Brewers’ Starting Pitcher Headed to Injured List, Status for Playoffs Uncertain
Brandon Woodruff, with a 3.20 ERA and 83 strikeouts in 12 starts, ends his regular season early due to a moderate right lat strain, creating postseason pitching uncertainty for the Brewers.
- On Sunday, the Milwaukee Brewers announced that right-handed pitcher Brandon Woodruff was sidelined with a right lat strain and added to the 15-day injured list following discomfort he experienced during a bullpen session the previous day.
- Woodruff's injury comes after he made his return to the mound this year following shoulder surgery in October 2023, which sidelined him for the entire 2024 season and postponed his comeback until July of this year.
- The Brewers recalled left-hander Robert Gasser from Triple-A to start the series finale against St. Louis as Woodruff received medical evaluation in St. Louis and awaited consultation with Dr. Keith Meister.
- Woodruff explained that his injury is simply a result of returning to intense competition and dismissed any other concerns. Meanwhile, manager Pat Murphy described the injury as a moderate lat strain and recognized the difficult setback for both Woodruff and the team.
- Woodruff's retroactive IL placement to September 18 makes him eligible for the NLDS starting October 4, but his playoff availability remains uncertain, complicating Milwaukee’s postseason rotation plans.
