Woodruff Near Return to Brewers

Brandon Woodruff is poised to make his long-awaited return to the majors, with manager Pat Murphy confirming his next start will be with the big club after a strong rehab outing—82 pitches, 90-92 mph fastball. This follows Murphy’s repeated confidence since last weekend, signaling no setbacks this time, unlike last year’s late-stage derailments. With the Brewers’ rotation set through Sunday, Woodruff’s likely return is Monday, June 22, against the Reds—a spot with no starter yet named. If he reclaims his pre-injury dominance (2.33 ERA over 19 innings in his last four starts), he could be the game-changer the Brewers need to stay atop the NL Central.
