News
	Brandon Woodruff will undergo shoulder surgery "with the goal in mind of pitching again." Diego Sandoval Sat, Jul 18th	Kumar Rocker allowed seven earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out six over 5 2/3 innings in Saturday's loss to the Astros. Chris Schommer Sun, Jul 12th
	Brandon Woodruff is expected to address the media for an update on his shoulder injury on Sunday. Ari Koslow Fri, Jul 17th	Kumar Rocker took the loss Sunday against the Tigers after allowing three runs on five hits and one walk over 4.1 innings. He struck out four. Most of the damage came on a two-run homer by Riley Greene in the fourth inning, and Rocker exited in the fifth after allowing a single. Bruno Mulé Mon, Jul 6th
	Brewers GM Matt Arnold says the team is "still working through" Brandon Woodruff's shoulder injury. Ari Koslow Wed, Jul 15th	Rangers right-hander Kumar Rocker will start Sunday's series finale against the Tigers. Brenton Kemp Sat, Jul 4th
	The Brewers transferred RHP Brandon Woodruff to the 60-day injured list. Ari Koslow Sun, Jul 12th	Kumar Rocker did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Blue Jays after allowing four hits and one walk over six scoreless innings. He struck out five while recording his fourth quality start of the season. Bruno Mulé Mon, Jun 29th
	Brandon Woodruff underwent an MRI that revealed a new injury to the anterior capsule in his right shoulder. He is seeking a second opinion before he and the Brewers determine the next course of action. Nicholas Rodriguez Thu, Jul 9th	Kumar Rocker allowed two runs on five hits over five innings Monday against the Marlins while recording a career-high nine strikeouts. Working behind opener Tyler Alexander, Rocker needed just 76 pitches to complete five frames and generated 20 swinging strikes with a 46 percent CSW. He also benefited from a key defensive play in the sixth inning when Ezequiel Duran cut down Xavier Edwards at the plate to end the frame. Bruno Mulé Tue, Jun 23rd
