Brandon Woodruff

Brandon Woodruff has agreed to the Brewers' $22.05 million qualifying offer.

Fantasy Impact

Woodruff was effective when healthy in 2025, sporting a 3.20 ERA and 83 strikeouts in 64 innings. He'll look to continue that as a fixture in the Brewers' rotation.

The Milwaukee Brewers extended a one-year, $22.05 million qualifying offer to Brandon Woodruff (lat) on Thursday. This action follows Woodruff's decision earlier in the week to decline his $20 million mutual option for the 2026 season.

Fantasy Impact

Woodruff, who suffered a lat injury in late September, is expected to be a full-go for spring training. In 12 starts during the 2025 season, the veteran right-hander logged a 3.20 ERA with an 83:14 K:BB ratio across 64.2 innings. It is possible he will decline the qualifying offer in search of a multi-year deal.

Brandon Woodruff decided his $20 million mutual option with the Brewers and is now a free agent.

Fantasy Impact

Woodruff posted a 3.20 ERA and a 0.91 WHIP in 12 starts with the Brewers last season. Despite dealing with a lat injury late in the year, the veteran is expected to be ready for spring training.

Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Brandon Woodruff will not be available during the National League Division Series against the Chicago Cubs.

Fantasy Impact

Woodruff has been on the injured list since September 21 with a right lat strain. While he won't pitch in the NLDS, Murphy said that he has not been ruled out for the NLCS or World Series.

The Milwaukee Brewers placed Brandon Woodruff on the 15-day injured list on Sunday with a right lat strain, retroactive to September 18.

Fantasy Impact

Woodruff's lat strain occurred on the 13th pitch of his bullpen session on Saturday. He will see a doctor in St. Louis on Sunday to help determine the severity of the injury. He is eligible to return for the NLDS.
