Brandon Woodruff has gone on the IL with an oblique injury and will likely be out at least a month. For the Milwaukee Brewers, that’s terrible news. Woodruff had developed into their best starter this season, and now they’ll be without him at a crucial point in the season. That makes the need for more starting pitching all the more apparent now.
If you were in the camp that believed the Brewers didn’t need to pay up for a starting pitcher at the July 31 Trade Deadline this year, now is the time to switch camps.
