Brandon Woodruff to Throw Live Batting Practice Next Week
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) will throw a live batting practice session of four ups or 60 pitches next week, according to Jack Stern of Brewer Fanatic. Woodruff is making slow progress after landing on the 15-day injured list in late April with what the team called right-shoulder inflammation. The 33-year-old veteran wasn't pitching terribly before going on the IL, but the two-time All-Star's velocity was noticeably down, and the team initially believed he was dealing with a dead-arm phase. It's worth noting that Woodruff got a late start to the 2025 season after recovering from right-shoulder surgery that wiped out his entire 2024 campaign. While his latest shoulder issue isn't necessarily related, it's more concerning since he recently had surgery on the same arm. It's unclear if Woodruff will need to eventually go on a minor-league rehab assignment, but the Brewers could really use him back after just placing Logan Henderson (back) on the IL. For his track record alone as a fantasy ace before his shoulder issues, Woodruff is worth stashing while he recovers. He is rostered in 87% of Yahoo leagues right now.
