Brandon Woodruff revealed two pieces of information regarding his shoulder surgery (Milwaukee Brewers News).
During a phone call interview with Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Brandon Woodruff went into more detail regarding his injury as well as intra-operative findings. Here is what he had to say about the nature of his injury, the severity, and how surgery went.
“If you have a subscap injury like I had the first time, the subscab and the capsule go hand-in-hand. Basically, if you hurt one, you hurt the other…Essentially what I did the first time when I rehabbed the first part of the year, was naturally let my shoulder heal. And it healed up fine. Everything was great. I made 10 starts and my velocity was back. Everything was good. But basically it got to a point where it just kind of gave out on me.”
“(Dr. Keith Meister) came in and told me everything went pretty much perfect. He got in there and the tear wasn’t as big as initially he thought on the MRI so that was great…It was just two stitches (internally)…The way that Dr. Meister put it was, if you had tight pants and you bend over and you rip your pants right on the seam, that’s exactly what it looks like.”
