Brandon Woodruff Being Seen by Dr. Keith Meister
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) traveled to Dallas for a hands-on assessment with Dr. Keith Meister on Tuesday, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. Woodruff couldn't top 85 mph with his fastball in his last outing before being placed on the 15-day injured list with right-shoulder inflammation last week. The 33-year-old veteran said he was pain-free before being pulled last week, and the Brewers seemed to believe he was going through a dead-arm phase. However, it's worth noting that Woodruff had surgery on his right shoulder, which caused him to miss the entire 2024 campaign. A visit to Dr. Meister is an ominous sign and could result in another shoulder surgery, which would be a devastating blow for the rest of Woodruff's career. In his six starts for the Brew Crew before landing on the IL, Woodruff had a 3.60 ERA and 1.03 WHIP with 25 strikeouts and seven walks in 30 innings. Until we know more about Woodruff's status, fantasy managers should continue to hold him.
