It’s merely a procedural move as Mitchell will miss the rest of the season after undergoing left shoulder surgery earlier this week. The 26-year-old center fielder is expected to be ready for the outset of spring training. His promising career has been derailed by several shoulder injuries over the last few years.

The goal is for him to be ready to go next spring, but it doesn’t sound like that’s assured. Because of the shoulder and other injuries, Mitchell has played in just 141 major league games since debuting four years ago, though he’s racked up 3.6 bWAR when he’s been on the field.

A second opinion on Friday confirmed that surgery would be required to repair the issue. The Brewers are optimistic that he’ll still be able to return at some point before the 2025 season comes to a close, but a clear timeline won’t be known until after he undergoes the procedure.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy told reporters Mitchell, who is headed for a second opinion on the initial diagnosis, will likely miss at least 8-10 weeks following the procedure. The 26-year-old outfielder dislodged some of the anchors from his previous left shoulder surgery back in 2023 while playing in a minor league rehab game on Friday for Triple-A Nashville.

Mitchell was in the final stages of his rehabilitation process from an oblique strain. Murphy added that the 26-year-old outfielder will be pulled off his rehab assignment to undergo additional imaging after initial results were inconclusive. There’s a significant level of concern here since he underwent left shoulder surgery back in 2023. There should be an update on his status at some point in the coming days.

Mitchell could return this weekend or early next week after missing nearly two months with an oblique strain. Isaac Collins, who has been playing pretty regularly in the Milwaukee outfield lately, will lose at-bats.

Mitchell and fellow rehabbing outfielder Blake Perkins (shin) have both been cleared to begin their rehab assignments. Mitchell has been sidelined since April 25 due to a strained oblique. Brewers’ skipper Pat Murphy told reporters earlier in the week that he anticipates both of them returning to the roster at some point in early July barring any setbacks.

The report when Mitchell went down on Apr. 25 was that his oblique strain was rather mild, but as the weeks have gone by without updates of any sort, it had become apparent that he wasn’t progressing as hoped. It’s unfortunate the Brewers are being so tightlipped here. As of a couple of days ago, MLB.com still had Mitchell’s return pegged as “late May/early June.” Perkins was originally expected back from his fracture weeks ago, but updates there have been scarce, too.

Mitchell is still striking out over 30 percent of the time this season, and has yet to leave the yard through 25 games, hitting just .208 with three steals during that span. The 26-year-old center fielder heads to the shelf after making an early exit from Friday’s series opener against the Cardinals with left oblique tightness. No word yet on how much time he’s going to miss, but fantasy managers should expect a multi-week absence, even if it’s a low-grade strain.

It’s unclear when exactly he sustained the injury or the severity of it. Given how tricky oblique injuries usually are though, it wouldn’t be surprising at all to see Mitchell ultimately land on the injured list for at least a couple of weeks. Stay tuned, as the Brewers should have an update on his status after the game.

Mitchell used his wheels to manufacture a run in the second inning, as he worked Landen Roupp for a leadoff walk, stole second base, advanced to third on a ground ball and scampered home on a wild pitch. He also singled with two outs in the eighth inning and swiped second base but was left stranded there. On the season, the 26-year-old outfielder is hitting a disappointing .209/.289/.299 with zero homers, three RBI and three stolen bases.
