Brewers' Logan Henderson: Cleared to pitch Wednesday
Rotowire
Henderson (forearm) is listed as the Brewers' probable starter for Wednesday's game against the Mets in Milwaukee, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.
Henderson relayed after Friday's win over the Marlins that he contended with forearm cramps in the Brewers' first game of the second half, but the issue apparently isn't considered serious enough to prevent him from making his next turn through the rotation on four days' rest. The right-hander limited Miami to just one run on three hits and no walks over five innings Friday, whittling his ERA and WHIP down to 2.97 and 0.93, respectively, over seven starts with the big club this season.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Battling forearm cramps
Rotowire
Henderson said after Friday's win over Miami that he was experiencing forearm cramping during the fifth inning, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Henderson was visited on the mound by one of the Brewers' trainers in the fifth but remained in the game to finish the inning and ended his night with one run allowed on three hits and no walks while fanning four batters in five frames. He also said after the game that he was already feeling better, and the team's decision to keep him in the game after the mound visit suggests that he isn't dealing with anything serious. That said, it's still something the team will likely keep an eye on leading up to his next start -- currently lined up to come Wednesday against the Mets.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Registers victory in return
Rotowire
Henderson (3-1) earned the win over St. Louis on Thursday, allowing three runs on three hits and one walk while striking out four batters over 5.1 innings.
Henderson returned to Milwaukee's rotation after spending over six weeks on the IL due to a back injury. The 24-year-old was held to a modest 76 pitches in his first start back, but that was enough for him to cover 5.1 frames and qualify for the win. Henderson yielded only one run while he was in the game, but his final line sagged a little after the two batters he put on base in the sixth inning both scored following his departure. The right-hander has pitched well for the Brewers when healthy so far this season, posting a 3.18 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 34:7 K:BB over 28.1 innings spanning six starts. He appears set to remain in the rotation following the All-Star break.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Activated ahead of start
Rotowire
The Brewers reinstated Henderson (back) from the injured list ahead of his start Thursday against the Cardinals, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Henderson has been out of action since late May due to a strained back, but he was given the green light to return to the majors Thursday after giving up two runs while striking out 11 batters in 6.1 innings across two rehab outings at Triple-A Nashville. He built up to just 68 pitches during his final appearance in the minors, so he'll likely have a workload restriction in place during his first start back with the Brewers, but he still offers plenty of upside after posting a 2.74 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in 23 frames during his first five starts of the year. Garrett Stallings was optioned to Nashville in a corresponding move.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Confirmed to start Thursday
Rotowire
Henderson (back) will be activated from the 15-day injured list and start Thursday's game in St. Louis, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The Brewers previously had confirmed that Henderson's next start would come in the majors, and now he's been announced as the starter for Thursday's series finale versus the Cardinals. Henderson has been shelved since late May with a back strain but has been cleared to return after allowing two earned runs with an 11:2 K:BB over 6.2 innings in two rehab outings. The righty threw 68 pitches in his last rehab start, so he will not be ready for a full workload Thursday.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Next outing to be in majors
Rotowire
Henderson (back) will be activated from the IL to make his next start for the Brewers, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Henderson last pitched for Milwaukee on May 22 and subsequently landed on the IL due to a back strain. He's since made two minor-league rehab starts, tossing a combined 6.2 innings, during which he's allowed two runs while posting an 11:2 K:BB. Henderson is now slated to return to the Brewers' rotation, and his return start is likely to come next week during Milwaukee's series against St. Louis.
Henderson (back) will make his next minor-league rehab start Friday, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.
It'll be the second outing of Henderson's rehab assignment after he struck out seven while throwing 50 pitches over three scoreless frames with Triple-A Nashville on Sunday. Manager Pat Murphy said Monday that the right-hander is expected to come off the injured list prior to the All-Star break, which lines up Friday's outing to be his final rehab start before rejoining Milwaukee's rotation.
Brewers' Logan Henderson: Expected back before All-Star break
Rotowire
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Monday that he expects Henderson (back) to return from the 15-day injured list before the All-Star break, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Henderson fanned seven over three scoreless innings Sunday in his first rehab start with Triple-A Nashville. He threw 50 pitches in that outing and appears set to make just one more rehab start before rejoining the Milwaukee rotation next week. Out since late May with a lower-back strain, Henderson boasts a 2.74 ERA and 1.04 WHIP with 30 strikeouts over 23 innings during his time with Milwaukee this season.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Racks up seven Ks in rehab start
Rotowire
Henderson (back) struck out seven and allowed one hit and one walk over three scoreless innings Sunday in a rehab start with Triple-A Nashville.
Making his first appearance in a game setting since May 22, Henderson was about as sharp as the Brewers could have hoped. He compiled 10 whiffs on his 50 pitches (32 strikes), working into the fourth inning while averaging 92.9 mph with his four-seam fastball. Henderson will likely need to get stretched out to the 65-to-75-pitch range before coming off the 15-day injured list, so he'll presumably make at least one more start in the minors. The right-hander looks like he could have a shot at returning to the Milwaukee rotation during the final week before the All-Star break.
Henderson (back) was sent to Triple-A Nashville to begin a minor-league rehab assignment Sunday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Henderson will return to the mound in a contest for the first time since suffering a lower-back strain in late May. The right-hander has posted a 2.74 ERA and 1.04 WHIP with 30 strikeouts over 23 innings across five starts with the Brewers so far this season, and he has a strong chance of securing a spot in the major-league rotation once healthy.
Brewers' Logan Henderson: Targeting rehab start this weekend
Rotowire
Henderson (back) is aiming to begin a rehab assignment Sunday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Henderson has been shelved for the past month with a lower-back strain, but he's advanced his recovery to the point that a rehab start is imminent. The right-hander will likely require multiple rehab outings before rejoining the Brewers around the All-Star break if all goes well.
Henderson received an injection in his back Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Henderson was placed on the injured list Tuesday with a lower-back strain, and the Brewers anticipate him returning to the rotation sometime in late June or early July. Robert Gasser, Coleman Crow and Shane Drohan have all received starts while the Brewers look for ways to replace Henderson in the rotation.
Brewers' Logan Henderson: Forced to IL with back strain
Rotowire
The Brewers placed Henderson on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to a low back strain.
Henderson battled through back tightness during his previous start Friday against the Dodgers. Despite the injury, Henderson pitched effectively (nine strikeouts, one run allowed over five innings) en route to claiming the win, but he apparently didn't bounce back from the back issue as quickly as the Brewers had hoped. After landing on the IL, the young right-hander won't be available to rejoin the Milwaukee rotation until June 7. Coleman Crow was recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move and could make a start the next time Henderson's turn in the rotation comes up.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Next start iffy due to back issue
Rotowire
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Monday that Henderson might not make his next scheduled start Wednesday against the Cardinals due to back tightness, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.
Henderson went five scoreless frames versus the Dodgers his last time out, despite his back tightening up on him after the second inning. Murphy said Monday of Henderson's back issue that "there's reason for concern," adding that the club will "keep a really close eye on it" before determining the righty's readiness for Wednesday's contest. It's unclear who might draw the start Wednesday if Henderson is unable to go, as it could depend on which pitchers are needed in relief in the first two games of the series.
