Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff has been placed on the injured list due to a right shoulder setback, further complicating his injury history. Woodruff departed his last start after just 61 pitches and has recently undergone a procedure for a cyst in the same shoulder. His absence opens up a rotation spot for Logan Henderson, who is expected to return from a back injury soon. Other pitchers, including Carlos Rodon and Shohei Ohtani, are also dealing with injuries that may impact their availability moving forward, affecting fantasy baseball strategies.
