Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff left his July 4 start against the Arizona Diamondbacks early due to an apparent injury. Woodruff's fastball velocity was noticeably down during the fourth inning, topping out at 87.3 mph. After struggling to maintain speed, he was removed when athletic trainer Brad Epstein examined him on the mound. This was Woodruff's third start since returning from the injured list following a right shoulder impingement that led to prior 'dead arm' symptoms earlier this season. Updates on his condition are anticipated.
