Brandon Woodruff Declines Mutual Option for 2026
The Milwaukee Brewers announced on Monday that right-hander Brandon Woodruff (lat) declined his $20 million mutual option for the 2026 season and will officially become a free agent. Despite ending an injury-plagued season with a lat injury in late September, Woodruff will decline his 2026 option and take a $10 million buyout instead. The 32-year-old veteran hurler got a late start in 2025 while recovering from right-shoulder surgery that kept him out for the entire 2024 season. He suffered a setback while on his minor-league rehab assignment after being hit by a comebacker, but when he finally returned to Milwaukee, he was solid, going 7-2 with a 3.20 ERA and 0.91 WHIP with 83 punchouts and 14 walks over 12 games started. Woodruff is expected to be ready for spring training, but at his age and with his new team unknown, he'll be a high-risk, high-reward fantasy starting pitcher.
