Milwaukee Brewers used 17 initial brootters in 2024, because their rotation was decimated by injuries. Already in 2025 they know that they will be without a left -handed brootor Robert Gasser, who needed Tommy John Operation after five spectacular starts in their first main taste, which saw him in 2-0 and 2.57 era records. Colin Rea, who last year made 27 starts (second in the team), now plays for Chicago Cubs.
In order to boost the initial depth of pitching at 2025, Brewers exchanged two stars closer to Devin Williams to New York Yankees on Nestor Cortes (and the perspective of Infield Caleb Durbin). In the case of Cortes, Milwaukee has a turnover covering Freddy Peralta, Tobias Myers, Cortes and Aaron Civale.
One pitcher, which at some point will be in the mix, is a two -time star Brandon Woodruffwho tries to go back after the shoulder injury, which kept him aside for the larger two years.
Three to take out of the latest update of the Milwaukee Brewers Brandon Woodruff injury
In 2022, Woodruff went 13-4 with Era 3.05 during 27 starts. He started starting an even better start in 2023, walking 5-1 with Era 2.58 in 11 starts. Unfortunately, the injuries were used for him, crowned with severe shoulder ailment, which required surgery. He left all 2024 in hope for a return in 2025.
At the weekend he broke his second Spring Session. On Saturday he talked to reporters to give recovery update, where he is in terms of speed and when he can return to the game.

1. He is delighted with how his arm recovers after throwing
“I felt good, this time I felt better. He recovered better, so it’s a great sign. You just have to constantly use such days. It will take some time to recover everything, but if I can get off the mound, come the next day and feel good, it’s a great day. “
After his first live session with Hitters, Woodruff emphasized that his ability to return to the game would depend on how well his arm returned after the throwing session. As you can say from the above quote, after the second session he felt better than the first, indicating that strength returns.
2. Brandon Woodruff has no schedule to return to the game
“No, I don’t have a schedule. I think that thanks to this surgery, in fact, every shoulder surgery, you need to spend some time and you don’t know exactly when this day is. Now, if it was playing playoff and you needed someone, I mean, I would go there. But we are so far from that. But no, I don’t mean the day. I have to get innings, whatever it looks. I can’t really comment when it will be in the main leagues. “
From this quote, it is clear that Woodruff and Piwnica do not force him to return at a certain time. He will be ready when he is ready. If this happens during spring training, the better; But this is not something they are counting on.
If he is unable to get the Inns during spring training, there will be rehabilitation at minors to get them before returning to Milwaukee.
3. Woodruff lost about 4-5 km / h on its fastball
“I think I had about 92 yesterday, which was almost the same as the first day. So less adrenaline this time, the same numbers Velo as a great sign. This time I recovered better. At this point, this is absolute home. “
Later, asked if 92 km / h is what he could expect at the moment of spring training before the injury, Woodruff said: “You know, for the first time you are heading to Hitters, he can jump to half or upper 90s, but as far as The passage of time spring comes down to this range 93 to 95, and this is the peaks, so I’m sitting a little below. “
The initial loss of speed should be expected after the first few times, when his first sometimes threw the Hitters after a earnest shoulder surgery. He stated, however, that after the second session he felt more normal than the first.
In other words, his fastball is still, well, speedy. Just not as much as it used to be. But that doesn’t mean you won’t get there, or at least get closer to it.
