Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, July 8, 2026 —
Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff has been diagnosed with a new injury to his right shoulder’s anterior capsule. This is the same area that had previously undergone surgical repair.
The diagnosis follows an MRI that revealed the issue. The problem was identified after Woodruff experienced a notable drop in his pitching velocity during his most recent start against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Brewers organization has stated that they plan to seek a second opinion from a specialist regarding Woodruff’s condition. Further details on the extent of the injury and the proposed treatment plan were not immediately available.
Woodruff has a documented history of shoulder-related issues. He missed the entirety of the 2024 season due to previous injury concerns. He had returned to play midway through the prior season before a lat muscle strain ultimately sidelined him again.
The team has not provided a timeline for Woodruff’s potential return or further updates on his condition beyond the plan to consult with a specialist.
