Brandon Woodruff Still TBD for Opening Day
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Brandon Woodruff (lat) threw a four-inning simulated game in camp on Friday but said his status for Opening Day in late March is still to be determined, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. The Brewers aren't taking any chances with Woodruff going into the 2026 season after he got a late start in 2025 while recovering from right-shoulder surgery, before suffering a right-lat strain late in the year. The 33-year-old veteran has already thrown two innings in a Cactus League game. His primary goal is to be healthy for the entire season, so don't be surprised if Woodruff isn't in the Opening Day starting rotation. Woodruff was still very strong last year with a 3.20 ERA and 0.91 WHIP despite diminished velocity, and he's proven in the past that he can be one of the better pitchers in baseball. Injury concerns make him a high-risk, high-reward option in fantasy drafts this year with a ceiling of a SP2.
