Brewers manager Pat Murphy told reporters Logan Henderson (back) will return before next month’s All-Star break.
There was hardly any doubt after Henderson piled up seven strikeouts over three shutout innings during his latest minor league rehab start for Triple-A Nashville over the weekend. The 24-year-old will need at least one additional tune-up outing to build up his pitch count, but he’s primed to rejoin Milwaukee’s rotation at some point in early July. He’s shown some real flashes of immense potential, when healthy, with a sparkling 2.23 ERA and 63/14 K/BB ratio across 48 1/3 innings at the highest level over the last two seasons. He’s worthy of a speculative roster spot in all fantasy leagues.
