The Milwaukee Brewers traded away two-time All-Star Freddy Peralta earlier this off-season. This was significant for multiple reasons, not the least of which was that they were going to need a new Opening Day starting pitcher. Peralta had started each of the past two Opening Days for Milwaukee following the trade of Corbin Burnes during the 2024 off-season.

Peralta, of course, was sent to the New York Mets, and he has already been named their Opening Day starting pitcher. At first, many thought it would be Brandon Woodruff who would start the Brewers’ first game of the season. After all, Woodruff was Milwaukee’s Opening Day starter in 2020 and 2021.

But the team is not sure their two-time All-Star former ace will even be healthy enough to start the season. And so, the nod is going to Jacob Misiorowski.

Milwaukee Brewers name Jacob Misiorowski their Opening Day Starter

On Friday, it was reported that Misiorowski, who was named to the NL All-Star team after just five starts as a rookie in 2025, would be the Brewers’ Opening Day starter. He is the third-youngest Opening Day starter in franchise history.

Additionally, it was reported that manager Pat Murphy and three-time All-Star Christian Yelich broke the news to Misiorowski in way that made it seem like he was being punished for a poor performance during the team’s rookie talent show:

Pat Murphy called Christian Yelich into the meeting to tell Jacob Misiorowski he was the opening day starter. They told Miz that his rookie talent show performance was so bad they had to do something about it — and that something is naming him opening day starter.

Misiorowski and the Brewers will face the Chicago White Sox at home at American Family Field for Opening Day. The White Sox have announced that former Brewers prospect Shane Smith will be their starting pitcher for the first game of the season.

To no surprise, Jacob Misiorowski has been named the Milwaukee Brewers’ Opening Day starter for 2026. A few months ago, giving him the nod over Brandon Woodruff or Quinn Priester might’ve raised eyebrows, but with Woodruff not yet at full strength and Priester headed to the IL, Misiorowski quickly became the clear choice.

For Misiorowski, it’s just the latest milestone in a rapidly rising young MLB career. Last season, he checked off his debut, earned his first All-Star selection, and pitched in both the NLDS and NLCS, excelling in each, which likely helped cement his case for this year’s Opening Day nod.

From a bird’s-eye view, Misiorowski taking the mound opposite Shane Smith of the Chicago White Sox carries a bit of narrative weight, it not only highlights a former Brewers farmhand now on the other side, but also marks the youngest Opening Day starter for Milwaukee since 2002

Jacob Misiorowski will be the youngest Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher on Opening Day since Ben Sheets in 2002

Back in 2002, the Brewers deployed a 23 year old named Ben Sheets to open the season in Houston against the Astros. The team won 9-3 and Sheets threw six innings, struck out eight, and gave up two earned runs. At the time, Sheets was the second youngest Milwaukee pitcher to throw on Opening Day, trailing only Bill Parsons from the 1972 season.

Fast forward to 2026, and Misiorowski will take the mound just a few months older than Sheets was at the time, making him the third-youngest Opening Day starter in franchise history. This is a testament to how quickly he’s risen into a cornerstone role for Milwaukee and likely won’t be his last.

The Milwaukee Bucks are slowly slogging their way to the end of what has been their worst season in a decade. All year long, they have been plagued by injuries to multiple players, but most notably to two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. Indeed, multiple calf strains have caused Giannis to miss more than half of Milwaukee’s games, and now a bone bruise and hyperextended knee threaten to end his season.

It is fairly well known at this point that the Bucks have approached their ten-time All-Star about shutting down for the rest of the season. Milwaukee is all-but eliminated from postseason contention, and Giannis would not be 100% healthy anyway. However, he does not want to shut down. He wants to come back in a week.

It is a tense situation.

Milwaukee Bucks vs Utah Jazz (Game 2 of 2025-206 NBA season)

On Thursday, the entire state of Wisconsin is focused on following the Badgers men’s basketball team as they begin NCAA Tournament play. Indeed, the Badgers have given basketball fans in the state much more to enjoy than the Bucks have this season.

With the focus on Wisconsin, some may have forgotten that Milwaukee plays tonight, too. They will be taking on the 20-49 Utah Jazz, who have already been eliminated from playoff contention in the Western Conference.

The Bucks won the first meeting before the two teams this season 12 days ago by the score of 113-99. Giannis scored 27 points in 27 minutes that game to go with nine rebounds and eight assists.

He will not, however, be playing today.

The Jazz have yet to submit their injury report for tonight’s game.

Milwaukee, WI – Blizzard conditions across Wisconsin Sunday morning are making travel dangerous and prompting officials to urge residents to stay home if possible.

According to the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office, drivers should avoid unnecessary travel as snow, wind and icy roads continue affecting highways and local streets across the state.

A Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) road conditions update posted around 7:25 a.m. Sunday showed many counties where travel is “not advised.” The state’s 511 road conditions map indicates widespread snow-covered highways, reduced visibility and hazardous driving conditions across large portions of Wisconsin.

Transportation officials say blowing snow, slick roads and poor visibility remain the primary concerns for drivers throughout the morning hours. The map shows several regions experiencing winter driving impacts, with multiple highways and county routes marked as hazardous or partially covered.

Officials are encouraging residents to limit travel to emergencies or essential trips only while crews continue monitoring conditions.

Drivers are urged to check 511wi.gov or the 511WI mobile app for real-time updates on road conditions, closures, traffic incidents and camera views before attempting to travel.

Authorities also remind motorists that conditions can change quickly during blizzard events, especially when strong winds reduce visibility and cause snow to drift back onto cleared roadways.

For commuters and students planning to travel Sunday, officials recommend delaying trips if possible until road conditions improve later in the day.
