Minot Bismarck Dickinson, ND, October 23, 2026 —
Pitcher Brandon Woodruff has been named to the Milwaukee Brewers’ World Series roster after an absence from pitching that has lasted more than three months. His inclusion comes as he returns from a shoulder injury, according to the information provided.
The roster selection marks Woodruff’s return to the Brewers’ group for the World Series. However, the available details do not specify whether he is expected to pitch, what role he might have, or how the team plans to use him. Being named to the roster does not, on its own, establish those details.
The information provided does not identify when Woodruff last pitched, when he sustained the shoulder injury, or what treatment or recovery process he underwent. It also does not include a statement from Woodruff, the Brewers, or team officials explaining the decision to include him.
Other details about the roster announcement were not provided, including the date, the Brewers’ World Series opponent, and whether any corresponding roster changes were made. No information was given about Woodruff’s current condition beyond his return from the injury and the fact that he had not pitched in more than three months.
As a result, the significance of his selection for the team’s pitching plans remains unclear from the available information. The confirmed details are that Woodruff is a pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers, has been named to the club’s World Series roster, is returning from a shoulder injury, and had not pitched in over three months.
