Brewers Outfielder Garrett Mitchell Seeks Second Opinion After Getting Surgery Recommendation
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell is seeking a second opinion on his injured left shoulder after getting a recommendation to undergo surgery. Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Tuesday that head team physician William Raasch had recommended surgery for Mitchell, who hurt the shoulder while on a rehabilitation assignment. Mitchell is seeking a second opinion in Los Angeles from Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who had performed surgery on the same shoulder two years ago. Murphy said surgery likely would cause Mitchell to miss about another eight to ten weeks. Mitchell has been on the injured list since April 26 due to an oblique issue. The possibility of another surgery represents the latest injury-related setback for the 2020 first-round pick from UCLA. Mitchell has played a total of 141 games since reaching the majors in 2022. 'That kid's been through a lot – four years of trying to make a whole season,' Murphy said. 'My heart goes out to him and his family. It's really, really tough.' Mitchell was preparing for his return from the oblique injury when he hurt his shoulder while playing for Triple-A Nashville last week. He was hitting .206 with a .286 on-base percentage, no homers, and three RBIs in 25 games for Milwaukee this season before going on the injured list. According to Murphy, Raasch indicated some anchors from Mitchell's 2023 shoulder surgery had been dislodged. Mitchell missed most of the 2023 season with a torn labrum. Mitchell has been productive when he's available. The 26-year-old has batted .254 with a .333 on-base percentage, .433 slugging percentage, 13 homers, 40 RBIs, and 23 steals in his 141 career regular-season games. In other Brewers injury news, Murphy said center fielder Blake Perkins is expected to begin his rehabilitation assignment with Nashville this week and right-hander Brandon Woodruff is expected to pitch for Nashville over the weekend. Perkins hasn't played this season since fracturing his right shin while taking batting practice in spring training. Woodruff, a two-time All-Star, hasn't pitched in the majors since undergoing shoulder surgery after the 2023 season.

Colts' Anthony Richardson (shoulder) expects to be ready for training camp
June 24 - After starting just 15 games over his first two NFL seasons, Anthony Richardson dismissed concerns about his latest health issue. Sidelined during minicamp, the oft-injured quarterback spoke on Monday about his shoulder injury with Zach Goodall of 24/7 Sports. "I'm all good," Richardson said. "... Not really even a bump in the road. I feel like I tripped, I fell. Just got back up and hit the ground running again." Amid reports that Colts newcomer Daniel Jones has already surpassed Richardson on the depth chart, a re-injury to his throwing shoulder will not help the 23-year-old's case in one of the NFL's most prominent quarterback competitions entering the 2025 season. On June 5, Indianapolis announced that Richardson wouldn't take part in minicamp as a result of soreness in a surgically repaired right shoulder that previously sidelined the young QB for nearly a full season. Richardson reportedly sought a second opinion on his shoulder with renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who specializes in sports medicine. According to Colts head coach Shane Steichen, the surgeon's assessment suggested the No. 4 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft didn't need to undergo an additional surgery. Meanwhile, Daniel Jones signed with Indianapolis this offseason after joining the Minnesota Vikings midway through the 2024 season. After a disastrous 2-8 start to the campaign, Jones was cut by the New York Giants following 5 1/2 seasons with the franchise. With 24 career wins, 44 losses and a tie, Jones never lived up to franchise-quarterback expectations as the sixth overall pick in the 2019 draft. The 28-year-old has completed 64.1 percent of his passes, with 70 touchdowns through the air and 47 interceptions. He has also chipped in 2,179 yards on the ground with 15 TDs and 50 fumbles in 70 games (69 starts). Despite his struggles, Jones is already a favorite to start in Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins, according to NFL Media's Judy Battista. "Among the issues that have led the Indianapolis Colts to stage a quarterback competition between Richardson and former Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is Richardson's inability to stay on the field," Battista said in a June 16 report. "...The current setback clearly gives Jones a significant edge in a competition he had a good chance of winning anyway." In 15 starts, Richardson has completed 176 of 348 pass attempts (50.6 percemt) for 2,391 yards with 11 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. The mobile QB has added 635 rushing yards and 10 scores on the ground with 12 fumbles. --Field Level Media

NFL quarterback's 2025 season in doubt as new concerns emerge over recurring injury
After suffering a season-ending injury in 2023, one young starting quarterback in the AFC South could be starting his season on the bench once again. Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson is not at the team's mandatory minicamp due to an injury to his throwing shoulder. It's the same shoulder that Richardson hurt in his rookie NFL campaign that ended his season in Week 5. Considering this is a re-injury, Sports Illustrated 's Albert Breer says the Colts are taking extra precautions with Richardson as the third-year gunslinger out of Florida weighs his options. 'It was the second day of OTAs that they shut him down, he's gonna go visit with Dr. Neal ElAttrache, I believe that's gonna happen this week, to go and get it checked out,' Breer told The Rich Eisen Show, adding that ElAttrache 'was the one who did the surgery initially.' 'When you're talking about the soreness coming back in the shoulder and "no he hasn't had surgery yet, but he's gonna have more opinions on it," it just gets you worried. 'I would say I take both of them very seriously, because anything to do with a quarterback's throwing shoulder, elbow, wrist, whatever is serious. 'But when it's like a repeat thing, that's where it's like "oh boy".' With Richardson likely to be starting on the bench, Breer says there is a 'really good chance Daniel Jones is gonna be the starting quarterback for the Colts Week 1 and Anthony Richardson faces a lot of uncertainty going forward.' It's a very concerning development for the longevity of his career - especially considering his first two seasons didn't end particularly well. After suffering that career-ending injury in his rookie season, his 2024 campaign featured stops and starts. Richardson began as the starter in the first few weeks before an oblique injury sidelined him in Weeks 5 and 6. Then, in Week 8, he capped off a poor performance against the Houston Texans by voluntarily taking himself out in the third quarter for a play because he 'needed a breather'. As a result, Richardson was benched for two weeks in favor of Joe Flacco. After Flacco struggled, Richardson returned for the rest of the season.
