Overview
- The Brewers announced Tuesday that right-hander Logan Henderson was placed on the 15-day injured list retroactive to May 23 with a low back strain.
- Henderson reported low back tightness after throwing five scoreless innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers and said he has dealt with similar tightness before.
- The rookie had broken out early this season, posting a 2.74 ERA with 30 strikeouts and six walks across 23 innings and making a rare run of starts allowing two or fewer runs to begin his big-league career.
- Milwaukee recalled Coleman Crow from Triple-A Nashville to take Henderson’s roster spot and Crow is likely to make the next scheduled rotation start.
- The team projects a return for Henderson around mid-June, a timeline that should preserve his early-season momentum but leaves the Brewers improvising in the rotation until veteran starters or rehabbing pitchers come back.
