Brandon Woodruff or Cristian Mena Player Notes
	Brandon Woodruff SP - MIL	Cristian Mena SP,RP - ARI
News
	Brandon Woodruff has been cleared to start a throwing progression. Ari Koslow Sat, Aug 22nd	Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo told reporters Cristian Mena will undergo season-ending surgery on his shoulder. Ari Koslow Mon, Jun 1st
	Brandon Woodruff will undergo shoulder surgery "with the goal in mind of pitching again." Diego Sandoval Sat, Jul 18th	Cristian Mena is scheduled to resume his throwing program next week. Nicholas Rodriguez Sat, May 16th
	Brandon Woodruff is expected to address the media for an update on his shoulder injury on Sunday. Ari Koslow Fri, Jul 17th	The Diamondbacks placed RHP Christian Mena on the 60-day injured list with a strained right shoulder. Ari Koslow Wed, Mar 25th
	Brewers GM Matt Arnold says the team is "still working through" Brandon Woodruff's shoulder injury. Ari Koslow Wed, Jul 15th	D-backs right-hander Cristian Mena felt discomfort in his right shoulder and has been shut down from throwing. Brenton Kemp Thu, Feb 26th
	The Brewers transferred RHP Brandon Woodruff to the 60-day injured list. Ari Koslow Sun, Jul 12th
Notes
	Brandon Woodruff returned to the mound in 2025 and was highly effective on a per-inning basis, posting a 3.20 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, and an elite 32.3% strikeout rate across 64.2 innings. The sample size again tells the story: he has been oft injured in recent seasons, logging just 12 starts in 2025 after making only 11 in 2023. The 2026 projections reflect that duality: strong ratios and a healthy strikeout total on a per-start basis, but fantasy managers have to temper their expectations on his durability. Fantasy managers should bake in missed time and pair him with safer innings volume rather than relying on him as a staff anchor. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
