Brewers' Pitcher Brandon Woodruff Exits Start in 2nd Inning After Drop in Velocity
Brandon Woodruff averaged 85.4 mph on his fastball, well below his season mark, before Brewers coaches pulled him from the game.
- On Thursday, Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff exited his start against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the second inning after throwing 21 pitches that failed to exceed 86.9 mph.
- Woodruff's fastball averaged 85.4 mph, down 7.1 mph from his season average of 92.5 mph, a concerning dip given his history of shoulder surgery and a lat strain that sidelined him last year.
- Manager Pat Murphy explained the removal was precautionary, stating, "We're not going to risk anything, maybe long-term by having him try to step on it." Woodruff reported no pain during the stint.
- Relief pitcher Grant Anderson replaced Woodruff, striking out Nolan Arenado and Alek Thomas to end the inning. Woodruff holds a 2-1 record and 3.77 ERA across six starts this season.
- The Brewers signed Woodruff to a $22 million qualifying offer this winter, securing him for 2026 with hopes he would remain healthy. His 3.13 career ERA stands as the best in team history for any pitcher with at least 500 innings.
