2 entriesNEW: 15-day IL with right shoulder inflammation following the Thursday MRI. Fastball averaged 85.4 mph in his last start (down from 92.5 on the season). No timeline yet, but the velocity drop and shoulder/lat history suggest 4+ weeks is realistic. Easton McGee recalled.
NEW: Pulled after 1.1 IP Thursday with 'dead arm.' Fastball averaged 85.4 mph (none above 86.9) vs. 92.5 season average. MRI was Thursday night; Brewers will skip his next start while results are reviewed. No IL move yet but expected if MRI shows anything structural.
Waiver Wire
2 entriesPitcher List's top SP add. Woodruff is finishing his rehab from 2023 capsule surgery and is expected back next week. Even with the long layoff, his stuff has reportedly been intact in rehab outings — pre-surgery he was a top-10 SP. At 50% rostered, this is the time to claim and stash before he activates. Top-25 SP rest of season ceiling.
The comeback continues — 7 IP of one-run ball. Woodruff's velocity is back and the command has been sharp all month. If he slipped through your draft, fix it now. SP3 floor.
