Brewers' only World Series roster decision rests on the right shoulder of one franchise legend

The Brewers won the National League pennant while using the same 26-player roster through both the NLDS and NLCS, but face one key decision before the World Series: whether to add injured pitcher Brandon Woodruff to the roster. The 33-year-old Woodruff has been recovering from shoulder surgery and last pitched on July 4, but has been throwing bullpen sessions during the postseason and recently expressed confidence about making the World Series roster. With two unused relievers on the current roster and a full week before the World Series begins, the team must decide if Woodruff is healthy enough to pitch in relief despite not facing batters in nearly four months.
