Where things stand
Logan Henderson made his postseason debut as the Brewers' Game 2 starter against the Padres but struggled with his command, committing multiple fielding errors including a wild pitch, a throwing error on a pickoff attempt, and an overthrow on a sacrifice bunt that allowed four runs in the early innings. Despite Henderson's defensive lapses, the Brewers defeated the Dodgers in Game 2 of the NLCS to take a 2-0 series lead, with the team's offense overcoming the early miscues. Henderson was preserved as a prospect during the trade deadline when the Brewers opted not to pursue star pitcher Tarik Skubal, instead building depth through multiple role-player acquisitions that paid dividends during October.

Logan Henderson coverage
Brewers' dominant NLCS victory over Dodgers vindicates Matt Arnold’s trade deadline strategy
The Milwaukee Brewers swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS, validating general manager Matt Arnold's trade deadline approach of acquiring multiple role players rather than pursuing a single star pitcher like Tarik Skubal, whom the Dodgers had acquired. Brewers deadline acquisitions JoJo Romero and Antonio Senzatela made significant bullpen contributions during October, though some additions like Dustin May and Lance McCullers underperformed. By avoiding the Skubal trade, Arnold preserved prospects Logan Henderson and Luis Peña, protecting the franchise's long-term future while still positioning Milwaukee to compete immediately. The strategy reflects the Brewers' organizational philosophy of sustained competitiveness rather than short-term all-in approaches.
Reviewing the Brew3 winners and 3 losers from Brewers' first two wins in NLCS rematch with Dodgers
The Milwaukee Brewers hold a 2-0 series lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS after winning Games 1 and 2 in contrasting fashions. The Brewers won Game 1 by a score of 2-1 behind three double plays and capitalized on mistakes from Dodgers pitcher Tarik Skubal and the bullpen, while Game 2 saw them score seven runs against Yoshinobu Yamamoto and seven relievers despite two fielding errors from starter Logan Henderson. The Brewers' bullpen has been dominant through the first two games, allowing no runs in 9.2 innings of relief while giving up just two hits, with reliever Aaron Ashby earning a five-out save in Game 2 after pitching in Game 1 the previous day. The series continues in Los Angeles for Game 3.
Reviewing the BrewWilliam Contreras' continued postseason excellence helps Brewers overcome early errors in NLCS Game 2 win
The Brewers defeated the Dodgers in Game 2 of the NLCS to take a 2-0 series lead, though Milwaukee's defense struggled early with multiple errors by pitcher Logan Henderson. Henderson committed a wild pitch in the first inning, a throwing error on a pickoff attempt in the third, and an overthrow on a sacrifice bunt in the fifth, allowing the Dodgers to score four runs. William Contreras provided the offensive spark, collecting an RBI single in the first inning on an unusually low pitch and driving in additional runs in the fifth to help the Brewers overcome their defensive lapses and secure a three-run victory.
Reviewing the BrewNLCS Game 2 Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (1-0) vs Los Angeles Dodgers (0-1)
The Brewers seek a 2-0 series lead in Game 2 of the NLCS, a milestone they've never achieved in franchise history despite four previous LCS opportunities. Logan Henderson, a 24-year-old rookie, starts for Milwaukee against Dodgers ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who has dominated the Brewers this season and carries a 2.14 ERA across 11 postseason appearances. Manager Pat Murphy made several lineup adjustments, bringing back Christian Yelich and Sal Frelick to face the right-handed Yamamoto, while the Dodgers swapped Will Smith and Teoscar Hernandez in the batting order and inserted Tommy Edman at second base. The Brewers' bullpen has been heavily taxed early in the postseason, and an off day Tuesday provides some relief, though Milwaukee's hitters will face a significant challenge against one of baseball's most effective pitchers.
Brew Crew Ball3 reasons to believe this year's Brewers-Dodgers NLCS matchup will end differently than last year's
The Brewers face the Dodgers in the NLCS for the second consecutive year after defeating the Padres in the NLDS. Last year Milwaukee was swept in four games while scoring just four total runs, but this year their pitching staff is significantly stronger, led by NL Cy Young front-runner Jacob Misiorowski, who had the best single-season performance by a Brewers pitcher in franchise history. The rotation is also deeper than last year, with rookie Logan Henderson, Dustin May, and Robert Gasser providing additional options beyond Misiorowski, along with arms like Shane Drohan and Kyle Harrison available for the series.
