Milwaukee Brewers right‑hander Brandon Woodruff is set to undergo surgery on his right shoulder, a procedure aimed at repairing the capsule that has sidelined him for much of the past two seasons.
Manager’s Perspective
Brewers manager Pat Murphy described the injury as “extremely painful” and acknowledged that the club, currently 60‑37 and leading the National League Central, will feel the loss of Woodruff’s services.
The setback follows a pattern of injuries that have prevented Woodruff from completing a full 12‑start stretch in a season since 2022, a span marked by recurring shoulder and elbow issues.
Looking Forward
In 2024, before the injury, Woodruff posted a 2.98 earned‑run average with 47 strikeouts across nine appearances, going 2‑2 on the mound, and he remains optimistic about a timely recovery.
The Brewers’ front office, including general manager Adam McCalvy and reporter Sophia Minnaert, are monitoring his rehabilitation closely, preparing to reintegrate him into the rotation when medical clearance is achieved.
