Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
The right-hander was released by the Brewers in November of 2023 but eventually re-signed on a two-year deal as he sat out 2024 while recovering from shoulder surgery. Woodruff spent most of 2023 on the shelf but was electric when available with a 2.28 ERA and 0.82 WHIP in 11 starts. That production wasn't exactly out of the ordinary, as he had a 3.02 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 10.8 K/9 in 92 starts over the previous four seasons. The question now is whether he can recapture that form after missing a full season, and there's also the possibility he faces some workload limitations given his limited innings over the past two years. There is tons of upside given his track record and Milwaukee's penchant for getting the most out of its pitchers, but there's still some risk with Woodruff coming off the injury. Read Past Outlooks

Hits seven innings in rehab start
Woodruff (ankle) struck out six and allowed one unearned run on five hits and no walks over seven innings in his rehab start Wednesday with High-A Wisconsin.
ANALYSIS
Woodruff took the hill Wednesday for his eighth rehab start and his second since resuming his assignment May 21 after a brief shutdown due to right ankle tendinitis. The right-hander's surgically repaired shoulder doesn't seem to be much of a concern at this stage, and after an efficient 74-pitch performance Wednesday, his ankle issue seemingly isn't causing him any problems either. Even so, the Brewers are still expected to have Woodruff make another rehab start next Tuesday with Triple-A Nashville, per MLB.com. If all goes well in that outing, Woodruff will likely be cleared to return from the 15-day injured list and slot into the Milwaukee rotation June 8 or 9 for what would be his first MLB appearance since Sept. 23, 2023.

Woodruff's shoulder was the story of his 2023 season and he will likely miss the entirety of 2024 after undergoing surgery to repair the anterior capsule in his right shoulder in October. He was placed on the injured list after just two starts last season and didn't pitch again until August. While there was some hope initially that the two-time All-Star could return by the end of June, the Brewers slowed down his rehab, as he wasn't recovering from his bullpens as well as the team hoped. That news proved ominous, but the Brewers still decided to bring Woodruff back on a two-year deal, with an eye toward 2025.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Connected to Mets
Woodruff, who is recovering from right shoulder surgery, has drawn interest from the Mets, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Woodruff won't pitch until late in the 2024 season, if at all, following surgery in October to repair the anterior capsule in his shoulder. However, he's received plenty of interest from clubs willing to wait out his rehab in hopes that he can be a frontline starter again in 2025. New Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns, of course, helmed the Brewers' front office during most of Woodruff's tenure in Milwaukee.
