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

Embarking on new rehab assignment
Woodruff (ankle) threw multiple simulated innings during a bullpen session Sunday and is expected to begin a rehab assignment Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Woodruff tweaked his right ankle May 11 in what was expected to be the final rehab start in his recovery from 2023 surgery on his throwing shoulder. He tested the ankle Sunday by throwing and doing fielding drills, and he's expected to begin a new rehab assignment Wednesday. Manager Pat Murphy said he expects Woodruff to make at least two rehab starts before being activated from the injured list.

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.
