Overview
- Henderson disclosed on WBAL’s Orioles Hot Stove Show that he played through a shoulder impingement for roughly three-quarters of last season.
- He said the injury kept him from getting to his preferred swing position, though he emphasized he made no excuses and kept playing.
- Despite reduced power, he finished 2025 at .274/.349/.438 with 17 home runs, 34 doubles and 30 stolen bases after hitting 37 homers in 2024.
- He did not go on the injured list for the shoulder and appeared in 154 of 155 games after his early April activation, expressing confidence about being healthy in 2026.
- Baltimore’s offseason additions of Pete Alonso and Taylor Ward are expected to bolster the lineup and lessen the pressure on Henderson to supply most of the power.
