Brandon Woodruff will undergo shoulder surgery "with the goal in mind of pitching again."

EDGE Analysis

Woodruff will have a capsule surgery on his shoulder, the same procedure he had in 2023. An exact timeline for return is not available yet. The right-hander has been on the injured list since July 5th and has struggled to stay on the field in recent years, throwing just 177 total innings since the beginning of the 2023 season.

Brandon Woodruff is expected to address the media for an update on his shoulder injury on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

"The outlook isn't good," Brewers manager Pat Murphy said. "I'm going to let Woody get specific with you and let him be the one to announce what he wants to announce."

Brewers GM Matt Arnold says the team is "still working through" Brandon Woodruff's shoulder injury.

EDGE Analysis

Woodruff was transferred to the 60-day injured list last weekend. There should be further updates on his status later in July.

The Brewers transferred Woodruff (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander was diagnosed with an injury to his right anterior shoulder capsule after landing on the IL last weekend, and it's not a major surprise the injury will keep him sidelined for at least two months. Woodruff is without an official timeline for his return after a recent meeting with Dr. Keith Meister for a second opinion on his shoulder, but the Brewers could have a clearer idea on his prognosis following the All-Star break, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. He's been effective when available this season with a 2.98 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 47:10 K:BB across 45.1 innings, but the recurrent shoulder issues remain a major hurdle that Woodruff has struggled to fully overcome.

Imaging revealed an injury to Woodruff's right anterior shoulder capsule Wednesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Woodruff landed on the injured list Sunday with right shoulder inflammation -- an issue that has already caused the veteran righty to miss more than a month of action this year. However, his latest diagnosis is being described as a new injury, so there's currently no telling how long he may be on the shelf for. He's set to receive a second opinion from Dr. Keith Meister -- the surgeon who performed Woodruff's 2023 shoulder surgery -- that will aid in determining his return timeline.

The Brewers placed Woodruff on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to right shoulder inflammation, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Pat Murphy said after Woodruff departed Saturday's start against the Diamondbacks that the right-hander is dealing with an inflamed labrum, so his move to the IL isn't a surprise. The 33-year-old dealt with a similar injury earlier this season that led to a "dead arm" feeling and sidelined him for six weeks, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, with the return of a cyst being a possible cause for why Woodruff is experiencing that sensation once again. It's unclear how long Woodruff is expected to be out this time around, but he's likely to be shelved for well beyond the 15-day minimum. Woodruff has been effective this season with a 2.98 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 47:10 K:BB across 45.1 innings, but the shoulder problems continue to limit his availability.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy told reporters that Woodruff was diagnosed with an inflamed labrum in his right shoulder that he suffered during Saturday's start against the Diamondbacks and will be placed on the injured list, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

It will be the second time that Woodruff will go on the IL this season due to a labrum injury, with his first stint lasting six weeks from early May to mid-June. If his recovery timeline is the same this time around, then Woodruff would not be back with the Brewers until at least early August, though his injury history could result in a longer stint on the shelf. It's yet another injury setback for the right-hander, who missed the entire 2024 season while recovering from a capsule repair surgery on his right shoulder in October of 2023, which also limited Woodruff to just 12 regular-season starts in 2025. He ended up taking the loss in Saturday's start against Arizona, when he allowed three runs on two hits and one walk while striking out six across 3.2 innings.

Woodruff (undisclosed) was removed in the fourth inning of Saturday's start against the Diamondbacks, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Woodruff's velocity was noticeably down during Saturday's start, with his fastball topping out at 87 mph and his changeup at 73 mph in the fourth inning, per Sophia Minnaert of Brewers.tv. Woodruff left the mound with a trainer, and he'll finish his night having allowed three runs on two hits and one walk while striking out six across 3.2 innings. The Brewers should have an update on Woodruff once he undergoes further tests.

Woodruff did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Cubs, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out six over 5.2 scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

Woodruff was in complete control throughout the outing, with Miguel Amaya's third-inning double standing as the only hit he allowed. Woodruff has looked outstanding since returning from shoulder inflammation, tossing 11.2 scoreless innings while allowing just two hits with a 16:2 K:BB across his two starts. The veteran has not issued more than two walks in any outing across the entire season. He is set to face Arizona on the road in his next start.

Woodruff allowed one hit and struck out 10 batters over six scoreless innings in a no-decision against Cincinnati on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Woodruff made his first big-league appearance since April 30 after spending time on the shelf due to a shoulder injury. The veteran right-hander showed absolutely no signs of rust, as he retired the first 16 batters he faced and allowed just one baserunner overall (on a Tyler Stephenson sixth-inning single). Woodruff racked up a season-high 10 punchouts, and the only thing holding him back from an even more impressive performance was a restricted workload that limited him to 79 pitches over six innings. Woodruff said after the game that he felt "pretty much the same" physically throughout the start, per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, so he appears to have emerged without any setbacks. Woodruff should be able to build up his pitch count as he racks up more starts, and he is next lined up to take the mound at home versus the Cubs.
