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
Gets back on mound
Woodruff (elbow/ankle/shoulder) tossed a 25-pitch bullpen session Sunday and checked out fine physically, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Woodruff looks to be fully recovered at this point from his October 2023 shoulder surgery, but a couple of unrelated setbacks on the health front during his rehab assignment have delayed him from making his 2025 MLB debut. He was briefly shut down in mid-May after experiencing ankle tendinitis following his sixth rehab start, and after returning to action May 21, he made three more starts before exiting his most recent outing with Triple-A Nashville on June 3 when he was struck in his pitching elbow by a comebacker. Fortunately, Woodruff suffered nothing more than a contusion on the elbow, and after completing his side session Sunday, he acknowledged that the recent time off allowed him to clean up his pitching mechanics. According to Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Woodruff is slated to throw another bullpen session of about 40 pitches Wednesday or Thursday before restarting his rehab assignment. He'll likely need to get stretched back out to around 80 pitches over the course of two or three starts in the minors before potentially returning from the 60-day injured list shortly before the All-Star break.

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.
