Brandon Woodruff, a veteran starter for the Brewers, faced another setback in his attempt to return to major league action due to a right elbow contusion sustained during a rehab start. The injury, which occurred from a comebacker, isn’t structurally damaging but is expected to keep him sidelined for a few weeks. This is frustrating as Woodruff was close to joining the active roster following a long recovery from shoulder surgery. The Brewers will likely need to adjust their rotation as they continue to integrate young talent in his absence.
Brandon Woodruff's injury during a rehab start has delayed his return to the MLB rotation, sidelining him for a few weeks after a right elbow contusion.
