Brandon Woodruff Approaching Return, Set to Face Hitters on Friday
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) threw a 30-pitch bullpen on Monday and is "tentatively" scheduled to face live hitters on Friday, per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. Woodruff has been on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation since he experienced a drastic drop in his velocity during his start against the Arizona Diamondbacks on April 30. Woodruff was off to a solid start to 2026 before the injury, posting a 2-1 record with a 3.60 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and 25 strikeouts across 30 innings (six starts). However, the 33-year-old has made just 29 starts since the start of the 2023 season and has an extensive history of shoulder issues. He appears to be making progress towards a return in early June, but Woodruff remains a major injury risk for fantasy managers going forward.
