""He wasn't himself. He felt like, felt kind of dead. He said he didn't feel any pain, just nothing was coming out. We've seen a little bit of this, but never at this level, where he can't get the ball over 85 mph.""
""A 7 mph drop in velocity would be worrisome for any pitcher. The concern is heightened since this relates to Woodruff, given his recent history.""
Brandon Woodruff was removed from a game in the second inning due to a significant drop in velocity, averaging around 85 mph compared to 93 mph in previous outings. Manager Pat Murphy noted Woodruff felt 'kind of dead' but reported no pain. This drop is concerning given Woodruff's history of shoulder issues and a lat strain that limited his previous seasons. Despite these concerns, the Brewers offered him a $22.025MM qualifying offer, which he accepted for the 2026 season after exploring other opportunities.
