Outlook Logan Henderson
Historic Start Paused by Injury; Henderson Nears July Return
Henderson continues to recover from a lower back strain that required an injection earlier this month. Before landing on the shelf, the right-hander made MLB history with 10 consecutive starts allowing two or fewer runs. He is currently off the active rotation depth chart while the first-place Brewers—who sit atop the NL Central with a 49-29 record—target an early July return date.
His early success is backed by a dominant 11.74 K/9 and a 1.04 WHIP, though our models project a slight rise toward a 3.86 ERA for the remainder of the season. Given his career 5.00 K/BB ratio, the control is advanced for a 24-year-old, suggesting his breakout is more than just a small-sample fluke and his ratios should remain an asset.
With no starts scheduled for the remaining weekend series against the Cubs at home, Henderson will provide no fantasy production this week. Our projections confirm he will remain sidelined through the June 28th series finale while Brandon Woodruff and Kyle Harrison handle the weekend rotation. Keep him stashed in all formats, but he belongs on the bench for now. Verdict: Sit.

Outlook Blake Snell
Snell progressing through throwing program with eyes on July return
Blake Snell remains sidelined on the 60-day injured list following a late-May procedure to remove loose bodies from his left elbow. The veteran left-hander has recently initiated a throwing progression, a vital step toward rejoining a first-place Dodgers club that currently holds a 52-29 record. His absence has forced the rotation to lean on younger depth, but his progress suggests he is on track for a mid-summer return.
While his only start this season resulted in a bloated 12.00 ERA over just three innings, our data suggests significant positive regression is coming. Our models project Snell to settle in with a 3.02 ERA and nearly 155 strikeouts once he builds back his stamina. Given his career history of elite strikeout production and a strong WHIP over the last two seasons, his upside remains far too high to consider dropping in most formats.
With the Dodgers set to visit San Diego this weekend, Snell will remain inactive as he continues his ramp-up process. He is eligible for activation on July 9, provided he avoids any setbacks during his upcoming mound sessions and eventual minor-league rehab assignment. Until he is cleared for game action and re-enters the starting rotation, fantasy managers must keep him on the bench. Weekly Verdict: Sit.
