Brewers Reinstate DL Hall, Option Logan Henderson

By Darragh McDonald | May 26, 2025 at 10:35am CDT

The Brewers announced that left-hander DL Hall has been reinstated from the 60-day injured list. They opened a 40-man roster spot last week when right-hander Joel Payamps was designated for assignment but are now back to an even 40. Righty Logan Henderson has been optioned to Triple-A Nashville as the corresponding active roster move.

Hall was diagnosed with a lat strain back in February. He was placed on the 60-day IL fairly quickly, getting put there in early March when the club signed Jose Quintana. That indicated the Brewers didn’t expect him to be available until late May but he has managed to get healthy right around that time frame. He started a rehab assignment earlier this month and was able to make four starts as part of that rehab.

The Milwaukee rotation has been in flux all year long. They came into the year knowing that Brandon Woodruff would need some more time to get fully healthy after his 2023 shoulder surgery. In addition to Hall’s injury, they also lost Aaron Civale, Nestor Cortes, Aaron Ashby and Quintana to the IL early on. That has led to pitchers like Henderson, Quinn Priester, Chad Patrick and others getting starts.

But the injury situation has been settling more recently. Civale and Ashby have come off the IL in the past week, though Ashby has joined the bullpen rather than the rotation. Hall is now back as well with Woodruff likely to be reinstated in the next week or two.

As the group gets a bit less snakebit, Henderson has been nudged out despite a strong start to his career. Through four starts, he has a 1.17 earned run average. He’s not going to maintain a 100% strand rate nor his .256 batting average on balls in play, but his 35.8% strikeout rate and 7.4% walk rate are both strong figures. He has fairly similar strikeout and walk numbers in his minor league work so he should get another rotation opportunity in the future.

For now, it’s possible Hall will get a shot to put a stretch of good outings together, something that he has been hard-pressed to do. The Brewers sent Corbin Burnes to the Orioles in February of 2024 for Joey Ortiz, Hall and a competitive balance round draft pick. The lefty dealt with a knee sprain last year, which limited his workload. He logged 43 big league innings and another 41 in the minors. As mentioned, a lat strain has been the culprit this year.

Though he was once a top prospect, he hasn’t been able to build a sizeable track record thanks to those injuries and the O’s largely using him in relief. He debuted back in 2022 but still has just 76 big league innings under his belt. Assuming Hall is taking a rotation spot, he will slot in next to Civale, Priester, Patrick and Freddy Peralta. If Woodruff is able to return soon, he’ll push someone else out of that group.

A few stars could align for the Brewers to trade some pitching this summer. They are currently 26-28 and 4.5 games back of a playoff spot. Even if they manage to gain some ground there, it wouldn’t be a shock for them to trade some of their veteran arms. Peralta is in the final guaranteed year of his deal, though with an affordable $8MM club option for 2026. Civale, Cortes, Quintana and Woodruff are all impending free agents and making decent money. Quintana and Woodruff have mutual options for 2026 but those are almost never picked up.

Perhaps the Brewers could make some of those pitchers available, especially since they have some strong replacements on hand. In addition to Henderson now being in Nashville, the Brewers have Tobias Myers and Jacob Misiorowski there as well. It may lead to a situation where the club is able to flip a veteran or two, adding talent elsewhere while opening opportunities for younger and more controllable pitchers.

      He has the options, his next start is skipped anyways, the bullpen is stretched past their max, and hes at 51 innings already with a previous max of 81. He will be back, this is just roster management.

      Maybe, but keep in mind the most innings Henderson has thrown as a pro is 81. They will more than likely try to limit his innings this year anyway. Plus this gives him an opportunity to develop a third pitch. To his credit he was able to pitch very well with only two, but this is the big leagues and it’s only a matter of time before the other teams catch up with him.

      Henderson is getting optioned because they will need him later in the year and they’re trying to save his arm as he has serious injury history…. Miz is still getting that walk rate under control and the crew need to keep him as a starter, they already have Megill/Uribe as tall power righties out of the pen, bringing him up as a reliever now most likely only would serve to stunt his development as a starter, they’re not trying to repeat what they did with Hader and stunt his pitching development just so they can have redundancy in the bullpen…. Also yoho came up and got hammered a few times if I’m not mistaken, maybe they know more than you do and he’s just not ready yet….

    Why are they sending Henderson down? He’s about the only SP that has done anything this year. They could at least move him to the bullpen, which is full of dregs that can’t pitch their way out of a paper bag

    Why would a team swap out a good player for a worse one? Oh yeah, service time manipulation. If they really cared about winning, they wouldn’t make this move.

