Brewers Place Logan Henderson on 15-Day Injured List

The move opens a rotation spot that recalled right-hander Coleman Crow will fill while the club projects Henderson will return around mid-June.

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.
