Brandon Woodruff remains on the IL after making his final rehab outing on Sunday, as he’s now dealing with right ankle tendinitis.
Fantasy Impact
Woodruff is dealing with right ankle tendinitis, which surfaced prior to his final rehab start on Sunday, though he managed to pitch through it. While the early indication is that the injury is minor, it could impact his planned return this weekend against the Minnesota Twins. Woodruff is working his way back from capsule surgery on his right shoulder and hasn’t pitched in an MLB game since 2023. Fantasy managers with him stashed on the IL should monitor updates closely before activating him.
Brandon Woodruff is scheduled for one final rehab start with Triple-A on Sunday and is expected to rejoin the Milwaukee Brewers' rotation after.
Fantasy Impact
Barring any setbacks, Woodruff will rejoin the Brewers for next weekend's series against the Minnesota Twins. He's looked sharp in his five starts in the minors, posting a 2.70 ERA and 1.24 WHIP.
Brandon Woodruff is scheduled to make his next rehab start with Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Woodruff has impressed across four rehab starts between Single-A and Triple-A, logging a 2.45 ERA with 16 strikeouts over 18.1 innings. Reports suggest he'll make one final shorter appearance on May 11 before rejoining the Brewers' rotation. That said, the team plans to meet with Woodruff after Tuesday's start to reassess whether he'll need one more rehab start or is ready to join the big league club. Fantasy managers should be ready to activate him soon, as he appears close to making his season debut.
Brandon Woodruff is slated to make another rehab start before he is activated.
Fantasy Impact
Woodruff reportedly felt "tired" after his last rehab start, so it comes as no surprise he is making another start. He could be activated soon if all goes well in his next rehab start.
Brewers manager Pat Murphy told reporters Brandon Woodruff felt really tired after Thursday’s minor league rehab start for Triple-A Nashville.
Fantasy Impact
It is unclear what is next for Woodruff. Milwaukee will likely let him rest until his next start after throwing 61 pitches in a rehab start on Thursday. This will be a situation to monitor.