Reviewing the BrewBrewers NLDS Game 2 notes: Logan Henderson rematch, Michael King matchup, bullpen availability
The Brewers lead the Padres 1-0 in the NLDS after winning Game 1 on Saturday, with Game 2 scheduled for Sunday afternoon in Milwaukee. Logan Henderson will start for the Brewers, looking to improve on his mid-August outing against the same Padres lineup when he allowed three earned runs over 6.1 innings before surrendering a two-run homer to Jackson Merrill in a loss. Henderson said he plans to review his scouting reports and film from that previous matchup as he prepares for the rematch. The Padres set a postseason record by fouling off 30 pitches against Jacob Misiorowski in the first four innings of Game 1.
Reviewing the BrewNLDS Game 2 Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (1-0) vs San Diego Padres (0-1)
The Brewers aim to take a 2-0 series lead against the Padres in Game 2, with right-hander Logan Henderson making his postseason debut against Padres ace Michael King, who allowed just one hit across seven innings in his Wild Card start. Milwaukee's offense, led by Jackson Chourio batting leadoff, will attempt to disrupt King's command after the Brewers used five relievers to cover the final five innings in Game 1. The Brewers will need Henderson to provide extended length on the mound, and the game will be played with the roof open under clear skies. Manager Pat Murphy has also named Dustin May as the Game 3 starter in San Diego.
Brew Crew BallBrewers announce 2026 NLDS roster complete with stacked pitching staff
The Milwaukee Brewers announced their 2026 NLDS roster with 13 pitchers and 13 position players, departing from the typical 12-pitcher format most teams use for best-of-five series. This decision allowed the Brewers to include both Kyle Harrison and Dustin May on the roster while forgoing a third catcher. Jacob Misiorowski and Logan Henderson are scheduled to start Games 1 and 2, with the Game 3 starter still uncertain, making the extra pitching depth potentially valuable for the series against the San Diego Padres.
Reviewing the Brew2026 MLB Division Series Preview
The 2026 MLB Division Series begin Saturday with four matchups: the Brewers hosting the Padres in the NL, the Dodgers facing the Braves in the NL, and the Rays playing the Yankees and the Guardians taking on the White Sox in the AL. The Rays finished with the best home record in baseball at 55-26, while the Yankees advanced by defeating the Red Sox 9-0 and 9-2 in the Wild Card Series but have already used key pitchers Cam Schlittler and Max Fried. The Brewers feature a balanced roster with strong starting pitchers Jacob Misiorowski and Logan Henderson, while the Dodgers boast top-five rankings in both offense and pitching despite having an aging roster with several players in their 30s.
Brew Crew BallHow Brewers starters Jacob Misiorowski and Logan Henderson fared against the Padres this year
Jacob Misiorowski will start Game 1 for the Brewers against the Padres, while rookie Logan Henderson is slated for Game 2, though manager Pat Murphy indicated the latter assignment could change. During the regular season, Misiorowski pitched seven scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts against San Diego on May 13, allowing just four hits including two singles to Fernando Tatis Jr. Henderson also performed well in his regular season start against the Padres, though specific details of that outing were not provided in the article. The Brewers finished the regular season 2-4 against San Diego despite strong performances from both starters.
Reviewing the BrewBrewers to face red-hot Padres in NLDS after Cubs suffer sweep in San Diego
The top-seeded Brewers will face the San Diego Padres in the NLDS after the Padres swept the Cubs in the Wild Card Series, marking the first playoff matchup between these franchises. Both teams enter the series on hot streaks, each posting 18-6 records during September, though the Brewers finished their regular season with a franchise-record 103 wins. The Padres' sweep was powered by strong pitching from Michael King and Nick Pivetta, who limited the Cubs' top-ranked offense to just one run across 10.1 innings, combined with early offensive explosions in both games. The Padres will face a stiffer pitching challenge in the NLDS against the Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski and Logan Henderson, but their elite bullpen will be well-rested heading into Game 1 on Saturday.
Reviewing the BrewPat Murphy's Game 2 starter caveat shouldn't come as a surprise to Brewers fans
Manager Pat Murphy confirmed that Cy Young frontrunner Jacob Misiorowski will start Game 1 of the Brewers' postseason opener on October 3, with rookie Logan Henderson expected to start Game 2 on October 4. However, Murphy noted the Game 2 assignment remains "subject to change," a caveat consistent with his history of keeping playoff pitching plans flexible and using strategic misdirection. Henderson emerged as Milwaukee's second starter during the second half of the season with a 1.93 ERA over his final seven starts, making him the clear choice for Game 2, though Murphy's willingness to deviate from expectations was demonstrated last year when he delayed Quinn Priester's first playoff start to Game 3.
