Overview

• Woodruff was activated July 6 and delivered six scoreless innings with eight strikeouts and two hits allowed in his return against the Miami Marlins.
• To make room on the roster, the Brewers optioned right-hander Chad Patrick to Triple-A Nashville and placed outfielder Garrett Mitchell on the 60-day injured list.
• His comeback concludes a 20-month rehabilitation that included November 2023 anterior-capsule shoulder surgery and delays from ankle tendinitis and an elbow bruise.
• A two-time All-Star, Woodruff holds a 46-26 career record with a 3.10 ERA and was 3-0 with a 2.77 ERA in four prior starts against Miami.
• Milwaukee signed him to a backloaded two-year contract in February 2024 to lock in his role as a rotation anchor despite his lengthy absence.
