Will rejoin team Monday The Brewers announced that Woodruff (shoulder) will return to the pitching rotation for Monday's series opener against Cincinnati, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Woodruff will finally make his return to the big-league club for the first time since May 1. The 33-year-old most recently completed a rehab start Tuesday where he allowed three runs over 5.1 innings while striking out six batters. Before going on the injured list, the right-hander posted a 3.60 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 25:7 K:BB in 30 innings.

Throws 82 pitches in rehab start Woodruff (shoulder) allowed three runs over 5.1 innings while notching six strikeouts in a rehab start with High-A Wisconsin on Tuesday.

Impact There's no word on what Woodruff's velocity was in the outing, but he got his pitch count up to 82. That leaves him sufficiently stretched out if the Brewers believe he's ready for his next start to be in the majors. Woodruff has yet to make a start this season on four days' rest, so the earlier he would rejoin the big-league rotation is likely Monday in Cincinnati. He's been shelved since late April with right shoulder inflammation.

Another minor-league start on tap Woodruff (shoulder) is expected to make another minor-league rehab start Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Impact The Brewers haven't announced which affiliate Woodruff will join for his second rehab start, but he'll be looking to build on the 68-pitch workload he handled with Milwaukee's rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate last Tuesday. He turned in so-so results in that appearance, striking out five batters over 3.2 innings but yielding three runs on five hits and two walks. So long as his shoulder checks out fine during his upcoming minor-league outing and his velocity and command are satisfactory, Woodruff could then return from the 15-day injured list as soon as Sunday in Atlanta. Woodruff has been on the shelf since May 1 due to right shoulder inflammation.

Throws 68 pitches in rehab start Woodruff (shoulder) allowed three runs on five hits and two walks over 3.2 innings in his first rehab start with the Brewers' Arizona Complex League affiliate Tuesday.

Impact The bottom-line results aren't what you want, but Woodruff did strike out five and got his pitch count up to 68. Per Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com, Woodruff averaged a shade under 91 mph between his four-seamer and sinker, which is down from his season average of 92.2 mph but up significantly from the mid-80s he was throwing in his final start before going on the injured list in late April. Woodruff is working on a lower arm slot, and he might need a couple more rehab outings to get comfortable before he rejoins the Milwaukee rotation.

Starting rehab stint Woodruff (shoulder) was assigned to the rookie-level ACL Brewers to begin rehab assignment Tuesday.

Impact The right-hander has been throwing to live hitters the past couple weeks and recently lowered his arm slot, and he's now set to test that new slot in game action. Woodruff has been sidelined by shoulder inflammation since he showed significantly reduced velocity during his April 30 start versus Arizona, so he's likely to require a few rehab starts before rejoining the Brewers.
