Milwaukee pitcher Brandon Woodruff won’t return to the majors quite as early as expected. Brewers manager Pat Murphy announced before Monday night's game at Cleveland that Woodruff is dealing with tendinitis in his right ankle.

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.
