Brandon Woodruff to Throw his First Bullpen on Thursday
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) is scheduled to throw his first bullpen session on Thursday since landing on the 15-day injured list, and a return in May remains possible, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. Woodruff was shut down with right-shoulder inflammation on May 1 after he could not top 85 mph with his fastball in his last outing on April 30 against the Arizona Diamondbacks, when he was pulled after just 1 1/3 innings. The 33-year-old veteran had fluid drained from his right shoulder last week and was cleared to resume throwing over the weekend. How his bullpen goes on Thursday should determine how quickly he can return to Milwaukee's starting rotation, but he's not expected to need much time to build his arm back up. The two-time All-Star did not pitch at all in 2024 after having right-shoulder surgery, and he made just 12 starts in 2025. Before his shoulder issues, Woodruff was a fantasy ace, but it's fair to wonder if he can ever get close to that form going forward. Fantasy managers are willing to find out, as he's currently rostered in 87% of Yahoo leagues.
