Brewers' Brandon Woodruff Calls Opening Day 'Up in the Air' After First Live Session

The veteran is pacing his ramp-up to protect late-season availability.

Overview

  • Woodruff threw 25 pitches in a live session, reported feeling good afterward, and acknowledged he is a bit behind others in camp.
  • He declined to commit to Opening Day, saying his priority is staying healthy and being available at the end of the season.
  • Manager Pat Murphy plans for Woodruff to log another live session before appearing in spring games.
  • With Freddy Peralta traded, the Brewers are weighing internal options for early starts, with rookie Jacob Misiorowski among candidates if needed.
  • Murphy said non-roster right-hander Gerson Garabito had foot surgery and will miss about four months, thinning depth at the margins.
