Brewers manager Pat Murphy announced before Monday night’s game at Cleveland that Woodruff is dealing with tendinitis in his right ankle. The issue had bothered the two-time All-Star right-hander during a rehabilitation appearance Sunday with Triple-A Nashville, causing the Brewers to delay Woodruff’s long-awaited return from a shoulder injury.

Brandon Woodruff, who last pitched in the majors Sept. 23, 2023, was within days of his return before an ankle injury put him on the injured list.

Brandon Woodruff’s highly-anticipated return to the Brewers’ big-league rotation was put on hold Monday when the right-hander’s 30-day rehab assignment came to an end, but he remained on the 15-day injured list with a new concern: Right ankle tendinitis.
