Brandon Woodruff returned to the mound for the Milwaukee Brewers after a long absence, making his first start since 2023 against the Miami Marlins. The right-handed pitcher showcased his skills by throwing six innings, allowing only two hits, and striking out eight batters, ultimately securing his first win of the season. Woodruff's performance was impressive, particularly considering he had faced multiple setbacks during his recovery from a shoulder injury.

After months on the sidelines, Woodruff's fastball reached speeds of up to 96 mph in his 2025 debut. His effective pitching not only contributed to the Brewers' series win over Miami but also kept the team four games behind the Chicago Cubs in the standings. The Brewers are set to face the struggling Los Angeles Dodgers next, who are on a three-game losing streak.
