Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff is making a push to return for the World Series after recovering from a shoulder injury that initially appeared season-ending. He threw a 31-pitch bullpen session last week and was scheduled to face hitters soon. However, activating him poses a significant risk for the team, as any subsequent injury could prevent them from replacing him on the postseason roster. The Brewers have been cautious, weighing his limited availability and health before making a final decision on his inclusion in the World Series roster.
