Logan Henderson (back) to return in early July

Logan Henderson

MIL Starting Pitcher #43

Player Stats

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.

Jacob Misiorowski

MIL Starting Pitcher #32

Jacob Misiorowski will start Game 1 of the NL Division Series on Saturday.

No surprise here. Brewers manager Pat Murphy confirmed that fellow youngster Logan Henderson will get the ball for Game 2. Misiorowski made the leap from hard-throwing rookie phenom to full-fledged front-of-the-rotation superstar this season with a microscopic 1.80 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 252/44 K/BB ratio across 174 2/3 innings over 30 starts. He’ll spearhead Milwaukee’s pitching staff when they open up postseason play against either the Padres or Cubs later this week.
Logan Henderson

MIL Starting Pitcher #43

Logan Henderson threw five innings of one-run ball in a victory over the Phillies on Wednesday.

Henderson definitely wasn’t at his sharpest in finishing with three strikeouts and three walks. In fact, it’s the first time in 18 starts this year that he hadn’t have at least twice as many strikeouts as walks. His regular season ends with him 11-3 with 2.47 ERA and a 110/19 K/BB in 98 1/3 innings, and he figures to be the Brewers’ Game 2 starter in the NLDS.

Logan Henderson yielded three runs in five innings Wednesday versus the Pirates.

Henderson struck out eight, but he gave up a solo homer to Oneil Cruz in the fourth and then a two-run shot to Brandon Lowe in the fifth. It’s the first time in six starts that he’s allowed three runs, and he still hasn’t exceeded that total in 17 starts on the season. He’ll take a 2.51 ERA into a start next week against the Phillies.

MIL Starting Pitcher #43

Logan Henderson allowed only an unearned run and two hits over five-plus innings in defeating the Cubs on Wednesday.

Henderson struck out six and walked only one, but some long at-bats did leave him at 95 pitches one batter into the sixth. Fortunately, the Brewers pen protected his lead afterwards, though things did get dicey in the ninth. Henderson moved to 10-3 with a 2.34 ERA. He probably has just two regular-season starts to go, with the next coming in Pittsburgh.

Logan Henderson pitched well in a losing effort against the Cubs on Thursday evening, allowing two runs on three hits over seven strong innings.

Henderson racked up seven strikeouts on the night and didn’t allow a base on balls. The lone blemish on his day came on a two-run blast off the bat of Pete Crow-Armstrong in the third inning. Unfortunately, that was enough to do him in. Henderson got 13 swings and misses on 102 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 27 percent. Now 9-3 on the season, he’ll carry a brilliant 2.48 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and a 93/14 K/BB ratio (83 1/3 innings) into a rematch against the Cubs at home on Wednesday.
Robert Gasser

MIL Starting Pitcher #54

MLB.com’s Adam McCalvy reports that the Brewers will “stay with the six-man rotation for the next series against the Rangers.”

McCalvy does suggest this could simply be to line things up for the next series in Wrigley Field against the Cubs and might not be a long-term strategy. However, it does mean that Logan Henderson, Shane Drohan, and Robert Gasser will start, in that order, against the Rangers this weekend.

Logan Henderson improved to 8-2 after limiting the Braves to one run over six innings on Saturday.

Henderson struck out four and walked two in his 12th straight outing of at least five innings and no more than three runs allowed. He’ll take on the Rangers next weekend.

Logan Henderson limited the Dodgers to one run and three hits over seven innings in a victory Sunday.

The Brewers probably could have had Tarik Skubal if they were willing to send Henderson to Detroit, but the right-hander again demonstrated today why that would have been a bad idea. It might not be totally correct to say Henderson outdueled Skubal today — one got good defensive support and one didn’t — but he did come away with the win in the matchup. Henderson still hasn’t allowed more than three runs in any of his 12 starts this year. He’ll take a 7-2 record and a 2.70 ERA into his next start versus the Braves.

Logan Henderson took a loss after allowing three runs in 6 1/3 innings
Monday against the Padres.

He struck out seven. It’s the second time Henderson has allowed three runs this season; he’s given up two or fewer in his remaining nine starts. The loss makes him 6-2 with a 2.88 ERA ahead of a probable start Sunday against the Dodgers.
Logan Henderson

MIL Starting Pitcher #43

Logan Henderson went six innings and allowed two runs to get a win over the Pirates on Tuesday.

Henderson gave up a pair of home runs, but both came with no one on to make them more digestible. Outside of the roundtrippers the 24-year-old was outstanding with eight strikeouts against one walk while throwing 55-of-83 pitches for strikes. He’s now 6-1 on the season with an excellent 2.70 ERA on the season, and a chance to make both numbers better is scheduled to come next week against the Padres in San Diego.

Francys Romero reports that Aroldis Chapman passed his physical and his $13 million option for 2027 has vested.

Chapman will earn at least that $13 million, but could be in for more as he has 2026 Reliever of the Year bonus escalators that range from $100,000 to $1 million. The 38-year-old will again serve as the stopper for Boston in 2027.

Padres placed RHP Walker Buehler on the postseason paternity list.

The paternity list works the same as in the regular season; Buehler can be away from the team for up to three days as he awaits the birth of his second child. He could be an option to start Game 3 or 4 for the Padres in San Diego once back with the team against the Brewers. Randy Vásquez will be on the roster while Buehler is away.

Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports that Dylan Dodd could be the opener for Game 1 of the NLDS against the Dodgers.

Dodd, 28, has worked multiple innings at times in 2026, but it seems unlikely he’d pitch more than one time through the order. It sounds like Game 1 will be a pure bullpen game for Atlanta on Saturday, and they’ll have to match Tarik Skubal in order to procure a win. Tough task.

Blake Snell will start Game 2 of the NLDS against Atlanta on Sunday.

A little bit of a surprise, but a pretty justifiable one. Tarik Skubal will get the ball for Game 1 against Atlanta, and they’ll have another southpaw hurl the second game in Los Angeles. That means Yoshinobu Yamamoto — one of the best starters in baseball in 2026 — will be the starter for Game 3 at home for the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Michael King will start Game 2 of the NLDS against the Brewers.

King was brilliant in a victory over the Cubs in Game 1 of the Wild Card Series, allowing just one hit over seven innings of scoreless baseball. He’ll be on regular rest for Game 2 on Sunday and would also be lined up to pitch in Game 5 on regular rest if the series goes that long. The expectation is that Nick Pivetta will start Game 3 for the Padres.

The 35-year-old southpaw went 13-8 with a 3.59 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and a 140/84 K/BB ratio over 165 2/3 innings in 31 appearances (30 starts) between the Giants and Padres. In his last start against the Brewers on August 12, Ray allowed two runs on two hits and three walks in just four innings of work. He’ll be opposed by Brewers’ ace Jacob Misiorowski on Saturday night in Milwaukee.
