What happened: Jacob Misiorowski is lined up to start twice before the All-Star break, including the final Sunday. Under MLB rules, that schedule would make him ineligible to pitch in the All-Star Game two days later, unless a rainout alters the rotation.

Why it matters: The schedule could keep one of baseball's hardest-throwing starters out of the showcase despite his selection. It also prioritizes his regular-season workload and availability beyond the break.

By the numbers: Misiorowski is 9-4 with a 1.47 ERA and 156 strikeouts in 104 innings this season. He leads qualified pitchers in ERA and all MLB pitchers in strikeouts, while his fastball has reached 105.5 mph.

What to watch: Watch whether weather disrupts his scheduled starts or the rotation changes before the break.
