Logan Henderson Heading Back To Triple-A

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.

Brewers Calling Up Craig Yoho

Sources told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Curt Hogg that the Milwaukee Brewers are recalling pitching prospect Craig Yoho from Triple-A Nashville on Monday. Yoho has been one of the nastiest pitchers in the minors and will now be joining Milwaukee's bullpen after allowing just an unearned run on five hits while walking three, saving one game and striking out nine in 9 2/3 innings for Nashville to begin the season. The 25-year-old right-hander was a former eighth-round selection out of Indiana University Bloomington, and although he may not be immediately thrust into high-leverage situations in his first taste of the big leagues, the Brewers are hoping he can settle down what has been one of the worst bullpens in the league early in the 2025 season. Yoho has a changeup that has basically been unhittable in the minors and should continue to generate plenty of swings and misses at the next level.

Christian Walker Getting A Day Off

Houston Astros first baseman Christian Walker is taking the day off for Monday's series opener against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays at Daikin Park. Zach Dezenzo is starting at first base and is batting ninth against Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman. Although he did go deep over the weekend against the San Diego Padres, Walker could use a mental rest after going 3-for-26 in his last eight games. The 34-year-old veteran power hitter hasn't gotten off to the start he was hoping for in his first year in Houston, as he's currently slashing .156/.253/.260 with two home runs, four RBI and nine runs scored in 77 at-bats. Walker has provided consistent power numbers in recent seasons, so fantasy managers are expecting him to turn things around sooner than later. Dezenzo has never faced Gausman in his MLB career and will be a weak DFS target for Monday's action.

Mark Vientos Still Absent Against Phillies

New York Mets third baseman Mark Vientos (groin) remains out of the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies at Citi Field. Vientos will be missing his second straight game after leaving Saturday's game early against the St. Louis Cardinals with a groin injury. The good news is that Vientos was able to hit and take ground balls on Monday, so perhaps he'll be able to return for Tuesday's game in New York. After breaking out in 2024, the 25-year-old is enduring an early sophomore slump in 2025, as he's hitting .167 (12-for-72) with two homers, six RBI and 14 strikeouts in his first 20 games. He'll be given plenty of rope to try and bounce back, though, when he returns from his injury. Brett Baty is getting the start at the hot corner and is batting eighth against Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola on Monday. He's hitless in seven career at-bats against Nola.

Nick Lodolo Activated From Paternity List, Starting On Monday

The Cincinnati Reds announced on Monday that they activated left-hander Nick Lodolo from the paternity list and optioned right-hander Randy Wynne to Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move. Lodolo will make his return to the Reds after being away from the team for the last three days, and he'll be making his scheduled start in Monday's series opener on the road against the Miami Marlins. Fantasy managers will want to get the 27-year-old southpaw into their starting lineups in a plus matchup against the Fish. The former first-rounder will be making his fifth start of the 2025 campaign and will be looking to bounce back after giving up a season-high four earned runs in a no-decision to the Seattle Mariners his last time out on Tuesday, April 15. Lodolo has solid 2.31 ERA on the year with a 0.81 WHIP, 14 strikeouts and only two walks in 23 1/3 frames.
