Woodruff's Injury: Brewers' Rotation Takes a Hit

0:00On May 2nd, Milwaukee Brewers All-Star Starter Brandon Woodruff is headed to the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation. He got pulled early from Thursday's start against the Arizona Diamondbacks after just one and one third innings. The team made it official Friday and called up right-hander Easton McGee to fill the spot. Woodruff's fastball velocity dropped big time from an average of 92.5 miles per hour earlier this season down to 85.4 in that outing. Nothing felt often warm-ups, but once the game started, the ball just wasn't popping out of his hand like usual. Woodruff sounded chill about it, saying he feels good overall, and the imaging showed no structural issues from his past surgery. Brewers fans can breed easier knowing it's just inflammation and not something worse that could sideline him long term. The good news keeps coming with word that this should be a short stint.
