Woodruff (shoulder) confirmed that he will return from the 15-day injured list Monday to start the Brewers' series opener in Cincinnati, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Manager Pat Murphy had already indicated that Woodruff would rejoin the rotation for that series, and the right-hander is now locked in to start the first contest of the three-game set. Woodruff will be making his first big-league appearance since April 30, when he was lifted from a start after developing shoulder inflammation. Over the course of two rehab starts between the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and High-A Wisconsin, Woodruff was able to get stretched out to 5.1 innings and 82 pitches, so he should be capable of handling something close to a standard workload Monday.
