"Brewers' Brandon Woodruff Sets Sights on 2025 Return"

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff has announced that he will not be pitching this season as he continues to recover from shoulder surgery, with a target return set for 2025. Despite missing significant time last year due to a shoulder injury, Woodruff signed a backloaded two-year, $17.5 million contract with the Brewers in February, including a mutual option for the 2026 season. His absence this season means the team will be without both Woodruff and Corbin Burnes, who was traded to the Baltimore Orioles, as they begin their campaign with Freddy Peralta as the starting pitcher for their season opener against the New York Mets.

Brewers Address Hitting Woes by Signing Darin Ruf.

The Milwaukee Brewers have signed Darin Ruf to a one-year contract and placed Luke Voit on the 10-day injured list with a strained neck to make room for him on the active roster. Right-hander Brandon Woodruff was transferred to the 60-day injured list to open a spot on the 40-man roster, while righty Colin Rea was optioned and Trevor Megill was recalled. Ruf will effectively replace Voit as the club's right-handed hitting first baseman/designated hitter. Woodruff's transfer to the 60-day IL was an inevitable formality as he was diagnosed with a Grade 2 subscapular strain in his right shoulder in April and isn't expected back until late June.
