The Milwaukee Brewers have re-signed right-hander Jake Woodford to a minor league contract. This move comes after Woodford, previously with the St. Louis Cardinals and Arizona Diamondbacks, was designated for assignment and went unclaimed on waivers. Woodford has struggled this season, posting a 6.94 ERA and allowing 18 earned runs over 23.1 innings. Despite his recent performance, the Brewers may view him as a durable depth option for low-leverage situations if he returns to the majors.
