What happened: Brandon Woodruff is set to speak with reporters about his shoulder injury after Brewers manager Pat Murphy said the outlook "isn't good." Woodruff has been on the 15-day injured list with an inflamed labrum since July 5. MLB Network's MLB Tonight covered the development.

Why it matters: Woodruff has anchored Milwaukee's rotation this season, and any setback beyond a standard IL stint would hit the Brewers' pitching depth during the NL Central race. Murphy's blunt characterization of the outlook raises the stakes of Woodruff's own comments.

What to watch: Woodruff is expected to update his situation directly, with Murphy indicating the update could come Sunday.
