Woodruff's Stellar Return and Ortiz's Sacrifice Fly in 10th Lift Brewers to 2-1 Win over Reds
Woodruff said his rehab buildup left him feeling ready, and manager Pat Murphy said the Brewers expect him to compete despite reduced velocity.
- On Monday, Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff returned to the rotation against the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park after a nearly two-month absence, facing right-hander Brady Singer.
- Shoulder inflammation sidelined Woodruff for roughly seven weeks after Dr. Keith Meister, who performed his 2023 surgery, drained fluid from a cyst in his shoulder during recovery.
- Woodruff completed two minor-league rehab starts, the last on June 16, while Manager Pat Murphy expects him to compete by relying on location rather than velocity, saying, "We know his stuff is not 96-97 mph the way it was."
- "I'm sick and tired of watching," Woodruff said of his injured-list absence, emphasizing his focus on "one pitch at a time" rather than external distractions during his return.
- Woodruff's return aims to stabilize the Milwaukee rotation beyond stalwarts Jacob Misiorowski and Kyle Harrison, providing veteran depth as the team navigates the season.
