Milwaukee Brewers ace Brandon Woodruff’s remarkable recovery from shoulder injuries has put him on the verge of a postseason return, raising questions about whether he’ll suit up for the World Series. After two major shoulder surgeries in just over three years threatened to end his career, Woodruff defied expectations by avoiding surgery entirely and completing a grueling five-week throwing program.
His progress has been flawless, culminating in a high-intensity 31-pitch bullpen session that reportedly showed his stuff still intact. With the Brewers advancing to the World Series and roster spots opening up—including unused opportunities for relievers Kyle Harrison and Chad Patrick—Woodruff’s return now hinges on whether manager Pat Murphy trusts his arm after such a rapid comeback.
The veteran pitcher himself has hinted at his determination, telling reporters he’d be difficult to keep off the roster if cleared, adding another layer of intrigue to Milwaukee’s postseason plans.