Reviewing the Brew2026 Brewers Minor League Season Recap
The Brewers' minor league season concluded with the Biloxi Shuckers' loss in the Southern League Championship Series. Logan Henderson emerged as a standout pitcher, maintaining a 0.844 WHIP through 23 starts without allowing more than three runs in any outing, a record he shares with Zac Gallen. Luis Lara and Cooper Pratt both earned major league call-ups and contract extensions, with Lara contributing 1.1 bWAR defensively in right field and Pratt hitting .281 with 1.6 bWAR as a shortstop prospect. In Triple-A, Luke Adams posted an over-.900 OPS with 16 home runs, while pitcher Coleman Crow impressed in limited time with Milwaukee and led Nashville starters in ERA and innings pitched.
Brew Crew BallBrewers strike early against Phillies, earn 99th win
The Brewers defeated the Phillies 4-1 to earn their 99th win of the season. Milwaukee scored four runs in the first three innings, with Brice Turang hitting a solo home run in the first and Christian Yelich adding a two-run shot in the second, while William Contreras drove in two more runs in the third.

MLB.com BrewersGame Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (98-59) @ Philadelphia Phillies (87-70)
The Brewers enter their second game against Philadelphia needing two more wins to reach 100 victories for the first time in franchise history while maintaining their lead over the Dodgers for the best record in baseball. Logan Henderson will start for Milwaukee, coming off a rough outing against Pittsburgh where he allowed three runs in five innings, though he struck out eight batters and carries a 2.51 ERA on the season. Aaron Nola takes the mound for the Phillies and has historically performed well against the Brewers with a 3.22 career ERA in 16 previous starts. The Brewers made a roster move before the game, optioning Colton Gordon to Triple-A Nashville and selecting Lyon Richardson's contract, while keeping most of their lineup intact from the previous day.
Brew Crew BallBrewers Select Lyon Richardson
The Brewers selected right-hander Lyon Richardson's contract from their minor league system ahead of their game against the Phillies, optioning left-hander Colton Gordon to Double-A in the corresponding move. Richardson, 26, has bounced between the Brewers and free agency multiple times this season after being designated for assignment by Cincinnati in June. At Triple-A Nashville, he posted a 4.23 ERA over 22 appearances with strong strikeout numbers but a 13.2% walk rate. The Brewers appear positioned to use Richardson as a multi-inning reliever behind starter Logan Henderson, similar to how Gordon was deployed in his recent appearance.
MLB Trade RumorsBrewers' consistency in 2026 is a reason to believe this year is different
The 2026 Brewers have 98 wins with six games remaining and are on pace to become the first franchise team to reach 100 wins, which would give them a 72% chance at the NL's top seed. Unlike last year's team that relied on long winning streaks, this year's success stems from consistent play throughout the season, with their longest streak being just five games. The Brewers also have a healthier bullpen and more reliable starting pitchers than last season, including Jacob Misiorowski, Logan Henderson, Dustin May, and Robert Gasser. If Milwaukee reaches 100 wins, they could become the first team in MLB history to do so without a six-game winning streak.
Reviewing the BrewCooper Pratt's perfect description of team's mentality proves Brewers' rookie is ready for postseason
The Milwaukee Brewers will rely on five rookies in key postseason roles: Logan Henderson as the No. 2 starter, Robert Gasser potentially starting Game 3, Shane Drohan as a versatile reliever, Luis Lara in right field, and Cooper Pratt at shortstop. After the Brewers' 98th win, Pratt demonstrated maturity beyond his years when he credited the team's success to strong clubhouse chemistry, individual accountability, and attention to detail. His comments reflected growth following a mid-August benching by manager Pat Murphy for failing to execute fundamentals, suggesting the rookie has internalized the lessons from that disciplinary moment.
Reviewing the Brew5 rookies set to have important roles on Brewers' 2026 postseason roster
The Milwaukee Brewers have a history of relying on rookies during their playoff runs, with recent examples including Jackson Chourio's two-homer performance in the 2024 Wild Card Series and Jacob Misiorowski's 12 innings of relief last season. Five rookies are expected to play important roles in the 2026 postseason, including pitcher Logan Henderson, who has allowed three or fewer earned runs in 22 consecutive outings and is positioned to be the team's No. 2 starter. Outfielder Cooper Pratt has impressed since his debut three months ago with a .276 batting average and has reached base safely in 13 of his last 16 games.
