Rotowire
Henriquez (foot) was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
Skipper Dave Roberts stated at the beginning of the month that Henriquez wouldn't be ready for the start of the regular season due to a metatarsal injury in his left foot, and the club announced Monday that he'll open the year on the injured list. The Dodgers have yet to disclose a timetable for the right-hander's return.

Dodgers' Edgardo Henriquez: Out for Opening Day
Rotowire
Manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Henriquez won't be ready for the start of the season due to a metatarsal injury in his left foot, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Henriquez was seen in the Dodgers' clubhouse Tuesday with a walking boot on. Roberts didn't offer any additional information regarding the severity of Henriquez's injury, though it's apparently serious enough to warrant ruling him out for Opening Day already. The 22-year-old right-hander allowed one earned run in 3.1 regular-season innings with the Dodgers last year, and he had been a candidate to begin 2025 in Los Angeles' bullpen amid all the injuries to the team's pitching staff.

Dodgers' Edgardo Henriquez: Picks up first big-league save
Rotowire
Henriquez walked one and struck out two over a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Rockies.
Henriquez was able to protect a one-run lead in the ninth inning, earning his first big-league save in just his third appearance in the majors. He has allowed one run and two hits with a 5:2 K:BB over 3.1 innings since his call-up from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday. The flame-throwing prospect raced through five levels in 2024, and it's not clear yet if the Dodgers plan to keep him in the bullpen for their postseason run.
Dodgers' Edgardo Henriquez: Promoted from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Dodgers called up Henriquez from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Henriquez started the season in Single-A ball and has now reached his fifth level within the organization in 2024, propelled by a fastball that's touched as high as 104 mph. The 22-year-old posted a 4.26 ERA and 1.97 WHIP in 12.2 innings across 14 games with Triple-A Oklahoma City, posting an 18:10 K:BB in the process. Henriquez was not on the 40-man roster ahead of the three game set against the Padres, so a corresponding move is imminent.
The Dodgers will promote Henriquez from Double-A Tulsa to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Henriquez will make the leap to Triple-A after compiling a 3.06 ERA and 1.08 WHIP with 24 strikeouts over 17.2 innings in 16 appearances out of the bullpen with Tulsa. The right-hander is now just one step away from making his major-league debut.

Dodgers' Edgardo Henriquez: Recovering from Tommy John surgery
Rotowire
Henriquez is on the mend from Tommy John surgery and won't pitch again until the 2024 season, Baseball America reports.
The 21-year-old righty had a 4.54 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 44 strikeouts in 35.2 innings at Single-A Rancho Cucamonga in 2022. Henriquez had the surgery last fall, so he could be ready to participate in minor-league spring training early next year.
