The Brewers announced today that theyve placed right-hander on the 15-day injured list with a right lat strain. Woodruffs IL placement is retroactive to September 18. Left-hander was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move and is slated to start todays game for Milwaukee. Woodruffs retroactive placement on the shelf means that hell be eligible to return in time for the start of the NLDS on October 4. Of course, that would require Woodruff to be shelved for only a minimum stint on the IL, which is far from guaranteed. According to , Woodruff is suffering from a Georges Niang Jersey moderate lat strain in the words of manager Pat Murphy, and it is too early to tell how Woodruffs playoff availability may be impacted by the injury. reports that Woodruff is seeing a doctor in St. Louis today in order to get his injury a se sed after the strain occurred during the rightys bullpen se sion on Saturday. At the very least, the news brings Woodruffs regular season to an abrupt end. Woodruff will end the regular season with 12 starts under his belt, and a 3.20 ERA/3.18 FIP in 64 2/3 innings of work with a sensational 32.3% strikeout rate. Woodruff made just 11 starts in 2023 due to shoulder i sues and ultimately went under the knife in October of that year. That caused him to mi s the entire 2024 season, and an ankle injury during his rehab this season delayed his return to the big league mound until early July. He immediately slotted back into the top of Milwaukees rotation upon his return, and helped to sustain the hot streak that thrust the Brewers to the best record in all of baseball. The timing of this latest ailment is surely frustrating for both the Brewers and Woodruff himself, given its proximity to the playoffs. Woodruff acknowledged as much himself in comments made to reporters ( ) this morning. Woodruff noted that he wasnt surprised by the injury and noted hes been managing his shoulder for some time, adding that a setback could have occurred in June or July and that its just crappy timing that this happened to come up right before the postseason. With Woodruff sidelined, the Brewers potential postseason rotation is in flux. and appear to be locks to start playoff games, but theres little certainty outside of that. Woodruff would obviously get starts if and when he returns, and could find himself in the conversation as well depending on his own recovery from injury. While those two are shelved, however, theyll likely be forced to choose between struggling rookie and fellow rookie right-hander to round out the rotation. Perhaps Ga ser can put himself into the discu sion with a strong outing today, but the southpaw has not yet pitched in the majors this year after undergoing elbow surgery last year and has just 38 innings of work in the minors under his belt this season.
