Overview
- Logan Henderson was activated from the 15-day injured list to start Thursday, July 9, for the Brewers in the series finale at Busch Stadium.
- Henderson entered the start with a 2-1 record and a 2.74 ERA in five 2026 starts and carries a strong small-sample major-league track record dating to April 2025.
- The Brewers placed Brandon Woodruff on the injured list after an MRI showed a re-injury to his surgically repaired shoulder, creating the immediate need for Henderson's start.
- Milwaukee has already clinched the week’s series over St. Louis and will use a stretch of scheduled young starters after the series, with Brandon Sproat, Shane Drohan and Jacob Misiorowski lined up for the road trip before the All-Star break.
- Henderson is rated among the club’s top prospects (No. 7 per MLB Pipeline), and his availability gives the Brewers short-term rotation depth while protecting developing arms and shaping roster moves such as the corresponding option of Garrett Stallings to Triple-A.
