Brewers Designate Rob Scahill, Select Brandon Woodruff

By Jeff Todd | June 13, 2017 at 12:58pm CDT

12:58pm: Unfortunately, Woodruff’s debut will need to wait. He has been scratched with hamstring tightness, the club announced.

8:52am: The Brewers have designated righty Rob Scahill for assignment, per a club announcement. His roster spot will go to prospect Brandon Woodruff, who’ll make his first MLB start today.

Scahill, 30, has generated quality results this year, continuing a trend in that regard. Since the start of 2015, he owns a 3.14 ERA over 83 innings. But a peek beneath the surface shows cause for concern. Through his 17 2/3 frames this year, Scahill has recorded just five strikeouts to go with nine walks.

The 24-year-old Woodruff earned top-100 billing from Baseball America before the start of the season. He has moved rather swiftly through the Milwaukee system since being taken in the 11th round of the 2014 draft out of Mississippi State.

Woodruff opened the current season at Triple-A, his first attempt at the highest level of the minors. Through 63 1/3 innings in a dozen starts, he owns a 4.12 ERA with 8.5 K/9 and 2.7 BB/9.

For the Brewers, who are surprisingly pacing the NL Central, the move represents another interesting pitching promotion. The club already bumped up top young lefty Josh Hader, who’s working out of the pen. With a realistic path to contention available, the Brewers will see if these young arms can provide a near-term boost while also getting a glimpse at the organization’s anticipated future staff.

      Agree. They are next to be DFA’d when they decide to bring up Wang.

      Peralta throws bullets in the bullpen. Too talented to give up on this quickly.

        What Peralta have you been watching? He has not been the same pitcher since 2014, but he sure had been throwing bullets only 2 L and 10 ER in his last 6 innings of work.

        Peralta is one dimensional. His fastball is good when he locates it and his only other pitch is a slider which he has struggles throwing. He’s done in Milwaukee

      Keeping Neftali especially makes zero sense. He has been beyond horrific, but amazingly sports merely a .217 BAbip – so as bad as he has been, this is him getting lucky (FIP has him at 6.80, nearly a run higher than his current 5.88 ERA)

    Jeff…I love your stuff, but I believe that you want to “peek” behind Scahill’s numbers. 🙂

    Well that’s rather unfortunate for a kid getting his first taste of the big leagues….

    So did he actually get called up and is now earning service time or is he on the IR in the minors?

      He’s on the major league active roster. Woodruff would have to be placed on the big-league DL and the Brewers would have to recall or sign someone else if he can’t pitch in the next couple of days, I presume.
