Brewers Pitcher Brandon Woodruff Removed From Rehab Due To Elbow Contusion

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff was removed from his rehab assignment due to a right elbow contusion sustained when he was struck by a 108-mph line drive during a Triple-A Nashville game. While X-rays were negative and no structural damage was found, the Brewers have paused his rehab to allow for recovery, with further CT scans planned. Woodruff, a two-time All-Star, has been recovering from a 2023 shoulder surgery and had faced additional setbacks including ankle tendinitis. His rehab performance showed strong results, but the recent elbow injury further delays his return to the major leagues. It remains uncertain when Woodruff will make his season debut for the Brewers, as this marks another hurdle in his extended recovery process. Manager Pat Murphy confirmed the injury and the ongoing evaluations following the incident.
