Brewers' Mitchell Faces Possible Second Shoulder Surgery

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell reinjured his left shoulder during a rehab assignment as he was nearing a return from an oblique injury, prompting a recommendation for surgery from team physician Dr. William Raasch. Mitchell is seeking a second opinion from Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who previously operated on the same shoulder, and the recommended procedure would sideline him for 8-10 weeks. If performed, it would be Mitchell's second operation on the same shoulder in three seasons. The 2020 first-round pick has struggled with multiple injuries, limiting him to 141 games since his 2022 MLB debut but has shown promise when healthy. Meanwhile, Brewers outfielder Blake Perkins and pitcher Brandon Woodruff are both making progress toward returns through rehab assignments. The team's outfield depth continues to be tested by ongoing injuries.
