Overview
- Manager Pat Murphy said Wednesday that Brandon Woodruff had fluid drained from his right shoulder and is slated to resume throwing Saturday.
- The club expects him to need only a few bullpen sessions before rejoining the rotation if he stays symptom-free.
- Christian Yelich has returned to on-field batting practice and is scheduled for live at-bats and baserunning early next week.
- The team still targets a mid-to-late May return for Yelich, who hopes to avoid a Minor League rehab assignment.
- Both timelines would aid a Brewers team at 18-16 that has navigated a run of injuries to key contributors.
