Brandon Woodruff Hopes for World Series Return After Shoulder Injury

Brandon Woodruff is a pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers.

He has not pitched since July 4 because of a shoulder injury.

He was not put on the team’s roster for its first playoff series.

Woodruff says he will not be ready for the next possible playoff round.

But he hopes he might be able to pitch if the Brewers reach the World Series.

He learned that he would not need the shoulder operation he had expected.

He says his recent throwing practice has gone well.

His teammates and manager say he helps the team even when he cannot pitch.

The Brewers would need to keep winning for Woodruff to have that chance.
