Woodruff will head back to the majors this weekend to make Saturday's start against Washington.
Woodruff is set to return to the rotation after being optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Aug. 20. During his three starts with Milwaukee this year, Woodruff has given up just three earned runs off 15 hits and eight walks in 16.2 innings. Since the club didn't need a fifth starter until this upcoming weekend, the right-hander stayed fresh with Colorado Springs, tossing two shutout innings Thursday against New Orleans and completed a simulated game Monday. Moving forward, it seems as though Woodruff will be deployed as Milwaukee's No. 5 starter for the rest of the season.
