Game 1 of the World Series is scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m. CDT on Friday at American Family Field in Milwaukee.

One of the biggest questions for the Brewers heading into the World Series is the status of veteran right-hander Brandon Woodruff, who last appeared in a game on July 4.

Regarding Woodruff, Brewers president of baseball operations Matt Arnold said, “Still working through our meetings,” to MLB.com’s Adam McCalvy.

Woodruff threw a 23-pitch live batting practice session to Milwaukee’s “A” lineup at American Family Field on Tuesday, per McCalvy. Woodruff’s fastball sat 90-92 mph.
