Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Brandon Woodruff is set to undergo season-ending shoulder surgery.
When speaking to reporters, he made it clear that he is not planning on retiring.
βIβm getting this (surgery) with the intention of rehabbing and taking care of that and being able to pitch again,β he stated.
