Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Brandon Woodruff is placed back on the injured list due to inflammation in his throwing shoulder, and the team plans additional right-shoulder surgery. Multiple reports say the issue is in his shoulder capsule, with Yahoo Sports reporting that an MRI reveals a new injury to the anterior capsule. Woodruff previously underwent anterior capsule surgery after the 2023 season and spent about 20 months rehabbing before returning to the majors.
Woodruff has been on the IL since July 5 for right shoulder inflammation, according to Yahoo Sports, and his condition does not improve. One report says a drop in velocity during a start against the Arizona Diamondbacks led to his early exit, after which the Brewers made corresponding roster moves, including recalling left-hander Drew Rom from Triple-A Nashville. The Brewers also place him on a 60-day IL in at least one report while awaiting injury updates.
While details differ by outlet, the overall picture is consistent: Woodruff’s shoulder inflammation worsens or fails to resolve, prompting renewed injured-list placement and a likely season-ending surgical plan.
