The Brewers kept Logan Henderson instead of trading for Tarik Skubal at the deadline and then beat Skubal at Dodger Stadium, vindicating their decision and shaping the week’s narrative in Milwaukee’s favor.
Milwaukee placed right-hander Logan Henderson on the 15-day injured list with a low back strain retroactive to May 23 and recalled Coleman Crow from Triple-A Nashville to cover rotation duties as injuries to Priester and Woodruff mount, forcing the Brewers to improvise a crowded pitching staff while Henderson recovers; he owns a 2.23 ERA over 10 starts but time on the IL will delay any extended opportunity.
Brewers notes: Chourio’s 2026 debut is delayed after an ankle scare with a negative X-ray; doctors will monitor progress and may keep him in Triple-A longer. Andrew Vaughn is set to be activated from the 10-day IL after hamate surgery; his bat should boost Milwaukee. Jacob Misiorowski avoided a hamstring issue and could start next Wednesday if pain-free. With Brandon Woodruff on the IL and Quinn Priester dealing with a shoulder nerve issue, Logan Henderson delivered a solid six-inning, two-run start in his latest outing, possibly earning more big-league opportunities as Milwaukee tightens its rotation and innings.
