In a shocking development, the Milwaukee Brewers have placed veteran right-hander Brandon Woodruff on the 15-day IL with a right lat strain. The injury reportedly popped up during Woodruff's bullpen session on Saturday afternoon, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Curt Hogg. For Woody, who missed the 2023 postseason in similarly devastating fashion, it's a tragic development. It's too early to place this injury in that same category, as Woodruff still has a decent chance of returning before the postseason, assuming the lat strain is of the less severe category. For now, the Brewers and their fans alike need only focus on the task ahead: winning a third-straight division title and clinching a first-round bye.
