Brewers weigh Brandon Woodruff's possible World Series return after injury

Brandon Woodruff has made progress in his recovery from shoulder surgery, throwing live batting practice on October 21, 2026. The Milwaukee Brewers are reconsidering their World Series roster options as Woodruff could potentially contribute as a reliever. His last competitive outing was on July 4, but recent sessions suggest he may be ready to help the team. The Brewers' decision must be made before the roster submission for Game 1 against the Tampa Bay Rays. A healthy Woodruff could bolster the pitching staff aiming for the franchise's first World Series title.
