Brandon Woodruff News
The Milwaukee Brewers placed right-hander Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) on the 60-day injured list on Wednesday to make room on the 40-man roster for recently signed catcher Gary Sanchez. Woodruff was able to begin a throwing program last week and is over four months removed from having surgery on the anterior capsule in his right shoulder in October that will keep him out for the entire 2024 season. While the 31-year-old is feeling great following his surgery, he still faces a long recovery process and will be off the fantasy radar in single-year leagues this spring. Fantasy managers that take on the two-time All-Star next year will be dealing with some risk/reward in hopes that Woodruff can return to his pre-injury form.
The Milwaukee Brewers and right-hander Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) agreed to an undisclosed two-year deal on Monday. The Brewers non-tendered Woodruff this offseason after he had surgery to fix the anterior capsule in his right shoulder, but the 31-year-old veteran will now be back in Milwaukee. Because of his injury, he won't pitch at all in 2024 and therefore will be off the fantasy radar in all single-year leagues. It remains to be seen if Woodruff will return ace value for fantasy managers when he returns in 2025. The two-time All-Star had a career-best 2.28 ERA and 0.82 WHIP with 15 walks and 74 strikeouts in 11 starts (67 innings) last year before getting hurt, and he owns a strong career ERA of 3.10 with a 1.04 WHIP and 788 K's in 680 1/3 major-league innings over seven seasons for the Brewers.
SNY's Andy Martino said Tuesday that the New York Mets could consider signing free-agent starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (shoulder), although nothing is close to being finalized between the two sides. The 30-year-old, who underwent right shoulder surgery in 2023, may not pitch at all in 2024 but is likely looking for a two-year deal. Woodruff has been a high-end starter throughout his career when healthy and went 5-1 in 11 starts and 67 innings pitched in 2023 with a 2.28 ERA, 0.82 WHIP, and 29.2% strikeout rate. Woodruff has spent his entire seven-year career with the Brewers, coinciding with Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns' time as the Brewers' general manager.

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!
