Brewers' Logan Henderson: Confirmed to start Thursday
Rotowire
Henderson (back) will be activated from the 15-day injured list and start Thursday's game in St. Louis, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The Brewers previously had confirmed that Henderson's next start would come in the majors, and now he's been announced as the starter for Thursday's series finale versus the Cardinals. Henderson has been shelved since late May with a back strain but has been cleared to return after allowing two earned runs with an 11:2 K:BB over 6.2 innings in two rehab outings. The righty threw 68 pitches in his last rehab start, so he will not be ready for a full workload Thursday.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Next outing to be in majors
Rotowire
Henderson (back) will be activated from the IL to make his next start for the Brewers, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Henderson last pitched for Milwaukee on May 22 and subsequently landed on the IL due to a back strain. He's since made two minor-league rehab starts, tossing a combined 6.2 innings, during which he's allowed two runs while posting an 11:2 K:BB. Henderson is now slated to return to the Brewers' rotation, and his return start is likely to come next week during Milwaukee's series against St. Louis.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Next rehab start set
Rotowire
Henderson (back) will make his next minor-league rehab start Friday, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.
It'll be the second outing of Henderson's rehab assignment after he struck out seven while throwing 50 pitches over three scoreless frames with Triple-A Nashville on Sunday. Manager Pat Murphy said Monday that the right-hander is expected to come off the injured list prior to the All-Star break, which lines up Friday's outing to be his final rehab start before rejoining Milwaukee's rotation.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Expected back before All-Star break
Rotowire
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Monday that he expects Henderson (back) to return from the 15-day injured list before the All-Star break, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Henderson fanned seven over three scoreless innings Sunday in his first rehab start with Triple-A Nashville. He threw 50 pitches in that outing and appears set to make just one more rehab start before rejoining the Milwaukee rotation next week. Out since late May with a lower-back strain, Henderson boasts a 2.74 ERA and 1.04 WHIP with 30 strikeouts over 23 innings during his time with Milwaukee this season.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Racks up seven Ks in rehab start
Rotowire
Henderson (back) struck out seven and allowed one hit and one walk over three scoreless innings Sunday in a rehab start with Triple-A Nashville.
Making his first appearance in a game setting since May 22, Henderson was about as sharp as the Brewers could have hoped. He compiled 10 whiffs on his 50 pitches (32 strikes), working into the fourth inning while averaging 92.9 mph with his four-seam fastball. Henderson will likely need to get stretched out to the 65-to-75-pitch range before coming off the 15-day injured list, so he'll presumably make at least one more start in the minors. The right-hander looks like he could have a shot at returning to the Milwaukee rotation during the final week before the All-Star break.
Henderson (back) was sent to Triple-A Nashville to begin a minor-league rehab assignment Sunday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Henderson will return to the mound in a contest for the first time since suffering a lower-back strain in late May. The right-hander has posted a 2.74 ERA and 1.04 WHIP with 30 strikeouts over 23 innings across five starts with the Brewers so far this season, and he has a strong chance of securing a spot in the major-league rotation once healthy.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Targeting rehab start this weekend
Rotowire
Henderson (back) is aiming to begin a rehab assignment Sunday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Henderson has been shelved for the past month with a lower-back strain, but he's advanced his recovery to the point that a rehab start is imminent. The right-hander will likely require multiple rehab outings before rejoining the Brewers around the All-Star break if all goes well.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Keeps Yankees in check
Rotowire
Henderson didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Yankees, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out five.
The 24-year-old right-hander was taken deep for the first time this season, but it was still a productive outing overall against a tough Yankees lineup. Henderson fired 54 of his 74 pitches for strikes in his third major-league start of 2026, so it looks like Milwaukee is easing him into its rotation. Although he has a shaky 4.15 ERA through 13 innings, Henderson does boast a 16:2 K:BB and 0.92 WHIP and will be looking to crack the 80-pitch marker in his next scheduled start versus the Twins.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Headed for another start
Rotowire
Henderson is slated to start Sunday's game against the Yankees at American Family Field, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The 24-year-old righty will unsurprisingly stick around in the rotation for another turn after a stellar showing in Washington this past weekend, when he struck out eight Nationals and allowed two earned runs on three hits and no walks over six innings. With Quinn Priester (shoulder/wrist) recently getting pulled off his rehab assignment following a setback and with Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) facing an uncertain timeline for a return, Henderson should be in line for an extended look in the big-league rotation. Through his first seven starts in the majors dating back to last season, Henderson has performed at an elite level with a 2.43 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 44:9 K:BB in 33.1 innings.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Eight Ks in six strong innings
Rotowire
Henderson (0-1) took the loss Sunday against the Nationals, allowing two runs on three hits and zero walks in six innings. He struck out eight.
