When Is Logan Henderson Getting Called Up? Fantasy Baseball Prospect Outlook (Week 12 Update)

When is Logan Henderson getting called up? Will Henderson get promoted in June 2025? Read about this top fantasy baseball prospect outlook heading into Week 12.

The Milwaukee Brewers needed some rotation help at the beginning of the season. They had three different pitchers on the injured list (Brandon Woodruff, Nestor Cortes, and Aaron Civale) and needed someone to fill innings until the rotation got healthier. That's when the Brewers decided to call up their No. 12 prospect in the middle of April. 

Logan Henderson made a spot start on April 20 before being sent back down following that outing. However, he was called upon once again a few weeks later. Even after looking strong in three straight starts in his second major league stint, the Brewers demoted him to Triple-A on May 26. 

So, when are the Brewers going to call up Henderson again? Can we expect him to be promoted in the next few weeks? Let's dive in and find out.

Logan Henderson Prospect Update for Fantasy Baseball

Henderson made a strong first impression in the big leagues in that spot start on April 20. He threw six innings of one-run ball with nine strikeouts against the Athletics. Although he was optioned to Triple-A the next day, he got another opportunity when Jose Quintana landed on the 15-day IL in the middle of May. 

Henderson essentially replaced Quintana in Milwaukee's rotation and continued to show his potential on the mound. He allowed just three earned runs across 15 innings in his next three outings from May 14 to May 25, including five shutout innings with seven strikeouts against the Baltimore Orioles in his third career start.

Despite those results, the Brewers made the tough decision to send Henderson back down. Quintana was set to return in the coming days, and there just wasn't anywhere for the rookie to fit in the rotation. This was definitely not an easy choice for Milwaukee, considering the right-hander had a 1.71 ERA and 29 strikeouts across his first 21 innings. 

Logan Henderson Outlook for Fantasy Baseball

Since being optioned on May 26, Henderson has not gotten another shot in the majors. He remains with Triple-A Nashville and has allowed one earned run or fewer in three of his four starts since returning to the minors. It might also be some time until we see the 23-year-old back with the major league club.

The Brewers' rotation has been one of the best in the league this season. Freddy Peralta has a 2.76 ERA, Chad Patrick has allowed two runs or fewer in five of his last eight starts, Quinn Priester has a 2.29 ERA since May 13, Quintana continues to do his best to keep Milwaukee in games, and top pitching prospect Jacob Misiorowski could be here to stay. 

Therefore, it could be weeks until we see Henderson back in the big leagues. That makes the right-hander only a stash in deeper leagues right now. There are a few better pitching prospects to stash at this point in the season, including Bubba Chandler, Andrew Painter, and Chase Burns.
