The Diamondbacks optioned Henry to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.
Henry made three appearances for the Diamondbacks after his call-up June 9, allowing 13 runs on 14 hits (including five home runs) and seven walks while striking out six over 10 innings. He'll look to regain his control in the minors, where he has a more respectable 3.41 ERA and 1.47 WHIP across 31.2 innings. Left-hander Brandon Hughes was recalled by Arizona in a corresponding move.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Henry: Flops against Phils
Rotowire
Henry (2-3) took the loss in Saturday's 12-1 rout at the hands of the Phillies, coughing up six runs on six hits and two walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out two.
Philadelphia slugged four homers in total on the afternoon, and two of them came off Henry as Bryce Harper and Alec Bohm went back-to-back in the third inning. The 26-year-old southpaw has failed to pitch more than four innings in any of his last four appearances as he bounces between the rotation and long relief, and on the season he carries a rough 7.04 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 30:18 K:BB through 38.1 innings. Zac Gallen (hamstring) appears close to returning, which could bump Henry back to the bullpen, but if he gets another start it lines up to come at home next weekend against the A's.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Henry: Set for Saturday's start
Rotowire
Henry is slated to start Saturday's game against the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.
Henry has already made six starts with Arizona this season, but his last two appearances with the big club following his June 9 call-up from Triple-A Reno have come as a primary pitcher out of the bullpen behind opening pitcher Scott McGough. Though Henry was roughed up for seven earned runs over 6.1 innings between those two relief outings, he'll get another turn through the rotation, this time as a traditional starter. Zac Gallen (hamstring) appears on track to return from the 15-day injured list by next weekend, so Henry will likely be on his way out of the rotation regardless of how he performs Saturday.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Henry: Pays price for walks
Rotowire
Henry allowed five runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three over four innings in Saturday's 9-2 loss to the White Sox.
The left-handed Henry was slated to be the bulk pitcher but was not brought into the game until the sixth inning, as Chicago loaded its lineup with all right-handed batters. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo sent a slew of righties to the mound before Henry, who entered with the Diamondbacks still in the game, down 4-2. He got through his first inning before giving up two walks and a three-run home run in the seventh. Two innings later, the third batter he walked trotted home on another home run. Henry has allowed seven runs on eight hits and five walks over 6.1 innings since being called up for his second stint in the majors.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Henry: Working behind opener Saturday
Rotowire
Henry is expected to work in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Scott McGough in Saturday's game against the White Sox, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
After being called up from Triple-A Reno last Sunday, Henry worked behind McGough and picked up a win against the Padres, despite giving up two earned runs over three hits and two walks over 2.1 innings. Henry hasn't been used since that relief outing, so he should be able to give Arizona plenty of length once McGough exits Saturday's contest.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Henry: Credited with Sunday's win
Rotowire
Henry (2-2) picked up Sunday's win, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out one over 2.1 innings against the Padres.
Henry followed opener Scott McGough and was the pitcher of record when the Diamondbacks scored six times in the second inning. It was a long day for Henry, who was called up from Triple-A Reno late Saturday and flew early Sunday to be in San Diego in time for the game. The left-hander was in Arizona's rotation early this season, and injuries could lead to at least one turn in the coming week. In addition to the injuries, performance may play a role in Henry staying longer. If he pitches well this week, Henry could overtake Slade Cecconi (5.66 ERA), Jordan Montgomery (6.80) or Ryne Nelson (5.96) once the injured starters return.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Henry: Recalled, could pitch Sunday
Rotowire
Henry was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Sunday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
The left-hander has a 5.40 ERA in six starts for Arizona this season but has been at Triple-A Reno since late April. Henry is a likely bet to see some innings behind opener Scott McGough in San Diego on Sunday.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Henry: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks optioned Henry to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.
The move comes a day after Henry allowed two runs while failing to record a strikeout over five frames in a start against the Dodgers. Withe Ryne Nelson (elbow) due back later this week, Henry is no longer needed in Arizona's rotation.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Henry: Lasts just four innings in loss
Rotowire
Henry (1-2) took the loss against the Dodgers on Monday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks without recording a strikeout over four innings.
