The Milwaukee Brewers activated right-hander Brandon Woodruff from the injured list Monday and optioned left-hander Drew Rom in advance of a Monday’s series opener at Cincinnati.
Woodruff, 33, made six starts this season before going on the IL with right shoulder inflammation. He is 2-1 with a 3.60 ERA over 30 innings and scheduled to start against the Reds on Monday.
Woodruff missed all of 2024 after undergoing shoulder surgery and made just 12 starts in his return last year. The nine-year veteran is 7-4 with a 3.48 ERA in 15 career appearances (13 starts) against the Reds.
A two-time All-Star, Woodruff is 55-29 with a 3.12 ERA over 148 appearances (133 starts) since 2017 for the Brewers.
Rom, 26, has a 3.38 ERA in four relief appearances for the Brewers in his return to the major leagues. Rom was last in the big leagues in 2023 when he went 1-4 with an 8.02 ERA in eight appearances (all starts) for the St. Louis Cardinals.
