"Brandon Woodruff, returning from surgery, performed well in his first game back, scoring 24 fantasy points and completing six innings with a solid performance."
"Woodruff's average fastball velocity was lower than usual, but he still achieved a high whiff rate and got plenty of strikeouts with his pitches."
"As Woodruff regains strength and increases his pitch count, he is poised to offer substantial value as a top-25 fantasy starting pitcher."
"Historical data shows Woodruff had a remarkable peak from 2019-2023, making him a strong candidate for fantasy leagues if he remains available."
Brandon Woodruff made a successful return after surgery, achieving 24 fantasy points in a six-inning outing. His average fastball velocity was the lowest in seven years, yet he still managed an impressive 33.3% whiff rate with his four-seam fastball and generated a significant number of strikeouts. Woodruff's pitch effectiveness could translate into top-25 fantasy value as his strength improves. His historical performance indicates he has been a top-tier fantasy pitcher, making him a worthwhile addition in many leagues where he is still available.
