Brewers Place Logan Henderson On Injured List The Milwaukee Brewers have placed right-handed pitcher Logan Henderson on the 15-day injured list with a low back strain, effective retroactively from May 23rd. The move comes as the team recalls righty Coleman Crow from Triple-A Nashville to fill the vacancy. Manager Pat Murphy indicated that Crow will not start until Friday, with the Brewers likely opting for a bullpen game on Wednesday before the off-day. Henderson’s injury adds to a growing list of rotation challenges for the Brewers. The 28-year-old has struggled with consistency due to recurring injuries and limited opportunities in the majors. Despite posting strong numbers when given the chance—career marks of a 2.23 ERA, 33.3% strikeout rate, and 7.4% walk rate—Henderson’s appearances have been sporadic. His last start before this injury came in August 2025, when he was sidelined by elbow inflammation. The Brewers’ rotation has faced multiple setbacks this season. Injuries to starters Quinn Priester and Brandon Woodruff have created openings, but Henderson’s latest injury now forces the team to rely on depth. Priester, recovering from a shoulder nerve issue, is on a rehab assignment and is set to make his next appearance tomorrow. Woodruff, sidelined since early May due to shoulder inflammation, is scheduled for a live batting practice session next week. Until these players return, the rotation will remain in flux. Henderson’s placement on the injured list further complicates the Brewers’ plans. The team’s current schedule includes a 13-game stretch of consecutive games starting Friday, with limited flexibility to adjust. Tonight’s start will be handled by Kyle Harrison, with Crow possibly following him on Wednesday.#milwaukee_brewers #pat_murphy #triple_a_nashville #logan_henderson #coleman_crow
Brewers Place Logan Henderson on Injured List with Back Strain, Call Up Coleman Crow Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Logan Henderson has been placed back on the 15-day injured list due to a low back strain, with the team recalling rookie righty Coleman Crow to fill his spot in the starting rotation. The move comes after Henderson, 24, reported worsening back tightness following a start on Friday against the Dodgers, to the point where he struggled with everyday tasks like tying his shoes. Henderson, who has a 2.23 ERA in 10 Major League starts over the past two seasons, has faced recurring injury issues. Last season, he spent the final two months on the injured list with right elbow inflammation, and his spring training progress was cautious. This season, he has made five starts, posting a 2-1 record with a 2.74 ERA. However, the back strain has forced him back on the disabled list, with manager Pat Murphy indicating the team felt the issue hadn’t resolved despite an MRI ruling out bulging or structural damage. The Brewers plan to use a bullpen game for Wednesday’s series finale against the Cardinals, where Henderson would have pitched if healthy. Henderson expressed disappointment at being sidelined, stating, “I want to be out there. It’s certainly disappointing. I feel like I’m obviously letting the team down, and the fans down to a degree.” He acknowledged the team’s depth, noting the roster’s readiness for other pitchers to step up. To replace Henderson, the Brewers have called up 25-year-old rookie Coleman Crow, MLB Pipeline’s No. 25 prospect. Crow, who has pitched well in two spot starts this season against the Marlins and Twins, will make his major league debut on Friday against the Astros. He last pitched for Triple-A Nashville on Friday, ensuring he’ll be well-rested for the start.#pat_murphy #milkaukee_brewers #logan_henderson #coleman_crow #brandon_woodruff
