Fantasy Impact

There’s no word yet on what may be ailing Woodruff, but it’s never a good sign when a pitcher leaves after warm-ups. Hopefully, it’s nothing serious. Check back for further updates on Woodruff’s status after Friday's game.

Brewers SP Brandon Woodruff turned in another quality start Saturday, allowing one run on five hits while also striking out six in six innings pitched in the Brewers' 5-1 win over the Nationals.

Fantasy Impact

Woodruff has allowed three runs or less in three of four starts on the mound this month for the Brewers, holding a 30K/4BB ratio and 4.29 ERA in that span. The right-hander continues to be a reliable option in all fantasy formats, holding an 11.12 K/9 ratio to go along with a 1.29 WHIP and 4.76 ERA in eight starts (5-2) on the mound this season.

Brandon Woodruff pitched five innings on Sunday, allowing three runs (one earned) on five hits and two walks, while striking out six in a 7-3 Brewers victory against the Marlins.

Fantasy Impact

Brandon Woodruff made it through five innings to earn his fourth victory of the season and improve to 4-2 despite his 5.35 ERA. The one earned run was the fewest Woodruff had allowed since April 20. Woodruff has 43 strike outs in 33 2/3 innings but he is still struggling to recover his ERA from his 3 2/3, 7 earned run first start of the season.

Brewers SP Brandon Woodruff struggled on the mound Monday, allowing six runs on eight hits while also walking two and striking out six in 4 1/3 innings pitched in the Brewers' 10-5 loss to the Reds.

Fantasy Impact

Woodruff has struggled on the mound in his last three starts, allowing 13 runs and striking out 24 in 14 innings pitched. The veteran right-hander holds a 5.97 earned run average and 1.36 WHIP with 37 strikeouts in 28 2/3 innings pitched this season.

Brandon Woodruff pitched 5 2/3 innings allowing four hits, three runs, and two homers while striking out 12 in Milwaukee's 6-3 win over Cincinnati.

Fantasy Impact

Woodruff looked like the right-handed ace fantasy managers drafted in the early rounds. While his ERA remains an unseemly 5.18, his WHIP has corrected and sits at 1.19. The 12 strikeouts are also a good sign; it marks the third straight outing where he struck out batters at a higher than 9.0 K/9 rate. The other good news is his expected ERA is 3.07, so we can anticipate significant positive regression in the future.
