Woodruff (elbow/ankle/shoulder) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list to start Sunday against the Marlins.
Woodruff will make his first MLB appearance since Sept. 23, 2023 now that he's made a full recovery from shoulder surgery along with minor ankle and elbow injuries suffered during his minor-league rehab assignments. The 32-year-old has pitched in 10 minor-league games this season across multiple assignments, and he threw 82 pitches across 3.2 frames in his final rehab outing with Triple-A Nashville last weekend. The Brewers are likely to be cautious with Woodruff given the long layoff, but he shouldn't be facing significant workload limitations.
