Milwaukee Brewers: Brandon Woodruff to 30 pitches, says he’s ‘in a really good place’

Milwaukee Brewers jug Brandon Woodruff he missed the 2023 playoff series against the Arizona Diamondbacks, as well as the entire 2024 season, due to shoulder problems that ultimately required surgery. Recovering from shoulder surgery for pitchers can be a rollercoaster, but he recently started talking about where he’s at in the recovery process and how he’s feeling overall.

According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, Brandon Woodruff throws bulls out of season on Tuesdays and Fridays. He’s about to hit 30 pitches and then start throwing simulated innings. Then, for the first time in 15 months, he will be ready to face the hits live. Before he does that, he’ll go to the Brewers Arizona complicated and dig into the pitcher’s lab and see where his stuff is, because currently, by design, he had no radar during his runs.

Subjectively, Brandon Woodruff feels like he’s in a really good place, including where he was just three months ago when he was still regularly working with the Brewers. Woodruff said: “The further away I get, the more months I spend under pressure on my bar, the better. Really, these first few months that come into the season are crucial. I think if I can get through this and do well, everything will be fine.

Will Brandon Woodruff be ready for Opening Day in 2025?

When asked about his schedule, Brandon Woodruff didn’t promise he’d be ready for Opening Day. He said: “I honestly can’t answer that question, but I can say my mindset is to prepare for it. I’m getting ready to perform, whether it’s in New York or whether I end up at the back of the rotation, who knows?”

It will be interesting to see how Brandon Woodruff fares this year for the Brewers. He’s essentially on a one-year deal that pays him $5.0 million for the 2025 season, but has a $20 million mutual option for the 2026 season that includes a $10 million buyout.
