Logan Henderson allowed three hits and one run with zero walks and four strikeouts across five innings in a no-decision against the Marlins on Friday.
It’s so easy to be bullish on Henderson. As usual, his changeup was lethal in this start, forcing five of his six total swings-and-misses and plenty of weak contact as well. His cutter was also great in terms of generating strikes and quality fastball command kept the whole thing rolling. The Marlins rarely challenged him and he was cruising before a visit from the trainers in the fifth inning. He’d finish that frame, but didn’t come out for the sixth despite being at just 73 pitches. After the game, he mentioned dealing with a forearm cramp and that the team felt it was best to play it safe. Keep an eye on his status ahead of his next scheduled start against the Mets at home.
