Tarik Skubal's Struggles Lead to Dodgers' Loss to Brewers in Series Finale The Los Angeles Dodgers suffered a 6-2 defeat to the Milwaukee Brewers in the series finale at Dodger Stadium, marking a pivotal moment in their season as they fell to 3-4 in the four-game set. The loss extended the Dodgers’ struggles against the Brewers, who now hold the edge in the season series, potentially impacting postseason seeding if tiebreakers come into play. The game, which saw Tarik Skubal take the mound for his final start of the season, ended with the left-handed pitcher charged with the loss despite a valiant effort. Skubal, making his third start with the Dodgers, pitched six innings while allowing two runs—one earned—on seven hits. He struck out seven batters, walked two, and threw a career-high 109 pitches, a significant increase from his previous season-high of 96. The Brewers’ aggressive approach at the plate, which kept Skubal’s pitch count elevated throughout the game, tested his endurance. Despite the challenges, Skubal managed to limit the damage, with the only runs scoring on a missed-catch error by Tommy Edman in the second inning and an RBI single by Jake Bauers in the fifth. The game’s turning point came in the sixth inning, where Skubal, already at 95 pitches through five frames, retired the side in order. He struck out Brandon Lockridge on three pitches, retired Joey Ortiz on a foul tip, and ended Jonathan Ornelas’ at-bat with a well-placed curveball on the seventh pitch. However, his frustration was evident as he walked off the mound after the inning, signaling the end of his final start with the team. Skubal’s performance in three starts as a Dodger has been marked by a 3.18 ERA, with six earned runs allowed in 17 innings.#los_angeles_dodgers #tarik_skubal #milwaukee_brewers #logan_henderson #tommie_edman
Dodgers Lose Again to Brewers as Strong Tarik Skubal Start Goes to Waste The Los Angeles Dodgers suffered another loss to the Milwaukee Brewers, despite a strong performance from Tarik Skubal in his third start with the team. The game, the final contest of a four-game series against the NL-best Brewers, ended in a 6-2 Brewers victory, securing a 3-1 series win for Milwaukee. The result highlighted the Dodgers’ struggles to capitalize on Skubal’s efforts and their ongoing challenges in the NL playoff race. Skubal, making his third start since joining the Dodgers from the Detroit Tigers at the trade deadline, pitched six innings while allowing two runs. He struck out seven batters and limited the Brewers to two hits, but his efforts were in vain as the Dodgers’ offense failed to respond. The Brewers’ starter, Logan Henderson, outdueled Skubal with seven one-run innings, keeping the Dodgers’ bats in check. Henderson allowed just three hits and one walk while striking out six, showcasing his dominance on the mound. The only damage the Dodgers managed against Henderson came from a solo home run by Max Muncy in the fourth inning. The Dodgers’ offense struggled throughout the game, tallying only six hits. Their two runs came from solo home runs by Muncy and Andy Pages, with Pages’ late-game blast in the ninth inning proving largely symbolic. The team’s best chance for a rally came in the eighth inning, when runners were on the corners with one out and a 4-1 deficit. However, Shohei Ohtani’s double play ended the threat, leaving the Dodgers without a chance to mount a comeback. Skubal’s performance, while solid, did not translate into a win for the Dodgers. After leaving the game in the top of the sixth inning with a 2-1 lead, the Brewers’ bullpen capitalized on the opportunity.#shohei_ohtani #los_angeles_dodgers #tarik_skubal #milwaukee_brewers #logan_henderson
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
This Rookie Pitcher Has Earned a Permanent Spot in the Brewers' 2026 Rotation The Milwaukee Brewers' pitching lab has once again produced a standout product, as rookie right-hander Logan Henderson has solidified his place in the team’s 2026 starting rotation. After a season of limited opportunities due to a crowded rotation, Henderson has stepped up in the wake of injuries and roster adjustments, showcasing the potential that made him a key prospect in the organization’s development system. The Brewers faced significant upheaval in their rotation during the offseason, losing key contributors such as ace Freddy Peralta and depth arm Tobias Myers to the New York Mets in a blockbuster trade. José Quintana, who had been a reliable presence in the rotation the previous season, also left for the Colorado Rockies via free agency. Meanwhile, veteran starters Brandon Woodruff and Quinn Priester struggled during