Brandon Woodruff injury update: When will Brewers SP return to rotation this season?

The hits just keep on coming to pitchers across the Major Leagues, as the Milwaukee Brewers announced just hours before their game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night that ace Brandon Woodruff had been placed on the 15-day injured list with shoulder inflammation.

Woodruff has established himself as one of the best pitchers in the National League over the last few seasons, with a 2.84 ERA and an 11 K/9 over 406.1 innings from 2020-2022. He's a two-time All Star with a top-five NL Cy Young Award finish on his resume, and the one-two punch he formed with Corbin Burnes is the foundation to the Brewers' formula for success.

Milwaukee will need Woodruff back in the fold to make a run at the NL Central crown, so when can we expect him back?
