"Brewers' Brandon Woodruff Sets Sights on 2025 Return"
Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff has announced that he will not be pitching this season as he continues to recover from shoulder surgery, with a target return set for 2025. Despite missing significant time last year due to a shoulder injury, Woodruff signed a backloaded two-year, $17.5 million contract with the Brewers in February, including a mutual option for the 2026 season. His absence this season means the team will be without both Woodruff and Corbin Burnes, who was traded to the Baltimore Orioles, as they begin their campaign with Freddy Peralta as the starting pitcher for their season opener against the New York Mets.