Spring Training, leading to a rotation that lacked experience at the start of the 2026 campaign. Despite Woodruff being retained for the Opening Day roster, the team’s rotation included Jacob Misiorowski, Kyle Harrison, Chad Patrick, and Brandon Sproat—all of whom had limited big-league track records. The situation took a dramatic turn when Woodruff landed on the injured list (IL) in early May with a right shoulder inflammation issue. This forced the Brewers to rely heavily on their Triple-A depth, including Henderson, who had previously shown promise in his rookie season but had been sidelined due to the crowded rotation. When Woodruff was sidelined, Henderson was called upon to fill the void, and he has since made a strong case for his role in the major leagues.#milwaukee_brewers #freddy_peralta #tobias_myers #logan_henderson #jose_quintana
Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire: Key Additions and Strategic Moves The latest fantasy baseball waiver wire highlights a surge in starting pitchers and emerging offensive threats, offering managers opportunities to strengthen their rosters. Logan Henderson, a right-handed pitcher for the Brewers, stands out as a top priority, with his performance and the team’s developmental success making him a must-add. Henderson has posted a 2.49 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, and a 56:11 K:BB ratio in nine major league starts, supported by the Brewers’ reputation for nurturing young starters like Jacob Misiorowski and Kyle Harrison. Fantasy managers are advised to act quickly, as Henderson’s roster rate is expected to rise by at least 20%. Bryce Miller, the Mariners’ right-hander, presents another compelling option. After a struggling 2025 season with a 5.68 ERA, Miller has rebounded with a 1.64 ERA and 10:2 K:BB ratio in two recent starts. His resurgence, combined with the Mariners’ strong team support and a pitcher-friendly home park, positions him to match the ceiling of starters in less than 70% of Yahoo leagues. Similarly, Ben Brown of the Cubs is gaining traction after adding a sinker to his arsenal. His three starts have yielded a 2.08 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, and a 16:4 K:BB ratio, with the Cubs’ winning record and favorable park conditions enhancing his appeal. J.T. Ginn of the Athletics remains a viable option, particularly for managers seeking a reliable mid-rotation pitcher. Ginn’s ability to induce grounders, paired with improved fastball and sinker velocity, has led to better exit velocity and barrel rate metrics. While he ranks below the pitchers mentioned earlier, his performance in a homer-happy venue makes him a solid choice for most leagues. On the offensive side, Carson Benge of the Mets is emerging as a potential sleeper.#carson_benge #logan_henderson #bryce_miller #ben_brown #jt_ginn
Logan Henderson’s Unconventional Approach to Pitching Success Logan Henderson isn’t what you would call a ground-ball pitcher. Of the 71 batters the Brewers’ right-hander has faced so far this season, 45 have put the ball in play, with only eight hitting ground balls. That translates to a 17.8% ground-ball rate, the third lowest among qualifying pitchers. Unlike many in the league, Henderson is giving up a significant number of fly balls, line drives, and popups, yet his performance has been nothing short of impressive. With Brandon Woodruff and Quinn Priester sidelined on the injured list, Henderson has stepped into a starting role and has thrived. Set to start Friday against the Dodgers at American Family Field, he has posted a 3.50 ERA and 23 strikeouts in four starts for the Brewers. Building on a stellar 2025 debut campaign, Henderson now boasts a 2.49 career ERA, placing him among just seven pitchers in franchise history with a sub-2.50 ERA in their first nine career starts. The former MLB Pipeline Top 100 prospect has found success by keeping hitters off-balance, inducing softly hit contact, and maintaining elite strikeout and walk rates. This season, he has an impressive 32.4% strikeout rate, compared to a 4.2% walk rate (three walks in 18 innings). Through Wednesday, his strikeout-minus-walk rate of 28.2% ranks third among starting pitchers with at least 10 innings pitched, trailing only the Orioles’ Dean Kremer (32.6%) and Brewers teammate Jacob Misiorowski (31.3%). Henderson’s 56 strikeouts through his first nine Major League starts are just one more than Misiorowski recorded in the same span. In Brewers history, only Freddy Peralta (63) and Corbin Burnes (59) have surpassed that mark, with Mike Fiers tied with Henderson at 56.#mlb #brewers #american_family_field #logan_henderson #theo_derosa