Henry got another turn in the rotation with Merrill Kelly (shoulder) and Ryne Nelson (elbow) on the injured list, but he was mostly ineffective against a potent Dodgers offense. Though the extent of the damage on the scoreboard against the southpaw was a pair of second-inning runs, he didn't record a single strikeout, and only one of his 72 pitches was a swinging strike. Henry's overall body of work this season has been mediocre, as he's posted a 5.40 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 24:11 K:BB over 28.1 frames. He may be pushed out of the rotation before his next turn comes up with Nelson nearing a return to action.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Henry: Draws another start
Rotowire
Henry is slated to make his next start Monday against the Dodgers at Chase Field.
Henry made his return to the big leagues Tuesday in impressive fashion, as he limited the Cardinals to one run on five hits and one walk over six innings while striking out six en route to his first win of the season. The southpaw should have a spot in the rotation locked down until at least one of the two starters currently on the injured list -- Merrill Kelly (shoulder) and Ryne Nelson (elbow) -- are cleared to return from the shelf.
Henry (1-1) earned the win Tuesday against St. Louis, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out six.
Henry was optioned to Triple-A Reno on April 17 after logging a 6.87 ERA in four starts with the Diamondbacks. However, with Kyle Nelson (shoulder) and Merrill Kelly (shoulder) being placed on the IL, Henry rejoined the big-league club for Tuesday's start. He tied his season high in strikeouts and didn't allow multiple runs for the first time all year en route to a quality start. His impressive outing likely bought him another go-around in Arizona's rotation, with a tentative matchup against the Dodgers set for Monday.
Diamondbacks' Tommy Henry: Recalled ahead of spot start
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks recalled Henry from Triple-A Reno ahead of his start against the Cardinals on Tuesday.
The 26-year-old was demoted to Reno on April 17 after he posted a 6.87 ERA, 1.80 WHIP and 18:8 K:BB in his first four starts of the season, but he'll rejoin the Diamondbacks for another start Tuesday. Henry could stick in the rotation with a strong performance since Ryne Nelson (elbow) and Merrill Kelly (shoulder) are on the injured list.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Henry: Drawing spot start Tuesday
Rotowire
Henry will be recalled from Triple-A Reno to start Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
The Diamondbacks optioned Henry to Triple-A last Wednesday, so Arizona will have to place a player on the injured list to facilitate the left-hander's return to the 26-man active roster. The southpaw has struggled in his first four appearances of the 2024 campaign, posting a 6.87 ERA and 1.80 WHIP with 18 strikeouts across 18.1 innings, though he'll draw a favorable matchup Tuesday in St. Louis.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Henry: Tagged for five runs
Rotowire
Henry didn't factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing five runs on nine hits and a walk over 4.1 innings against the Cubs. He struck out three.
After yielding a pair of runs in back-to-back starts, Henry had a tough time getting through the Cubs' order. While he didn't surrender a home run, the Cubs accounted for six extra-base hits off Henry while he generated a season-low three strikeouts. With Jordan Montgomery set to join the D-Backs' rotation Friday, it appears as though Henry could be the odd man out.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Henry: Heads to Triple-A
Rotowire
Arizona optioned Henry to Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.
Henry was sent down immediately following his latest poor start in which he allowed five runs over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Cubs on Tuesady. With Jordan Montgomery slated to join the Arizona rotation later this week, Henry became the odd man out.
Diamondbacks' Tommy Henry: Fans six at Coors Field
Rotowire
Henry came away with an no-decision in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Rockies, giving up three runs (two earned) on four hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out six.
A two-run homer by Michael Toglia in the fourth inning accounted for most of the damage off Henry, who exited the game after 95 pitches (62 strikes). The results could have been far worse at Coors Field, but the southpaw has still been taken deep in all three of his starts to begin the season and has a 5.79 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 15:7 K:BB through 14 innings. He'll look for his first win of 2024 in his next outing, likely to come early next week at home against the Cubs.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Henry: Punches out five in no-decision
Rotowire
Henry did not factor into the decision Friday against Atlanta, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out five.
Henry looked much sharper against Atlanta after struggling in his season debut against Colorado. He faced no easy task -- having to duel Spencer Strider -- and managed to tally more whiffs than the Atlanta righty (14 vs. 12). Henry is tentatively scheduled for a rematch with the Rockies on the road in his next start.
