The Milwaukee Brewers officially announced the move fans have been 683 days for. Brandon Woodruff is back. The two-time All-Star has had a roller coaster of a year. Woodruff hasn't pitched in a big league game since Sept.

Brandon Woodruff took the mound for the Milwaukee Brewers in Miami as they took on the Marlins. Now, for the first time in nearly two years, he is taking the mound for the Brewers again, almost poetically on the same mound on which he made his last Major League start.

Saturday’s 4-2 Brewers loss to the Marlins means that the series will be on the line when the teams meet again Sunday afternoon at loanDepot park. All the better for Brandon Woodruff's long-awaited return from right shoulder surgery.
