Good news for a 2026 sleeper. The Brewers stand to lose Brandon Woodruff and Jose Quintana in free agency and could shop Freddy Peralta, so they’re rotation might look quite different next year. Henderson won’t necessarily have a spot initially, but he’ll be pretty interesting when his opportunity comes.

If Henderson returns during the regular season, it’d probably just be for the final weekend. He might be able to help the Brewers in short stints in October.

It clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Erick Fedde, and it confirms that Henderson won’t pitch again in 2026 with inflammation in his right elbow. The 23-year-old is one of the better prospects in the Milwaukee system, and he should be a part of the Brew Crew’s staff if he’s healthy enough to pitch in 2026.

It’s not known when Henderson experienced the injury, but it’ll keep him out of action for at least two weeks and likely longer. The 23-year-old’s roster and rotation spot will be taken by Tobias Myers, with Myers recalled and starting Saturday’s game against the Mets.

Henderson was called up on Sunday when Jacob Misiorowski (tibia) was put on the IL. Henderson threw 51 of his 76 pitches for strikes while posting a 23 percent whiff rate and 26 percent CSW. As has been the case in his 25 1/3 MLB innings this season, Henderson located his four-seam fastball well and then leaned on his changeup for whiffs. It didn’t work quite as well today, but it was a solid start overall. He’s lined up to face the Mets next weekend, but that could be his last start in the big leagues if Misiorowski is ready to return as quickly as he expects.

Henderson draws the starting assignment for Sunday’s game against the Nationals with fellow rookie Jacob Misiorowski hitting the injured list with a tibia contusion. The 23-year-old pitching prospect has excelled in the big leagues during a couple brief chances, compiling a microscopic 1.71 ERA and 29/6 K/BB ratio across 21 innings (four starts). He’s worthy of a pickup in all fantasy formats since he’ll likely stick around for at least a couple turns in Milwaukee’s rotation over the next few weeks.

The moves makes room for DL Hall on the roster. Going 3-0 with a 1.71 ERA and a 29/6 K/BB in four starts wasn’t enough to keep Henderson on the Brewers’ roster with both Brandon Woodruff and Jose Quintana also soon coming off the injured list. He’ll be worth a try in mixed leagues when he gets another shot.

Henderson struck out six and walked two, and left with a 3-1 lead before the bullpen let him down. The 23-year-old posted a 20 percent whiff rate and 26 percent CSW, which is even more impressive when you consider that his changeup was ineffective on the day, getting just two whiffs on 17 swings and registering a 14 percent CSW. Henderson has pitched well enough to keep his spot in the Brewers’ rotation, but with all of Aaron Civale, Brandon Woodruff, and Jose Quintana nearing returns from the IL, it’s hard to see Henderson remaining in the rotation for too much longer. If he does get booted, he will certainly be back up at some point this summer.

Henderson scattered just two hits — both singles — and two walks on the evening. He piled up a career-high 20 swings and misses on 90 pitches on the evening, with nine of those coming on his fastball which averaged 93.3 mph. Henderson also got eight whiffs on his changeup while registering a CSW of 31 percent. The 23-year-old right-hander has exceeded all expectations through his first three starts with the Brewers, going 3-0 with a 1.69 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and a 23/4 K/BB ratio across 16 innings. Despite the fact that reinforcements are coming soon to the Brewers’ rotation, it’s going to be hard for them to justify not keeping Henderson around when he’s throwing the ball this well. His next test should come on Sunday against the Pirates in Pittsburgh.

Henderson was brilliant on Sunday in his big-league debut, recording nine strikeouts and allowing one run over six innings to pick up a win over the Athletics. The 23-year-old top pitching prospect’s dynamic changeup looks like a legitimate weapon at the highest level, but he’s probably going to have to work on a third pitch to pair with his fastball/changeup combo to achieve sustained success at the highest level. He’s likely to get another opportunity in Milwaukee’s rotation at some point in the coming weeks, which makes him a worthwhile stash in deeper mixed leagues.

Henderson was available out of the pen when the Brewers called him up Tuesday, but since he was never needed, the team opted to give him the start over Tyler Alexander today with great results. Using his fastball and changeup the vast majority of the time, he finished with 13 whiffs and a 29 percent CSW. Henderson isn’t viewed a big upside guy, but the changeup is strong and he’s not going to walk many. He should be able to help the Brewers, even if he’s not a mixed-league guy. Still, with Tobias Myers about to return from the IL, it’s possible he’ll head back to Triple-A now.

It’s not a surprise to see Henderson in the majors, but there had been nothing in recent days to suggest he was about to be added. That suggests this might be a brief stay as someone who can immediately provide innings if needed. Henderson, 23, is one of the Brewers’ top prospects, and there’s a good chance he’ll be a part of the rotation at some point this summer. Maybe it will even happen now, but we’ll see. He had a 3.21 ERA and a 24/10 K/BB over 14 innings in three starts for Nashville.
