Brewers demote Logan Henderson despite his success as team anticipates return of other pitchers

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Despite being one of the best pitchers in the Milwaukee Brewers' injury-plagued rotation this season, Logan Henderson is headed for the minors.

The Brewers optioned Henderson to Triple-A Nashville while reinstating DL Hall from the 60-day injured list. The move came Monday prior to Milwaukee’s game against the Boston Red Sox in the afternoon.

Henderson has compiled a 3-0 record and a 1.71 ERA over his first four career starts this season. He became the first pitcher in franchise history to win his first three major league games and the first in the majors’ modern era to start his career with a win in three consecutive appearances while striking out seven or more batters in each game.
