Brewers’ Woodruff Heads to Season-Ending Shoulder Surgery
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Brandon Woodruff will miss the rest of the season after undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery, cutting short a nine-start 2026 campaign during which he posted a 2.98 ERA with a high strikeout rate. At 33 and set to be a free agent at year’s end, Woodruff’s absence complicates Milwaukee’s rotation and could influence their plans at the trade deadline as the club navigates a cluster of pitching injuries and debates over adding starting depth.