      No one is worried about manipulating service time for a number 4/5 pitcher. He was the most optionable starter and they would rather he continue to develop as a starter and not be wasted in the bullpen. Stop trying to create conspiracies that do not exist

        A 23 year old with a 35.8% strikeout rate is a number 4/5 pitcher??? Okay. Even if you’re committed to keeping Civale, Hall, & Patrick in the rotation over him, he would still be helpful in the bullpen. And let’s not act like service time manipulation is a conspiracy. There’s a reason why Logan Henderson and Bubba Chandler are in AAA while Tyler Alexander and Tanner Rainey get to keep their jobs with ERAs over 5.

          I mean to be fair, Henderson isn’t even ranked as a top ten prospect in the Brewers’ system by MLB Pipeline, and is only ranked 20th by Baseball America. But he has done exceptionally well and there are definitley other players the Brewers probably could have chosen from. Also, service time or not, I don’t think Tanner Rainey would have any barring on whether or not Bubba Chandler would get promoted.

          I was more so talking about players deserving of roster spots. If teams weren’t manipulating service time, Rainey would never get a roster spot over Chandler. The Pirates best roster would have Chandler in the rotation which would kick Falter or Burrows to the bullpen, which would send Rainey to the waiver wire.

        Sure they would. Their best opportunity to make some noise in the postseason appears to be 2027, so it would make sense to add a few studs from trades before then. Yelich should be included as a trade candidate despite his no-trade clause, which he could waive. The Brewers of Chourio, Quero, Made, Pratt, Pena, Wilken and Boeve will be a lot better than this light-hitting bunch.

          Nobody is going to want Yelich and hos contract, if he is even willing to waive his NTC.

          The same reasons you would like to see him traded are the same reasons other teams won’t want him.

      Granted I’m not in charge, but I would trade Woodie, Civale and Peralta sooner rather than later. Mini-reset for ’26 and beyond. Roll with DL, Ashby, Priester, et al. and the younguns in the rotation for the rest of ’25.

        Until Ashby and Hall can show they can stay healthy you don’t trade woody or Peralta. Civale, sure. This last stretch of May and most of June will tell what this team is made of. Bunch of high quality teams coming up and we’ll see where they sit rolling into July

    Activate a guy who has been awful when he’s healthy and send down maybe the most consistent starting pitcher on the team… in some parallel universe this is a wise move… certainly not this one though.

    This is just stupid you get rid of Alexander make Hall a 1 , 2 punch with Megil and keep Henderson in rotation Sometime in June your rotation should be Peralta, Woodruff, Miz, Henderson, Patrick. Bullpen is Koenig, Ashby, Hall, Yoho, Megill, Uribe, Anderson, Mears or maybe Preister ( only goes 4 innings anyways)

    For a guy who was touted as the next Hader when he came over in the Burnes trade, they sure haven’t tried using Hall as such. Here I was hoping after they put Ashby in the pen (where he should have been all along), they’d do the same with Hall instead of continuing the repeatedly failed starter experiment. Sigh.

      Hall is been so injured and they first tried to put him in the rotation to see if he could handle that. They need to just put him in one role (bullpen) and let him thrive.

    Hall is absolutely going to the pen. the bullpen has been beat to hell tha last week and a half, so theyre going to use him as a pen arm, then probably option Zastyrzyzyzyz once we get to needing another starter (Woodruff or Quintana). with the off day coming Thursday, they have time to get him one final rehab start.

    I am guessing that because he pitched yesterday he isn’t needed for 4-5 more days so they activated DL Hall as his injury time ran out plus they needed a fresh arm. Him or someone else will help the bull pen.

    Also assume he comes back as soon as they figure out who is going to be the starters and who is ready to be activated off DL
    Lots of juggling going to happen soon. Priester, Rodriguez Patrick going back down. Logan may not even miss a start

      Most of the Brewers fans in here are not thinking this through. Your explanation, plus the fact that Henderson probably only has 60 innings left in his arm this year, I think makes this an easy decision.

        They might prep him for middle relief for the rest of year. Similar to what they did with other young pitchers before they let them throw 200+ innings per year. That way they get more games out of him at 2 innings per stint instead of 10-12 more games before they shut him down

        That will depend on the crew get back the other veteran starters and/or not trading one.But they don’t want to burn out his arm, same thing with Miz.

    I’m a total homer for what the Crew have going…. Their draft/develop is finally more and more paying off and looks like Tyler Black may finally be healthy/out of his funk…. This team is in such a good position to both compete now and build into the future, this article didn’t even mention Gasser if I’m not mistaken, also how well Chad Patrick has been pitching, whew…. This team had the sixth best scoring offense in baseball last year so if they can get anything close to average/a lil bit better on offense (which isn’t crazy to assume they can do considering they were a top scoring offense last year) well with all this pitching…. My goodness, despite how the season has started, to even be around .500 is acceptable and still in a great position to both compete and continue turning this roster over to younger controllable and more PRODUCTIVE players!

    I think the Brewers should go with 8 starters. Two of the young arms for each start (2 games total), 4-5 innings each, four regular starters going as long as they can. Then they only need 4-5 short relievers.
