Dodgers' Edgardo Henriquez: Exceeds 103 mph on radar gun
Rotowire
Henriquez tied a Dodgers franchise record for the pitch-tracking era by throwing a 103.3 mph fastball against the Padres on Saturday. He tossed 1.1 scoreless innings in the victory, allowing one hit and issuing one walk while striking out two batters.
The right-hander has always been known as a flamethrower, but he reached a new level against San Diego. The impressive velocity is not an isolated incident though, as Henriquez is averaging 101.3 mph on his fastball in the majors this year. Somewhat surprisingly, that's led to a modest four punchouts over six innings, but he's been very effective in that small sample, as he's yet to give up a run while surrendering just three hits and one walk. Los Angeles will probably need to see more to move Henriquez into a high-leverage role however, as he's posted a far less impressive 6.85 ERA and 1.90 WHIP over 23.2 frames with Triple-A Oklahoma City this season.

Rotowire
Henriquez (foot) pitched on back-to-back days Wednesday and Thursday for the first time during his current minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City, per MLB.com.
Henriquez was excellent in the back-to-back appearances, striking out three batters and allowing just one hit over two scoreless innings. The right-hander tacked on another scoreless frame Saturday, and he's allowed just one run over his past five outings spanning six innings with OKC. Henriquez appears just about ready to be activated from the 60-day IL, which could lead to him contributing to the big-league bullpen in the near future.
Henriquez (foot) kicked off a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, independent writer Howard Cole reports.
Henriquez looked a bit rusty Thursday in his first rehab outing, allowing one run on one hit and two walks while striking out one batter over two-thirds of an inning. The right-handed reliever remains on the 60-day IL after suffering a left foot injury early this spring. Henriquez got his first taste of major-league action last year, posting a 2.70 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 5:2 K:BB over 3.1 innings during the regular season before allowing four runs over five frames across three playoff appearances.

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.
