Henderson didn't factor into the decision in Game 2 of the World Series versus the Rays on Saturday, allowing four runs (three earned) on three hits with four strikeouts and one walk across three innings.

It was a disastrous first inning for the right-hander, who surrendered four runs on an error and three hits to the first five batters he faced, including a two-run homer by Liam Hicks. Henderson settled down and retired eight of the final nine batters he faced, but manager Pat Murphy still didn't hesitate to go to the bullpen after just three innings. After posting a 2.47 ERA in 18 regular-season starts, the playoffs have been a bit turbulent for Henderson, who has a 4.50 ERA and a 10:6 K:BB while lasting just 12 frames in three starts.

Misiorowski earned the win in Game 1 of the World Series against the Rays on Friday, giving up one run on four hits with three strikeouts and one walk over five innings.

The flamethrowing righty continues to labor in the playoffs, as he generated just seven whiffs Friday while setting a season low in strikeouts. Still, Misiorowski scattered three singles, a double and a walk to hold the Rays to a single run while delivering his longest start of the postseason. The 24-year-old hasn't provided much length in October with 13.1 innings through three playoff starts, but he's been effective enough with a 2.70 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB. He next lines up to start a potential Game 5 in Tampa Bay for the Brewers.

Woodruff (shoulder) is on the Brewers' World Series roster.

Woodruff has not pitched in a game since July 4 because of right shoulder inflammation. However, he looked and felt well enough during a simulated game at American Family Field this week that the team has elected to carry him on its World Series roster. The Brewers might not be able to replace Woodruff on the roster if he has a setback -- the rules state it has to be an acute, non-chronic injury to warrant a move -- so the decision carries risk. Woodruff is taking Chad Patrick's spot on the roster and will be used in a bullpen role.

Hernandez (oblique) said Thursday that he feels 100 percent healthy and has since the first or second week of September, Aiden Stepansky of MLB.com reports.

Hernandez suffered a left oblique strain at High-A Greensboro in late July and was eventually shut down for the season. However, he will not be under any restrictions when it comes to his offseason throwing program. Hernandez cemented himself as one of the game's top pitching prospects in 2026, posting a 2.43 ERA and 118:31 K:BB over 74 innings between Greensboro and Single-A Bradenton. The 20-year-old also noted Thursday that his goal is to reach the majors in 2027, though that looks like a long shot.

The Brewers are unlikely to add Woodruff (shoulder) to their roster for the World Series, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Woodruff is scheduled to face hitters Tuesday for the first time since going down with right shoulder inflammation more than three months ago. However, while Woodruff is pushing hard to be included on the roster, there are a couple reasons why the proposition is unlikely. One is that the Brewers might not be allowed to replace Woodruff on the roster if he has a setback, as the rules say it has to be an acute, non-chronic injury. Another is that he simply could be rusty following such a long layoff. In the unlikely even Woodruff is included on the roster, he would work in a relief role.

Woodruff (shoulder) said Thursday that "it's gonna be hard to keep me off that [World Series] roster," Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Woodruff has not pitched in more than three months due to right shoulder inflammation, but he's been throwing off a mound for the past week and hopes to gain clearance to face hitters soon. If the Brewers do decide to carry Woodruff on their World Series roster, it would be in a relief role.

Glasnow didn't factor in the decision in Game 4 of the NLCS against the Brewers on Thursday, giving up four runs on three hits with six strikeouts and two walks over 4.1 innings.

The right-hander opened the contest in dominant fashion by retiring the first 10 batters he faced with six punchouts, but Milwaukee's bats came alive across the next two frames to quickly flip the script. After issuing five walks during his NLDS start in Atlanta, Glasnow again struggled with free passes Thursday, as the rally in both of those frames began with a walk. The 33-year-old surrendered five runs with an 11:7 K:BB across nine frames in his two playoff appearances. Glasnow was limited to 13 starts during the regular season due to a back issue, though he was effective when available with a 3.53 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 98:25 K:BB over 74 innings.

The Brewers are expected to start Drohan on Thursday in Game 4 of the NLCS, Tom Verducci of SI.com reports.

Though he made 19 starts for the Brewers during the regular season, Drohan has not pitched in more than two weeks and is not stretched out to handle a regular starter's workload. Thus, it could be more of an opener assignment than a traditional start for the left-hander. Dustin May is a candidate to cover some innings out of the bullpen as the Brewers look to finish off the series sweep.

Gasser didn't factor into the decision in Game 3 of the NLCS against the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing just three hits and one walk with three strikeouts over five scoreless innings.

The rookie left-hander certainly wasn't dominant, but he kept Los Angeles off the board by scattering three singles, a walk and a hit-by-pitch. Gasser didn't have a long leash and was pulled at 72 pitches (47 strikes), but that's not a major surprise in just his second postseason start. He's now surrendered only one run with a 6:2 K:BB across nine frames in those two outings, cementing his spot as the Brewers' No. 3 starter as they sit one win away from the World Series.

Snell was charged with the loss in Game 3 of the NLCS against the Brewers on Wednesday, giving up four runs on four hits with nine strikeouts and two walks across six-plus innings.

Jackson Chourio went deep on the first pitch of the game, but Snell then locked in with five scoreless frames and headed into the seventh having retired 14 consecutive batters. Having just been handed a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the sixth, the left-hander then issued a leadoff walk to Andrew Vaughn before Jake Bauers finished an 11-pitch at-bat with a two-run homer, which was then followed by a Garrett Mitchell solo shot. Snell was dominant for much of the contest, but the homers that bookended his performance were a hole the Dodgers' struggling offense couldn't escape. He's lined up to start a possible Game 7 next week, but Los Angeles is on the brink of elimination while staring down a 3-0 series deficit.
