Logan Henderson DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Logan Henderson is expected to be optioned to Triple-A Nashville to make room for right-handed reliever Craig Yoho on the active major-league roster this week. The Brewers' starting rotation didn't have imminent room for Henderson despite his excellent debut on Sunday now that right-hander Tobias Myers (oblique) is returning from the injured list on Thursday. The 23-year-old is the team's No. 12 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and he thoroughly impressed against the Athletics on Sunday, allowing one run in six innings with nine strikeouts for a win in his debut. Henderson will head back to the farm for now, but after his impressive debut over the weekend, he should be in play as one of the top starting considerations if the Brewers have another need this season. The former fourth-rounder doesn't pass the eye test, but his numbers say otherwise.

Milwaukee Brewers pitching prospect Logan Henderson tossed six innings of one-run ball in his MLB debut on Sunday afternoon. In this outing against the Athletics, Henderson allowed just three hits, one walk, and struck out nine batters, en route to picking up the victory. This was an impressive debut for the 23-year-old. His lone blemish came in the fifth inning when Seth Brown hit a solo blast. Henderson was given the call to the big leagues due to the numerous injuries in the Milwaukee rotation. Earlier in the season, he logged 14 innings at Triple-A to the tune of a 3.21 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP. During this stint, he tallied 24 punchouts with just 10 walks. Given his impressive debut, fantasy managers should expect the former fourth-round pick to earn at least another turn in the rotation. He is worth adding in all 12-team formats.

The Milwaukee Brewers promoted pitching prospect Logan Henderson to the major league roster. In a corresponding move, the Brewers optioned right-handed pitcher Elvin Rodriguez to Triple-A Nashville. After allowing five runs in his season debut, Henderson has flipped the script at Triple-A and is being rewarded with a promotion. Over his last two outings, Henderson has tossed back-to-back five-inning shutouts. During this stretch, he has allowed just three hits and seven walks. He has struck out 16 batters. Due to the numerous injuries in the Milwaukee rotation, fantasy managers should expect the right-hander to see opportunities in the rotation. Currently, Quinn Priester and Jose Quintana are set to start the final two games of their series against the Tigers, which could set Henderson up for his big league debut over the weekend, against the Athletics.
