"I'm not ready to answer that question yet. I've been trying to get ready. Each day is better and better for me. I don't know what tomorrow looks like, but these past 2-3 weeks have been good for me and we'll see what happens. It's too early to make a call on anything."
"If the Brewers defeat the Dodgers in the NLCS, Game 1 of the World Series falls on October 24, giving Woodruff just 12 days to get ramped up enough to pitch even in a relief capacity."
"Woodruff last pitched on September 17, when he threw a strong start (five IP, one earned run on two hits and no walks with nine strikeouts) in the Brewers' 9-2 win over the Angels."
Brandon Woodruff suffered a lat strain in September that prevented him from joining the Brewers' NLDS roster and has stopped him from starting throwing work. He has not begun playing catch and therefore will not be ready for the start of the NLCS. A rapid recovery would be required to earn consideration for a World Series roster spot, with Game 1 on October 24 providing about 12 days to ramp up if the Brewers advance. Woodruff last pitched on September 17 and posted strong season metrics in a comeback year following shoulder surgery and an ankle issue.
