4:15pm: Per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com<\/a>, manager Pat Murphy said Crow won\u2019t start until Friday, with the Brewers likely deploying some kind of bullpen game on Wednesday before the off-day.<\/p>\n

4:02pm: The Brewers announced that right-hander Logan Henderson<\/a> has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a low back strain, retroactive to May 23rd. Fellow righty Coleman Crow<\/a> has been recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear how serious this back issue is for Henderson. Even if it\u2019s ultimately a brief stint on the IL, it once again prevents Henderson from getting an extended stretch of big league starts. He has posted good numbers when given the chance but injuries and roster considerations have gotten in his way.<\/p>\n

Henderson made four really strong starts in April and May of last year. Unfortunately, the Brewers had enough veteran rotation options that Henderson was sent to the minors for a few months. He returned in August and made one more start before elbow inflammation put him on the IL for the rest of the year. Here in 2026, he started the season once again buried on the depth chart. Injuries to Quinn Priester<\/a> and Brandon Woodruff<\/a> opened a chance for him but now Henderson is joining those two on the IL.<\/p>\n

On the whole, Henderson has made ten big league starts with great numbers. He has a 2.23 ERA, a 33.3% strikeout rate and 7.4% walk rate. Unfortunately, due to the injuries and the crowded rotation mix, those ten starts have been scattered across a span of more than a year. The rotation is temporarily a bit shorthanded but Henderson won\u2019t be able to take advantage of that now that he\u2019s dealing with this back issue.<\/p>\n

As for the Brewers, they will have to work around those injuries for a bit. Kyle Harrison<\/a> is taking the ball tonight, with Crow perhaps following him on Wednesday. The club is off on Thursday, with Brandon Sproat<\/a> and Jacob Misiorowski<\/a> lined up for Friday and Saturday. Due to the off-day, they could perhaps go back to Harrison on normal rest on Sunday but won\u2019t be able to get by with just four starters for long. Friday kicks off a stretch of 13 days in a row with a scheduled game.<\/p>\n

Priester and Woodruff will be back in the mix at some point. Priester, who was been battling a nerve issue in his shoulder, is on a rehab assignment. He got up to three innings last time and will make his next appearance tomorrow, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel<\/a>. Woodruff, who has been shelved since the beginning of the month due to shoulder inflammation, is scheduled for a four-inning live batting practice session next week. Until Priester, Woodruff or Henderson get back, Milwaukee might be improvising a bit.<\/p>\n

Robert Gasser<\/a> is on the 40-man roster but he was optioned on May 24th. When a pitcher is optioned, he can\u2019t be recalled for 15 days unless replacing a player going on the IL. Thomas Pannone<\/a> has a 3.04 ERA in Triple-A this year but isn\u2019t currently on the 40-man roster. Garrett Stallings<\/a> is another non-roster option. He has a 3.34 Triple-A ERA in a swing role this year, though his most recent outing saw him pitch two innings out of the bullpen.<\/p>\n

Turning to options already on the active roster, Chad Patrick<\/a> was in the rotation earlier this year but got moved to the bullpen. He tossed a combined 1 2\/3 innings over his past two appearances but logged four innings as recently as May 16th. Shane Drohan<\/a> has also been in a multi-inning role, logging three frames on Sunday. Aaron Ashby<\/a>, DL Hall<\/a>, Carlos Rodriguez<\/a> and Jake Woodford<\/a> have been making a lot of appearances of in the range of two innings and could potentially provide some bulk.<\/p>\n
