MILWAUKEE (AP) —e Milwaukee Brewers‘ playoff roster Rob Refsnyder Jersey , but he’s starting Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Colorado Rockies.The Brewers’ playoff roster announced before the series opener on Thursday features an 11-man pitching staff that includes rookie right-handers Corbin Burnes and Freddy Peralta. Like Woodruff, they are promising starters who have been pitching out of the bullpen.Woodruff leads off what manager Craig Counsell called a bullpen day on Thursday against the Rockies, who are starting right-hander Antonio Senzatela (6-6, 4.38 ERA).Woodruff is 3-0 with a 3.61 ERA in 19 games this year with four starts. The 25-year-old has pitched exclusively in relief after Sept. 1, going 1-0 with a 0.73 ERA over 12 1/3 innings in seven appearances.“He’s just throwing the ball really well, and two, I think he has the potential to do a little more than a reliever, maybe,” Counsell said.One of Woodruff’s four starts came at Colorado http://www.raysfanproshop.com/authentic-evan-longoria-jersey , when he allowed seven runs on nine hits in three innings on May 11. The Brewers still won 11-10.Jhoulys Chacin (15-8, 3.50), the Brewers’ best starter this year, is scheduled to take the hill in Game 2 on Friday, when he will be opposed by Colorado’s Tyler Anderson (7-9, 4.55).The left-handed Anderson was formally added to the roster after being left off for the wild-card game, with Colorado also adding German Marquez. Manager Bud Black said Marquez may pitch either in Game 3 on Sunday or Game 4 on Monday, if necessary.Left off again for the NLDS was right-hander Jon Gray (12-9, 5.12) a strikeout pitcher who struggled this season. Gray was the losing pitcher in the 2017 NL wild-card game http://www.raysfanproshop.com/authentic-evan-longoria-jersey , allowing four runs and seven hits in a 1 1/3 innings against Arizona.Left-handers Wade Miley and Gio Gonzalez are the other starters on the Brewers’ roster. Miley (5-2, 2.57) has pitched well in the second half, while Gonzalez is 3-0 with a 2.13 ERA in five starts after being acquired from the Washington Nationals.Outfielder Keon Broxton is on the NLDS roster to give Counsell a pinch runner and late-inning defensive replacement off a bench that includes right-handed slugger Domingo Santana and left-handed veteran Curtis Granderson.Among those left off the roster were left-handed power hitter Eric Thames, who came off the bench in September. He initially split playing time with Jesus Aguilar at first base before getting hurt in April. Aguilar went on to have a breakout season, making the All-Star team and hitting 35 homers.Right-handed starter Zach Davies was also left off the roster. He was 2-7 with a 4.77 ERA but pitched better in September after returning from injury.Right-handed starter Chase Anderson, who gave up an NL-high 30 homers, didn’t make the roster.For the Rockies, third catcher Drew Butera and infielder Pat Valaika were dropped from the wild-card game roster, along with lefthander Jake McGee. Right-hander Chad Bettis (5-2 Christian Arroyo Jersey , 5.01) joins the roster for the division series. TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Mike Trout says he is only concentrating on one thing regarding his future — the upcoming season.The Los Angeles Angels star said he is happy for Bryce Harper, who has agreed to a $330 million, 13-year contract with the Philadelphia Phillies , but that he hasn’t considered how Harper’s deal will set the stage for his own negotiations.Trout can become a free agent after the 2020 season. He is owed $33.25 million in each of the next two seasons, completing a $144.5 million, six-year contract.“I haven’t even thought about it,” Trout told reporters before a spring training game Friday against the Kansas City Royals. “Obviously, you guys bring it up a lot and I appreciate you asking me all these questions Nathan Eovaldi Jersey , but right now is not the time to think about it. I still have a couple more years.”Angels owner Arte Moreno reiterated last month at the start of spring training that re-signing Trout is at the top of the franchise’s list.“One of the last interviews I gave, I said it’s not in the back of our mind but in the front of our minds,” Moreno said. “I think it also depends a little bit upon the agent and the player. It’s not like it’s just us.”Trout is a two-time American League MVP who has finished in the top two in voting six of the past seven years. He led the majors last season in on-base percentage (.460) while hitting .312 with 39 home runs and 79 RBIs.Trout, who said he called Harper to congratulate him on the contract, mentioned that he also followed the recent deals involving Nolan Arenado and Manny Machado. Arenado agreed to an eight-year, $260 million deal with the Colorado Rockies while the San Diego Padres signed Machado to a $300 million, 10-year deal earlier in spring training.“It took longer than people expected,” Trout said. “You look at the health of the player. The first couple weeks you are not used to that baseball conditioning. But now they are going to be ready for opening day.”
