From MLB.com’s Adam McCalvy on X: Brandon Woodruff said he’ll have more imaging of his shoulder on Friday before conferring with the doctors about whether to try throwing off a mound.
The Brewers have been without Woodruff for most of the season.
The right-hander was out for May and most of June with right shoulder inflammation.

Then, two weeks after being reinstated in late June, Woodruff was placed on the IL again due to his shoulder issue. He last appeared in a game on July 4.
He has posted a 2.98 ERA with 47 strikeouts in 45 1/3 innings across nine outings this year.
