Woodruff Set for Sunday Return Against Marlins

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff is scheduled to return to Major League Baseball this Sunday against the Miami Marlins, marking his first appearance since undergoing shoulder surgery in 2023. Woodruff's comeback follows nearly two years of setbacks, including an ankle injury and being hit by a line drive during rehab. His final rehab start showed promising velocity, and Brewers manager Pat Murphy expressed enthusiasm for his return. As a two-time All-Star with a career 3.10 ERA, Woodruff is expected to be gradually reintroduced to the rotation. His return is anticipated to further strengthen an already successful Brewers pitching staff. Woodruff emphasized the emotional significance of his comeback and expressed excitement to pitch in the majors again.
