Shifts to 60-day IL
The Brewers transferred Woodruff (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.
Analysis
The veteran right-hander was diagnosed with an injury to his right anterior shoulder capsule after landing on the IL last weekend, and it's not a major surprise the injury will keep him sidelined for at least two months. Woodruff is without an official timeline for his return after a recent meeting with Dr. Keith Meister for a second opinion on his shoulder, but the Brewers could have a clearer idea on his prognosis following the All-Star break, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. He's been effective when available this season with a 2.98 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 47:10 K:BB across 45.1 innings, but the recurrent shoulder issues remain a major hurdle that Woodruff has struggled to fully overcome.

Seeking second opinion
Medical imaging revealed an injury to Woodruff's right anterior shoulder capsule Wednesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis
Woodruff landed on the injured list Sunday with right shoulder inflammation -- an issue that has already caused the veteran righty to miss more than a month of action this year. However, his latest diagnosis is being described as a new injury, so there's no telling how long he may be on the shelf for. He's set to receive a second opinion from Dr. Keith Meister -- the surgeon who performed Woodruff's 2023 shoulder surgery -- that will aid in determining his return timeline.
