Brewers Call Up Logan Henderson Amid Injury Crisis, Seek Relief for Struggling Pitching Staff
April 16, 2025
Their bullpen has been particularly problematic, with a 5.94 ERA this season, a stark contrast to last year's impressive 3.11 ERA.
Henderson has performed well in Nashville, boasting a 3.21 ERA in three games, with 24 strikeouts in 14 innings, including 10 shutout innings since his initial start.
In his latest outing, Henderson struck out eight batters while allowing no hits and two walks over five innings.
Henderson is expected to replicate the impact of Quinn Priester, who has allowed only one run in ten innings across two starts since joining the Brewers.
Murphy highlighted the urgency for assistance, stating, 'We need all the help we can. All hands on deck,' regarding Henderson's potential role.
Last season, Henderson posted a combined 7-6 record with a 3.32 ERA and 104 strikeouts across 81 1/3 innings, having been drafted by the Brewers in the fourth round of the 2021 amateur draft.
Despite these struggles, the bullpen has recently shown signs of improvement, allowing just one run over the last nine innings.
To make room for Henderson, the Brewers optioned right-hander Elvin Rodríguez to Nashville, who recorded a 7.53 ERA in four appearances this season.
Manager Pat Murphy praised Henderson's diverse pitching repertoire, emphasizing the need for both 'chuckers and heavers' in today's game.
The Milwaukee Brewers have recalled pitcher Logan Henderson from Triple-A Nashville to bolster their injury-depleted pitching staff.
This season, the Brewers' pitching staff has struggled, holding a 4.93 ERA, which ranks them 28th in Major League Baseball.
The team is currently facing significant injury challenges, with key pitchers like Aaron Ashby, Aaron Civale, and Brandon Woodruff on the injured list.
