Brewers' Logan Henderson: Throwing bullpen session next week
Rotowire
Henderson (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Sept. 16, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Henderson is on the 60-day injured list while recovering from a right flexor strain, an injury that occurred in early August. However, he's made progress in his recovery and the Brewers are hopeful that the rookie right-hander will be available at some point during the postseason.

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.
Henderson (elbow) is targeting a late-September or early-October return, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
With that timeline, Henderson's regular season could be over, but he may be an option for the Brewers during the playoffs. Henderson was injured in his Aug. 3 start against the Nationals when he allowed one earned run on three hits and two walks across 4.1 innings of work. He was later diagnosed with a flexor strain. The 23-year-old right-hander has made five starts for the Brewers this season, posting a 3-0 record, 1.78 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 33:8 K:BB across 25.1 innings.

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.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Placed on IL
Rotowire
The Brewers placed Henderson on the 15-day injured list Friday due to right elbow inflammation.
Henderson had been tasked with filling in for Jacob Misiorowski (tibia) and threw 4.1 innings in a start last Sunday versus the Nationals. Henderson was slated to make his second turn through the rotation Saturday versus the Mets, but he'll instead head to the IL due to the elbow issue. The Brewers haven't named a replacement in the rotation for the 23-year-old, but Tobias Myers was recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move and would be a logical candidate to make a spot start. Considering Misiorowski is expected to be healthy by the time Henderson is eligible for reinstatement, Henderson could be optioned to Nashville once he's activated.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Receiving another start
Rotowire
Henderson is slated to start Saturday's game against the Mets at American Family Field.
The rookie right-hander will make his second straight turn through the rotation in place of Jacob Misiorowski (tibia). After being recalled from Triple-A Nashville last weekend, Henderson took a no-decision in this past Sunday's win over the Nationals, covering 4.1 innings while striking out four and allowing one earned run on three hits and two walks. The Brewers seem optimistic that Misiorowski is on track to return from the IL when first eligible Aug. 15, so Henderson may not be in line for additional starts beyond Saturday.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Goes 4.1 innings in return
Rotowire
Henderson did not factor into the decision in Sunday's win over the Nationals, allowing a run on three hits and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out four.
Henderson was impressive overall Sunday, blanking Washington through his first four innings, though the Brewers pulled the right-hander after he gave up a run on back-to-back hits in the fifth. Henderson has been excellent in his brief time in the majors this season, posting a 1.78 ERA with a 0.99 WHIP and 33:8 K:BB across 25.1 innings. He should remain in the rotation for at least a couple more turns with Jacob Misiorowski (lower leg) landing on the IL. Henderson is currently in line to face the Reds on the road in his next outing.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Heading back to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Brewers optioned Henderson to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.
Henderson has gotten off to a brilliant start to his MLB career, going 3-0 with a 1.71 ERA and 0.95 WHIP over 21 innings across his first four starts. However, he just pitched Sunday, and the Brewers have decided they are in immediate need of length in the bullpen heading into this week's series against the Red Sox. DL Hall (lat) was activated from the 60-day injured list to take Henderson's spot on the active roster.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Three-start win streak
Rotowire
Henderson (3-0) earned the win Tuesday against the Orioles after allowing two hits and two walks in five scoreless innings. He struck out seven.
Henderson scattered two singles while tossing at least five innings and allowing two runs or fewer in his third consecutive start to begin his major-league career. The rookie right-hander registered an impressive 20 whiffs Tuesday, and he's now punched out at least seven in each of his first three outings. Henderson boasts a 1.69 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 23:4 K:BB over 16 frames, giving him plenty of fantasy appeal in his next scheduled start against a Pirates team that has a miserable .561 OPS through 18 games in May.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Recalled ahead of start
Rotowire
The Brewers recalled Henderson from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.
Henderson will start Wednesday's contest in Cleveland. The rookie right-hander was dynamite in a spot start in his major-league debut last month against the Athletics, tossing six innings of one-run ball with nine strikeouts. Wednesday's outing is likely to be just a spot start for Henderson, but it's possible he could convince the Brewers to keep him around if he pitches well.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Starting Wednesday for big club
Rotowire
Henderson will be recalled from Triple-A Nashville to start Wednesday in Cleveland, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
With Tobias Myers back at Triple-A and Jose Quintana (shoulder) getting pushed back, there was a spot open for Henderson this week. There are a lot of moving parts in Milwaukee, with Brandon Woodruff (ankle/shoulder) and Aaron Civale (hamstring) potentially nearing returns, so this could just be a spot start for Henderson. However, he struck out nine while allowing three hits and a walk over six frames in his big-league debut April 20 at home against the Athletics, so if Henderson logs another strong start, perhaps he could stick around.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Could draw start Wednesday
Rotowire
Henderson is a candidate to be called up from Triple-A Nashville to start Wednesday's game in Cleveland, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The Brewers optioned Tobias Myers to Nashville over the weekend and are pushing Jose Quintana (shoulder) back a few days in the pitching schedule, creating a need for a spot starter Wednesday. Henderson would be on five days' rest that day and was superb in a spot start last month in his major-league debut, tossing six innings of one-run ball with nine strikeouts versus the Athletics on April 20. Since rejoining Nashville, Henderson has made three starts and has turned in a 1.69 ERA, 0.63 WHIP and 16:1 K:BB in 16 innings.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Called up to majors
Rotowire
The Brewers recalled Henderson from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.
Henderson is one of the Brewers' top pitching prospects and could be in line to make a start for an injury-riddled Milwaukee rotation at some point this week. Quinn Priester and Jose Quintana are currently penciled in for Tuesday and Wednesday before the team hosts the Athletics over the weekend. In order to make room for Henderson, the Brewers optioned Elvin Rodriguez to Triple-A after he fired five innings of relief during Monday's 9-1 loss to the Tigers.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Opens year on IL
Rotowire
Henderson (oblique) will open the year on the injured list with High-A Wisconsin, Sam Dykstra of MLB.com reports.
Henderson, a righty, exited a March 17 Spring Breakout game with left oblique discomfort. He displayed increased velocity this spring prior to the injury, but we will have to wait a few weeks before seeing if he can hold that mid-90s fastball velocity deep into starts. Last year, Henderson had a 2.75 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and a 106:26 K:BB in 78.2 innings as a command specialist with low-90s fastball and a plus changeup at Single-A.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Held back to manage innings
Rotowire
Henderson is being held back in extended spring training in an effort to manage his workload this season, Sam Dykstra of MLB.com reports.
Henderson was limited to 13.2 innings in the lower minors late last season after undergoing elbow surgery in spring training, so he wasn't going to be able to pitch a full season this year anyway. He is currently pitching in extended spring training and will reportedly join a rotation at Single-A or High-A later this spring.
