Brandon Woodruff News
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (illness) has been scratched from his scheduled start on Sunday. Instead, left-hander Eric Lauer will take the mound in his place versus the Cleveland Indians. He could have some streaming value here, but probably just a low-end option. It sounds like Woodruff has a stomach bug and will take the mound on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable using him in a matchup versus the Detroit Tigers shaky lineup.
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (9-7) earned the win over San Francisco on Tuesday, allowing one run on five hits and three walks while striking out eight over six innings. The right-hander threw 70 of 92 pitches for strikes and induced an astounding 19 swings and misses. The only run he allowed came off a Brandon Belt home run in the sixth inning. Woodruff has bounced back from yielding a season-high six runs to St. Louis on August 19th by allowing only one earned run over his last 12 innings. He'll carry a 2.35 ERA and 185:40 K: BB into his next start, which is tentatively slated to come at home against Philadelphia on Monday.
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff struck out 10 across six scoreless innings during a 4-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday. The two-time All-Star was stellar, generating 30 CSW while allowing just four singles on 104 pitches. The Brew Crew ace is now 8-7 with a 2.38 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, and 177 strikeouts across 151 1/3 innings pitched. The 28-year-old will look to continue his strong season early next week on the road against the San Francisco Giants.

Brandon Woodruff didn't post a winning record for the Brewers in 2020 (3-5), but he did everything else fantasy managers look for. His 3.05 ERA and 3.29 xFIP over 73 2/3 IP were great for fantasy managers looking for ratio help. He also posted a K% above 30 for the first time in his career at 31.1, and his spin rate appears to be the reason why. Woodruff averaged 2,257 RPM on his four-seamer in 2019, leading to good but not great numbers (11.9 SwStr%, 60.3 Zone%). He upped his spin rate to 2,457 RPM last season, transforming it into one of the best heaters in the game (17.5 SwStr%, 62.7 Zone%). Furthermore, Woodruff held opponents to a .269 BABIP thanks to an IFFB% spike (5% in '19, 17.2% last season) that also seems connected to his spin rate. His fastball's IFFB% didn't change that much year-over-year (28.1% vs. 32%), but its FB% skyrocketed (31.7% to 46.3%). He also mixed in more sinkers, potentially helping his fastball play up. Woodrow's secondaries include a slider (17.6 SwStr%, 38.9 Zone%, 33.8% chase rate) and a changeup (15 SwStr%, 39.9 Zone%, 35.9% chase), both of which are more good than great. Therefore, Woodrow will need to retain his improved spin rate to earn his current ADP of 38.61.
