What happened: Tom Verducci said Milwaukee is using a Sunday schedule as a governor on Misiorowski’s innings. He called securing a first-round bye imperative to the workload plan.

Why it matters: The approach spaces out Misiorowski’s appearances as Milwaukee manages his workload. Postseason positioning could determine how much rest the rotation receives.

What to watch: Watch whether Milwaukee maintains the Sunday schedule and how the playoff picture shapes its rotation plan.