Henderson hardly deserved the loss Sunday, throwing 56 of his 76 pitches for strikes in a quality start. It was somewhat surprising to see the right-hander get pulled with a fairly low pitch count, but it was just his second major-league start of 2026 after he worked as a swingman for Triple-Nashville earlier this year. Henderson is set to see at least a handful of turns in Milwaukee's rotation due to Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) being on the injured list, next lining up for a tough test versus the Yankees.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Called up to start Sunday
Rotowire
The Brewers recalled Henderson from Triple-A Nashville to start Sunday's game against the Nationals, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The right-hander was briefly up with the Brewers for a doubleheader in early April but has otherwise spent the first month-plus of the season at Triple-A. Henderson has been dominant for Nashville with a 1.02 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 26:9 K:BB across 17.2 innings. The 24-year-old is now expected to get at least a couple turns through the rotation with Milwaukee after the placement of Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) on the injured list.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Up as 27th man, starting nightcap
Rotowire
Henderson will join the Brewers as the 27th man and start the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Royals, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
After striking out five batters over three innings during his first outing at Triple-A Nashville, Henderson is now set to make his season debut in the big leagues. He showed plenty of promise last year while posting a 1.78 ERA and 0.99 WHIP alongside a 33:8 K:BB over 25.1 regular-season frames across his first five MLB starts, but he was never able to lock down a full-time spot in Milwaukee's rotation. Brandon Sproat is expected to take over on the mound once Henderson is removed, and the latter will most likely be returned to Nashville after the game.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Brewers optioned Henderson to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Henderson impressed during his five regular-season starts with Milwaukee last year, turning in a 1.78 ERA and 0.99 WHIP alongside a 33:8 K:BB through 25.1 frames. Although he won't be part of the Brewers' Opening Day rotation, there's a strong chance that the 24-year-old right-hander will be called upon to start for the big club at some point, and injuries to Brandon Woodruff (lat), Quinn Priester (wrist) and Kyle Harrison (finger) could allow Henderson to return to the majors sooner rather than later.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Set for appearance Friday
Rotowire
Henderson (elbow) is scheduled to throw 2-to-3 innings in a spring training appearance Friday, Sophia Minnaert of FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin reports.
The Brewers haven't specified whether Henderson will pitch in their Cactus League game against the Diamondbacks that day, or if he'll pitch on the back fields of camp during a minor-league game. Regardless, Henderson seems to have moved past the mild right elbow soreness he experienced last week, so it still looks like he has a chance to break camp as a member of the Milwaukee rotation. Henderson shined in his first taste of the big leagues in 2025, logging a 1.78 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 33:8 K:BB over 25.1 innings in five starts before being diagnosed with a right flexor strain in early August that ended his season.
Henderson (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.comreports.
Assuming that goes well, Henderson will return to a game progression Sunday. The young right-hander hasn't pitched in a game in a week due to mild right elbow soreness, but he's bounced back quickly. As long as Henderson doesn't suffer another setback, he should remain in the mix to break camp as a member of the Brewers' rotation.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Battling elbow soreness
Rotowire
Henderson is dealing with mild right elbow soreness, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
It's a troubling development after Henderson missed the last several weeks of the 2025 season with a flexor strain, though he reported improvement with how his elbow was feeling Monday. Henderson has made two appearances during Cactus League action, but it's not clear when he might be ready to appear in another game. The right-hander is competing for a spot in the Brewers' Opening Day rotation.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Gets in three frames
Rotowire
Henderson allowed one earned run over three innings in Wednesday's spring game against the Cubs. He gave up two hits, struck out a batter and walked none.
Henderson tossed a scoreless inning in a spring game over a week ago, and he upped both the innings and the pitch count Thursday. Henderson made five starts for the Brewers last season and put up a sterling 1.78 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 33:8 K:BB over 25.1 innings, and that has helped put him in position to break camp with a spot in Milwaukee's rotation for the first time.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Clean bill of health
Rotowire
The Brewers deemed Henderson (elbow) to be fully healthy at the end of the season, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Henderson's season came to an early end after being diagnosed with a flexor strain in his right elbow in early August, but the team has now confirmed the young right-hander made a full recovery and should have a normal offseason. The 23-year-old turned a few heads by posting a 1.79 ERA and 0.99 WHIP alongside a 33:8 K:BB across 25.1 innings during his five regular-season starts with Milwaukee, and he figures to have a strong chance to make the Brewers' Opening Day rotation in 2026.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Playing catch again
Rotowire
The Brewers announced Wednesday that Henderson (elbow) has resumed playing catch out to 90 feet, MLB.com reports.
After being placed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 8 due to a right flexor tendon strain before being shifted to the 60-day IL a few weeks later, Henderson won't be eligible to return before the end of the regular season. However, the Brewers are leaving the door open for Henderson to be activated at some point during the postseason, though a return would be contingent on him avoiding any setbacks during the ramp-up process. Even if his throwing program proceeds smoothly, Henderson likely won't be able to get stretched out enough to handle a starting role in October, so the Brewers would presumably have him prepare for a multi-inning relief gig.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Diagnosed with flexor strain
Rotowire
Henderson (elbow), who was placed on the injured list earlier Friday, has been diagnosed with a right flexor strain, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Although the injury is significant enough to cause Henderson to miss his next turn through the rotation and land on the shelf, imaging revealed that the right-hander didn't suffer any damage to his UCL. Manager Pat Murphy said the diagnosis was better than what the team was expecting, adding that he doesn't expect the 23-year-old to be out for an extended period of time. Tobias Myers was recalled from Triple-A Nashville and will start Saturday's contest in place of Henderson, though that spot in the rotation will eventually fall to Jacob Misiorowski (tibia), who could return from the IL next week.
