The Milwaukee Brewers sent Brandon Woodruff back to Triple-A for a simple reason. They needed a roster spot and Woodruff has options remaining. It was the easy solution for a team that isn’t looking to expose any arms or useful bench bats to waivers.
How Was Woodruff Performing Before Getting Sent Down?
Good enough to stay in the rotation? He wasn’t setting the universe on fire, but he was gobbling up innings and turning in solid results. In three starts, Woodruff owns a 1-1 record with a 1.62 ERA. Command has been an issue as he has eight walks in 16 2/3 innings of work with only 12 strikeouts.
