Brandon Woodruff News
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Brandon Woodruff allowed four runs on three hits over 5 1/3 innings in a 9-8 win over the Texas Rangers on Friday. Woodruff took a no-decision as he struck out four and walked two in the win. The veteran hurler missed over four months of the season with a shoulder issue but he has been pitching well since returning, posting a 2-1 record, 2.89 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, and 30 strikeouts over 28 innings of work. H will be back in action on Friday against the San Diego Padres.
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff will make his fifth start of the season on Friday, taking on Andrew Heaney and the Texas Rangers. The right-hander missed about four months of action due to a shoulder strain this year but has been great when healthy, posting a 1.99 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, and 30.6% strikeout rate through 22 2/3 innings. The Rangers are a top-two offense in terms of OPS this season, but Woodruff has been a fantasy ace for a while now and can be trusted in any matchup.
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) is set to return on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Woodruff has been out since April 7 with a shoulder strain and has gone through an extensive rehabilitation process to get himself ready to return to the majors. He posted a 3.09 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, and 11:2 K:BB ratio in 11 IP while on his rehab assignment and built himself up well enough that he should be able to throw 80-plus pitches in his first start back. The righty should have already been stashed in all fantasy leagues and can be thrown back into lineups immediately.

We have now seen four straight years of Woodruff turning in strikeout rates above 29% and walk rates below 7%. It's very easy to have success with a K%-BB% that high, and it's also very easy to believe he can do that again in 2023. Woodruff's ERA in 2022 checked in at 3.05 while he posted a strong 1.07 WHIP to boot. He did have some slight injury issues, reaching just 153 innings pitched last year, but he finished the year healthy and was pitching great, so we don't have much reason to be worried about health in 2023. The big righty has two great fastballs in his arsenal (a four-seamer and a sinker), and he really improved on the changeup in 2023 posting an otherworldly 28.1% SwStr% on that pitch. It seems unfair to possess all the great pitches that Woodruff possesses, and he will be just 30 years old for the 2023 season. The best part about Woodruff is, for whatever reason, he typically falls out of the first couple of rounds. He is a first-round talent that you can get in the third or maybe fourth round in your draft - take advantage!
