Brandon Woodruff to Resume Throwing on Saturday, Return Imminent?
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) has been cleared to resume throwing on Saturday after visiting with Dr. Keith Meister on Tuesday, according to Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. It sounds as though Woodruff won't have to do much building back up or go on a minor-league rehab assignment before rejoining the team's starting rotation. The Brewers put Woodruff on the 15-day injured list last Friday with right-shoulder inflammation after his fastball couldn't get over 85 mph on the radar gun in his most recent outing. The 33-year-old veteran and two-time All-Star was pain-free, though, prompting the Brewers to believe he was just dealing with a dead arm. That appears to be the case after Meister cleared Woodruff of any structural damage this week. Woodruff hasn't been bad in his six starts for Milwaukee this year, going 2-1 with a 3.60 ERA and 1.03 WHIP, but he has just a 7.5 K/9, and he'll be extremely risky for fantasy purposes whenever he rejoins the team's starting rotation. Woodruff's return could be bad news for pitching prospect Logan Henderson.
