Brandon Woodruff Making Cactus League Debut on Saturday
The Milwaukee Brewers announced that right-hander Brandon Woodruff (lat) is making his first Cactus League start on Saturday against the Los Angeles Angels. Woodruff missed all of the 2024 season while recovering from right-shoulder surgery, and he didn't make his 2025 debut until early July due to a few injury setbacks. The 33-year-old veteran then ended last season on the injured list with a right-lat strain. When on the mound for the Brew Crew last year, Woodruff was solid, going 7-2 with a 3.20 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, 83 strikeouts, and only 14 walks in 64 2/3 frames over 12 starts in the regular season. The Brewers haven't officially said that Woodruff will be in the team's Opening Day starting rotation, and if he is, fantasy managers should expect a short leash as he's eased back in. He was still successful last year with diminished velocity, but Woodruff is much more of a risk due to injury concerns. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 46 fantasy starting pitcher in 2026.
