Milwaukee Brewers receive positive injury update on pitcher Brandon Woodruff

The Milwaukee Brewers have received a positive injury update regarding veteran pitcher Brandon Woodruff. After being placed on the injured list in July with a right shoulder injury, Woodruff is scheduled to begin the third week of a five-week throwing program on September 9. Manager Pat Murphy noted there is a “low possibility” of a return in 2026, though the pitcher is currently attempting to build back up.

On the field, the Brewers continue their strong season, recently securing a 4-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs. This win extends Milwaukee's lead in the NL Central to eight games. The team is currently competing for top seeding in the National League while facing the Cubs in a pivotal series.

Upcoming pitching matchups include Logan Henderson for the Brewers, who has maintained a 2.48 ERA, against Kevin Gausman for the Cubs.
