a run in the fourth inning. He then allowed two straight hits and a sacrifice bunt to start the fifth inning before turning the ball over to the bullpen — and one of those inherited runners ultimately scored. Patrick got six whiffs on just 56 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of only 23 percent. He’ll carry a 3.66 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and a 119/37 K/BB ratio (115 2/3 innings) into his final start of the regular season on Friday against the Reds.

Quintana struggled in Sunday’s outing against the Cardinals and was lifted after only four innings and now we’re hearing that the calf injury may have had something to do with it. If he’s forced to miss his next start, the expectation is that Chad Patrick would be the most likely candidate to fill in for him. The Brewers should have an update on his status on Monday.

Patrick punched out six opposing hitters in the contest while issuing three walks. The Rangers scratched out a run against him in the second inning on an RBI single by Cody Freeman. Patrick then served up a two-run homer to Michael Helman in the fifth inning — the final batter that he faced in the ballgame. Patrick got 11 swings and misses on 80 pitches on the night — seven on his cutter — while posting a strong CSW of 34 percent. He now holds a 3.70 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and a 112/37 K/BB ratio over 109 1/3 innings in 22 appearances (21 starts) with the Brewers. The expectation is that he’ll head back to Triple-A Nashville after this start.

Patrick draws the starting assignment for Tuesday’s showdown against the injury-decimated Rangers at Globe Life Field. The 27-year-old rookie has held his own at the highest level this season with a respectable 3.60 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 106/34 K/BB ratio across 105 innings over 21 appearances (20 starts). He offers some appeal as a low-upside streaming option in extremely deep mixed leagues.

Patrick has been shipped back to the minors after striking out seven and allowing two runs over 5 2/3 innings on Sunday in a spot start against the Giants. There’s simply no room for him in Milwaukee’s rotation at the moment.

Patrick gave up four hits, walked two and struck out seven. The 27-year-old right-hander pitched well in what was a spot start to buy Brandon Woodruff an extra day of rest. Patrick was in line for the win before the blown save by Trevor Megill in the ninth inning. While Patrick proved to be good depth for the Brewers Sunday, he’ll still likely be headed back to the minors soon.
