Woodruff Avoids Surgery, Could Return This Season | MLB News

Brandon Woodruff’s shoulder injury might not require surgery after all — a major twist for the Brewers’ ace, who’s battled arm woes since last year. New scans show improvement, and his doctor says he can skip the procedure this time, opening a slim door for him to pitch again this season. He’ll start throwing catch Wednesday — a huge step from his earlier plan to undergo surgery. Manager Pat Murphy admits Woodruff hasn’t even picked up a ball yet, but the team’s laser-focused on his recovery and any chance to get him back before the season ends. Meanwhile, Sal Frelick is expected to return Tuesday against the Mets after missing time with a shoulder strain.
