Brewers provide update on Woodruff's injury status ahead of playoffs
Summary

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff has not played since July 4 due to right shoulder inflammation. He was initially placed on the 15-day injured list and then moved to the 60-day list. As the Brewers lead the National League with a 93-57 record, Woodruff is currently throwing from 105 feet. The team plans to evaluate him at the end of September to assess his readiness for the playoffs, which begin on October 3 if they secure a first-round bye. Despite their strong season, the Brewers' pitching rotation faces uncertainty without Woodruff's presence in the lineup.
