Woodruff (3-0) earned the win in Saturday's game against the Nationals, allowing two runs on one hit and one walk while striking out eight across six innings.

EDGE Analysis

It was a dominant start for Woodruff, who faced the minimum number of batters in five of six innings. He generated nine whiffs on 88 pitches (60 strikes), and his only blemish came in the third inning, when he yielded a two-run homer to Robert Hassell. Woodruff has four quality starts over his first five starts of the season and has a 2.01 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 11.7 K/9 across 22.1 innings. He'll look to go 4-0 in his next start, which is slated for next weekend at home against the Mets.

Woodruff didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Miami, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks with six strikeouts over six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Woodruff made his fourth appearance of the 2025 campaign and notched his third quality start. The 32-year-old has picked up right where he left off before suffering a shoulder injury in October of 2023, posting a 2.01 ERA and a 29:3 K:BB over 22.1 innings. Woodruff didn't walk a batter during his first three starts before issuing three free passes Sunday. He's on track to pitch at Washington next weekend.

Woodruff was removed from Monday's start against the Mariners due to a calf cramp, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. He earned his second win of the season after allowing two hits and striking out five over six scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

Woodruff cruised through six innings on 62 pitches, but he was kept from working deeper into the matchup because of the cramp. The right-hander stated after the game that the cramp was a "non-issue," per McCalvy, so the issue is unlikely to impact his availability moving forward. Woodruff's next outing tentatively lines up for Monday against the Cubs.

Woodruff allowed two runs on five hits and struck out 10 without walking a batter over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Nationals on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Woodruff gave up the first two runs of the game on solo home runs by Daylen Lile and Brady House. The Brewers got him off the hook with a three-run tally in the fourth inning, but Woodruff is still building up after a lengthy recovery from shoulder surgery and elbow and ankle injuries. He was pulled at 81 pitches (57 strikes) in an altogether strong performance, though he's now given up three homers over 10.1 innings across two starts this season. Woodruff has also racked up 18 strikeouts without issuing a walk, so there are positive signs that the 32-year-old right-hander can get back to pre-surgery form during the second half.

Woodruff (1-0) earned the win against the Marlins on Sunday, allowing one run on two hits and no walks with eight strikeouts over six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Woodruff dominated in his first big-league start in 652 days, with the lone blemish being a solo homer in the fifth inning. He needed just 70 pitches to deliver a quality start, generating 10 whiffs while averaging 93 mph with both his fastball and sinker. It was an encouraging return for the 32-year-old, who will look to build on the outing in a favorable matchup against the Nationals next weekend.

Woodruff (elbow/ankle/shoulder) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list to start Sunday against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Woodruff will make his first MLB appearance since Sept. 23, 2023 now that he's made a full recovery from shoulder surgery along with minor ankle and elbow injuries suffered during his minor-league rehab assignments. The 32-year-old has pitched in 10 minor-league games this season across multiple assignments, and he threw 82 pitches across 3.2 frames in his final rehab outing with Triple-A Nashville last weekend. The Brewers are likely to be cautious with Woodruff given the long layoff, but he shouldn't be facing significant workload limitations.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that he expects Woodruff (elbow/ankle/shoulder) to return from the 60-day injured list to start Sunday's game against the Marlins in Miami, Sophia Minnaert of FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin reports.

EDGE Analysis

Woodruff has faced a long road back from his October 2023 capsule repair surgery on his right shoulder and was further set back during his rehab assignment when he battled right ankle tendinitis in May and a right elbow contusion in June, but he's finally ready to make his 2025 debut for Milwaukee. Over the course of his 10-start assignment between High-A Wisconsin and Triple-A Nashville, Woodruff accrued a 2.79 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 35:12 K:BB in 42 innings. He built up to 82 pitches in his final minor-league outing Sunday, and while the Brewers will likely keep a close eye on his workload in Miami, Woodruff should be able to work deep enough into the game to qualify for a win. Woodruff owns a career 3.10 ERA over parts of seven big-league seasons and looks like a worthy speculative pickup in most fantasy leagues where he's available, though managers should keep expectations in check while he makes his first MLB appearance in 652 days.

Woodruff (elbow) has completed his rehab assignment and is expected to be activated from the injured list to start this weekend against the Marlins, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

After a tumultuous rehab from shoulder surgery late in 2023, Woodruff is finally ready to make his return to the big-league mound for Milwaukee. The 32-year-old threw 80 pitches over 3.2 frames during his final rehab outing with Triple-A Nashville on Sunday, so he shouldn't have any major workload limitations in his first start. However, the Brewers are likely to remain cautious with the right-hander in his first MLB start since September of 2023.

Woodruff (elbow/ankle/shoulder) struck out one and allowed four earned runs on four hits and three walks across 3.2 innings in his rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

Though his results were less-than-stellar in what was his 10th rehab start overall, Woodruff more importantly emerged from Sunday's outing healthy while also tossing 82 pitches (53 strikes). The right-hander sported an average fastball velocity of 93 miles per hour -- just under two ticks behind his average from his last healthy season in 2023 -- and topped out at 95.4 mph. Assuming he feels fine physically coming out of his next bullpen session, Woodruff is expected to return from the 60-day injured list to make a start next weekend in Miami in what will be his first appearance for the Brewers since Sept. 23, 2023. He didn't pitch at any level in 2024 while recovering from his October 2023 right shoulder capsule surgery and had his rehab assignment sidetracked by a bout with right ankle tendinitis in May and a right elbow contusion earlier this month, but Woodruff was effective on the whole in his 10 starts between Nashville and High-A Wisconsin, logging a 2.79 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 35:12 K:BB in 42 innings. Though expectations should be tempered for Woodruff as he makes his way back from a lengthy stay on the IL, he'll at least make for a worthwhile speculative pickup in shallow or mid-sized leagues where he might still be available on the waiver wire.

Woodruff (elbow/ankle/shoulder) will resume his rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Sunday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Woodruff tossed a 60-pitch sim game Monday and has been given the green light to resume his rehab assignment, which was paused on two separate occasions due to ankle tendinitis and a right elbow contusion. The veteran right-hander has not pitched in a major-league game since undergoing shoulder surgery in October of 2023, but if all goes well Sunday, he could return to the Brewers' rotation next weekend against the Marlins.
