Brandon Woodruff, Brewers' longest-tenured player, makes World Series roster after long injury absence

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff has been added to the team's World Series roster following an extended injury absence. Woodruff, the franchise's longest-tenured player after debuting with Milwaukee in 2017, has not pitched in a game for three and a half months due to a shoulder issue that kept him sidelined since July 4.

To make room on the roster, Woodruff took the place of Chad Patrick on the 13-man pitching staff. The Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays submitted their final rosters for the World Series matchup as Woodruff prepares for his return to active competition.
