Woodruff's Struggle: Brewers' Rotation in Limbo

On May 1st, Brewers fans, bad news on Brandon Woodruff.

He took the mound Thursday, but got yanked after just one in one third innings.

His fastball sat at a week 85.4 mph, dropping from his normal 92.5.

That's not the ace we know.

Manager Pat Murphy says they're parking Woodruff for some rest right now.

He'll head for tests and scans, but no guarantee on the injured list yet.

Dude says he fell fine out there.

No pain flagged.

Teams got solid back up plans though.

Top prospect Logan Henderson's primed.

He's got a 1.02 ERA over 17 and 2.3 innings in AAA this year.

Plus one.

Big League start already.

Quinn Priesters also close, wrapping rehab in Nashville.

Woodruff's the grizzled vet this squad leans on, especially with their eyes on the playoffs.

Losing his edge hurts the rotations vibe and leadership.

Woodruff's cross, it's a short hiccup.

We'll hear more once those results roll in, keep the brew crew rolling strong.

I'm Corey with the story.
