The 29-year-old righty joins Freddy Peralta on the injured list, but said he hopes to make it back after a short absence.

Manager Craig Counsel told reporters the diagnosis is similar to the ankle injury Willy Adames suffered. Adames went on the 10-day IL in mid-May and began a rehab assignment on Monday.

Right-handed reliever Peter Strzelecki was selected from Triple-A Nashville to take Woodruff's place on the active roster.

After posting a 2.56 ERA in 30 starts last season, Woodruff has a 4.74 ERA in 9 starts this year.
