The lat issue caused Woodruff to go on the injured list Sept. 21. The NL Central champion Brewers face the Chicago Cubs in the best-of-5 NLDS that starts Saturday in Milwaukee. Murphy was asked whether there was ny possibility Woodruff could be ready to pitch in the NL Championship Series. The day before going on the injured list, Woodruff said he felt something off in his triceps during a bullpen session. Woodruff is relieved he came back this season and his 2023 shoulder injury didn't end his Brewers tenure.
