2 years agoMilwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (ankle) left his start against the St. Louis Cardinals early on Friday due to an ankle injury. Woodruff left the game before throwing a pitch in the fifth inning, calling out the team trainers to the mound. Despite the injury, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is reporting on Saturday morning that Woodruff may make his next start, to the relief of fantasy managers and Brewers fans. Notwithstanding, fantasy managers should monitor the situation in the event that the Brewers take a cautious approach with Woodruff and place him on the 10-day injured list and have him skip his next couple of starts. Before leaving the game which the Brewers lost 4-2, Woodruff allowed two earned runs on two hits and one walk while striking out four over four innings. On the season, Woodruff owns a disappointing 4.74 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 53 strikeouts over 43 2/3 IP in nine starts.--Nick Ritrivi - RotoBaller
