Woodruff (shoulder) threw roughly 30 pitches during a bullpen session Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Woodruff was cleared to begin throwing bullpen sessions over the weekend, and although he was a little sore after his first round of mound work, he said he was feeling good after Tuesday's session. The Brewers will likely aim for the veteran righty to face hitters within the next couple of days, which would keep the door open for him to pitch out of the bullpen if the Brewers advance to the World Series.

Henderson didn't factor in the decision in Game 2 of the NLCS against the Dodgers on Monday, allowing four runs (two earned) on three hits with two strikeouts and two walks over four innings.

It's the first time in Henderson's MLB career that he surrendered more than three runs in a start, and he only has himself to blame since both unearned runs were the result of his own throwing errors. It was also his first start of fewer than five frames since his season debut April 4 in Kansas City. Through his first two postseason starts, the right-hander has given up six runs (three runs) with a 6:5 K:BB across nine innings. Henderson now lines up to start a possible Game 6 in Milwaukee, which will only transpire if the Dodgers will need to win two of the next three games in the series.

Yamamoto didn't factor into the decision Monday in Milwaukee after giving up three runs on four hits with one strikeout and two walks across 2.2 innings during Game 2 of the NLCS.

The Japanese right-hander entered the contest with a 1.50 ERA and 0.75 WHIP in his past 10 postseason starts -- including a complete game with one run allowed in Game 2 of the NLCS in Milwaukee last year -- but the Brewers made things difficult Monday, fouling off 19 balls as he needed 75 pitches (46 strikes) to record just 11 outs. It's the shortest playoff outing of Yamamoto's career and came on the heels of a dominant performance in the NLDS, when he struck out 10 and allowed just one run over seven innings in Atlanta. The Dodgers will need to win at least two of the next three games in Los Angeles for him to get another start.

Gasser will start Game 3 of the NLCS versus the Dodgers on Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Gasser will move in front of Dustin May in the Brewers' rotation order after logging four frames of one-run ball in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Padres. The left-hander posted a 2.86 ERA and 60:21 K:BB over 63 innings covering 11 starts and one relief appearance in the second half of the regular season. Gasser is likely to be opposed by Blake Snell, though the Dodgers have yet to officially name a starting pitcher for Game 3.

Atlanta general manager Alex Anthopoulos said Sunday that Strider (elbow) will be a rotation option in 2027, but the organization doesn't plan to count on him to be able to fill that role across the full-season schedule, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander struggled in his return from internal brace surgery during 2025 with a 4.45 ERA in 23 regular-season starts, and he made just eight appearances this year due to oblique and elbow issues. Strider landed on the IL in mid-June due to elbow inflammation and missed the rest of the season, but he resumed throwing in August and should enter spring training in decent shape health-wise. However, his injuries and limited availability the past three years have resulted in Atlanta tempering its expectations for him in 2027.

The Dodgers added Wrobleski to their roster for the NLCS against the Brewers, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

The southpaw was left off the roster for the NLDS, but Los Angeles will shore up its pitching staff for the best-of-seven championship series. Wrobleski was a key rotation piece for much of the regular season before coming out of the bullpen for his final six appearances. He posted a 3.66 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 118:31 K:BB across 140 innings.

Misiorowski will start Game 1 of the NLCS against the Dodgers on Sunday.

Misiorowski took the mound to begin the opening contest of the NLDS against San Diego, and the Brewers will turn to their ace again to begin their best-of-seven series against Los Angeles. The 24-year-old is a strong contender to take home the NL Cy Young Award after posting a 1.80 ERA and 0.80 WHIP across 174.2 innings in the regular season, but he wasn't quite as dominant during his first postseason outing, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk while fanning six batters in four innings.

Skubal will start Game 1 of the NLCS against the Brewers on Sunday, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

Skubal was brilliant during his start in Game 1 of the NLDS against Atlanta, giving up just one earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over six innings. He'll aim to maintain his success as he takes the mound to open the series against the Brewers, whom he gave up six runs (five earned) to over 12 innings in the regular season.

Buehler didn't factor in the decision in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Brewers on Wednesday. He gave up a run on three hits with two walks and no strikeouts over three innings.

The veteran right-hander fought his control at times, throwing just 25 of his 47 pitches for strikes, but he kept San Diego in the game with just one run allowed. Buehler joined the Padres on a minor-year contract in February but made the Opening Day roster and spent all year in the rotation. He struggled to a 5.36 ERA during the first half of the campaign but posted a 3.62 ERA after the All-Star break, finishing the regular season with an overall 4.63 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 131:57 K:BB across 153.2 innings. Buehler will return to the open market this winter, and it remains to be seen if he's done enough to secure a rotation spot somewhere for 2027.

Gasser didn't factor into the decision in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Padres on Wednesday, giving up a run on three hits with three strikeouts and a walk over four innings.

The left-hander threw 40 of 56 pitches for strikes as he held San Diego in check, with the only damage against him being a solo homer from Fernando Tatis. It was Gasser's first playoff start after making two relief appearances during the postseason last year. This performance should be more than enough to solidify his place in Milwaukee's rotation for the NLCS, with him likely lining up to start Game 4 in Los Angeles.
