Brandon Woodruff "on Track to Begin the Season in the Rotation"
The Milwaukee Brewers say that starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (lat) is "on track to begin the season in the rotation," per Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The 33-year-old finished the 2025 season on the Injured List due to right lat strain and said on Monday that his status for Opening Day was "up in the air." However, Rosiak reports that Woodruff is scheduled to throw a live BP session on March 1 before beginning game progression. Woodruff missed the entire 2024 season and the first three-plus months of 2025 while recovering from shoulder surgery. He dominated upon his return until suffering the lat strain, recording a 7-2 record with a 3.20 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, and 81 strikeouts across 64 2/3 innings pitched (12 starts). Woodruff has a chance to be a high-end fantasy starting pitcher in 2026, but he carries a significant health risk at his current average draft position of pick 113.
