Brewers ace Brandon Woodruff underwent surgery on his right shoulder Friday, the club announced. He is expected to miss most, if not all, of the 2024 season.
Woodruff missed four months this season with a shoulder injury that was eventually revealed to be a subscapular strain. He returned in August and finished the year with a 2.28 ERA and 3.60 FIP in 11 starts.
The right-hander was supposed to be a key piece in a Brewers playoff run, but he re-injured the shoulder after his final regular-season start. The club announced that Woodruff’s availability was uncertain for the postseason, and he was inactive in the Wild Card Series as the Arizona Diamondbacks swept the Brewers.
