Woodruff was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Friday. He will start Saturday's game against the Nationals.
Woodruff should serve as the Brewers' No. 4 starter this month. He has posted a 1.62 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 12 strikeouts in 16.2 innings (three starts) in the majors this season after more than holding his own in the harsh conditions at Colorado Springs and the Pacific Coast League. That ERA looks pretty good, but his 5.25 xFIP suggests he has the potential to regress in a major way this month. If Woodruff stumbles, Junior Guerra is an option to get starts.
