Brewers dealt tough injury blow to starting rotation

The Milwaukee Brewers have received devastating news regarding one of the most respected pitchers in recent franchise history. According to MLB insider Bob Nightengale, veteran right-hander Brandon Woodruff has announced that he will undergo shoulder surgery for the second time in three years, officially ending his 2027 season.

While Woodruff expressed hope that he would pitch again, the projected recovery timeline means he is not expected to return to a major league mound until 2028 at the earliest. For both the Brewers and Woodruff, it's another heartbreaking chapter in what has become an injury-plagued career.
