Woodruff's Injury Opens Rotation Spot

It's May 1st.

I'm Corey with The Story, and this is Milwaukee Brewer's News Today, AI-powered updates on

your squad.

Brewer's Ace Brandon Woodruff, a nine-year big league veteran, owns a 3.60 ERA through

six starts and 30 innings this season.

But he got yanked early, from Thursday's outing, and it looks like he'll skip his next

turn.

Manager Pat Murphy confirmed the team is handing him some time off to check things out.

No firm timeline yet, but Woodruff heads for imaging soon after that abrupt exit.

The Brewers are prepping just in case, since he's been a key arm keeping their staff humming.

This opens a spot in the rotation, sparking talks among fans in front office folks about

filling the gap without missing a beat.

Milwaukee's God Depth to draw from, avoiding a scramble, top call-up could be Logan Henderson,

who's lit it up with a 1.02 ERA in the minors, and already debuted up top.

Shane draw hands another easy move.

He's pitched solid lately, including four strong innings, Thursday.

Quinn Priester's rehabbing from injury, and free agent Nester Cortez lurks as a wildcard

reunion option.

We'll watch those scans close and see how the Brewers slot someone in to keep the momentum

rolling strong.
