Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Logan Henderson is expected to be optioned to Triple-A Nashville to make room for right-handed reliever Craig Yoho on the active major-league roster this week. The Brewers' starting rotation didn't have imminent room for Henderson despite his excellent debut on Sunday now that right-hander Tobias Myers (oblique) is returning from the injured list on Thursday. The 23-year-old is the team's No. 12 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and he thoroughly impressed against the Athletics on Sunday, allowing one run in six innings with nine strikeouts for a win in his debut. Henderson will head back to the farm for now, but after his impressive debut over the weekend, he should be in play as one of the top starting considerations if the Brewers have another need this season. The former fourth-rounder doesn't pass the eye test, but his numbers say otherwise.
Logan Henderson Stellar In His MLB Debut on Sunday
Milwaukee Brewers 23-year-old Logan Henderson had himself an afternoon to remember on Sunday against the Athletics. The 2021 fourth-round pick made his MLB debut on Sunday and went six innings, allowing three hits, one walk, and one earned run to go along with striking out nine Athletics to earn his first MLB win. His only blemish on the afternoon was a one-out solo home run to Seth Brown. The Brewers went on to win the game 14-1, and Henderson certainly made his case to stay in the big leagues. Although the outing was excellent, the Brewers likely plan to reinstate Tobias Myers (oblique) from the injured list this week, so it's unclear whether or not Henderson will stay with the big league club. Regardless, he remains someone fantasy managers should keep their eyes on and should be added to dynasty-format leagues.
Milwaukee Brewers pitching prospect Logan Henderson tossed six innings of one-run ball in his MLB debut on Sunday afternoon. In this outing against the Athletics, Henderson allowed just three hits, one walk, and struck out nine batters, en route to picking up the victory. This was an impressive debut for the 23-year-old. His lone blemish came in the fifth inning when Seth Brown hit a solo blast. Henderson was given the call to the big leagues due to the numerous injuries in the Milwaukee rotation. Earlier in the season, he logged 14 innings at Triple-A to the tune of a 3.21 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP. During this stint, he tallied 24 punchouts with just 10 walks. Given his impressive debut, fantasy managers should expect the former fourth-round pick to earn at least another turn in the rotation. He is worth adding in all 12-team formats.
The Milwaukee Brewers promoted pitching prospect Logan Henderson to the major league roster. In a corresponding move, the Brewers optioned right-handed pitcher Elvin Rodriguez to Triple-A Nashville. After allowing five runs in his season debut, Henderson has flipped the script at Triple-A and is being rewarded with a promotion. Over his last two outings, Henderson has tossed back-to-back five-inning shutouts. During this stretch, he has allowed just three hits and seven walks. He has struck out 16 batters. Due to the numerous injuries in the Milwaukee rotation, fantasy managers should expect the right-hander to see opportunities in the rotation. Currently, Quinn Priester and Jose Quintana are set to start the final two games of their series against the Tigers, which could set Henderson up for his big league debut over the weekend, against the Athletics.
Logan Henderson Strikes Out Eight In Second Straight Outing
Milwaukee Brewers pitching prospect Logan Henderson enjoyed another impressive outing on Wednesday evening. In this start, Henderson tossed five shutout innings and allowed just two walks with no hits. He struck out eight batters. This was his second-straight contest tossing five shutout frames and tallying eight punchouts. Henderson has begun to turn the corner following a rough season debut in which he allowed six hits and five earned runs across four innings of work. The 23-year-old is a name to monitor, given Milwaukee's numerous injuries to their starting rotation. If Henderson continues to perform well with Triple-A, he could get the call to the major leagues. The right-hander held a modest 4.56 ERA with Triple-A last season and appears to be taking a significant step forward in his development.
Milwaukee Brewers pitching prospect Logan Henderson enjoyed a strong bounce-back in his second start. On Thursday, he tossed five shutout frames against the Gwinnett Stripers. He allowed just three hits and five walks. He struck out eight. In his first outing of the campaign, Henderson stumbled against Jacksonville, allowing six hits and five earned runs across five innings of work. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on Henderson's progression as he could be in the mix to join Milwaukee given the extent of injuries in their starting rotation. Last season, Henderson spent most of his time at the Double-A level, where he logged 46 1/3 innings and held a 3.30 ERA, 0.88 WHIP, and a stellar 7:58 BB:K. If the 23-year-old continues to produce well at Triple-A, he could enter stash territory.
