Brandon Woodruff Transferred to 60-Day Injured List
Jacob Misiorowski on the 40-man roster, the Milwaukee Brewers transferred right-hander Brandon Woodruff (elbow, shoulder) to the 60-day injured list on Thursday. Right-hander Easton McGee was also optioned to Triple-A Nashville. The move doesn't alter Woodruff's timetable to return to the big-league rotation for the first time since 2023. The 32-year-old veteran had right-shoulder surgery in the fall of 2023 and didn't pitch at all last year. He was nearing a return this year before dealing with an ankle injury, and then he recently had a setback when he was drilled in his right elbow by a comebacker. Woodruff will need a couple more minor-league rehab starts but should rejoin Milwaukee's starting rotation before the All-Star break, barring a third setback. Before his shoulder injury, Woodruff was a fantasy ace.
