What happened: The Milwaukee Brewers made Brandon Woodruff’s injured-list move official because of an inflamed right shoulder labrum. He will undergo further evaluation to determine the next steps.

Why it matters: The injury removes a key starter from Milwaukee’s rotation during the regular season. The Brewers and Arizona Diamondbacks enter Sunday’s scheduled game with the series tied 1-1.

By the numbers: Milwaukee is 54-33, averaging 5.1 runs while allowing 3.7 per game. Woodruff previously missed six weeks with the same injury this season.

What to watch: Woodruff will be examined in the coming days, including by orthopedic surgeon Keith Meister. Milwaukee’s rotation plan and Woodruff’s recovery timeline bear watching.
