Set to join big club The Nationals are expected to call up Henry from Triple-A Rochester, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Henry was able to participate in spring training after missing the second half of the 2024 season due to a lat injury. He transitioned to the bullpen for the 2025 campaign and has allowed one hit and three walks while striking out four across two scoreless innings in Triple-A. Once called up, Henry will have the opportunity to make his major-league debut out of the Nationals' bullpen, possibly as soon as Sunday's series finale against the Marlins.

Set to join big club The Nationals are expected to call up Henry from Triple-A Rochester on Sunday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Impact After missing much of the 2024 season due to a lat strain, Henry was medically cleared in advance of spring training and transitioned to a relief role as the Nationals looked to keep the oft-injured hurler healthy. He's now on the cusp of making his big-league debut after he tossed a pair of scoreless innings for Rochester while striking out four and giving up one hit and three walks. Expect Henry to be deployed in middle relief or as a long man out of the bullpen for Washington.

Sent to Triple-A The Nationals optioned Henry to Triple-A Rochester on Friday.

Impact The right-hander missed the entire second half of the 2024 campaign due to a lat injury and has transitioned to long relief for 2025. Henry made five starts for Double-A Harrisburg last year prior to the injury and had ad 3.95 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 13:9 K:BB across 13.2 innings.

Healthy for spring training Henry (lat) has made two Grapefruit League appearances this spring, tossing three scoreless innings and scattering three hits and no walks while striking out seven.

Impact The 25-year-old righty didn't pitch in the minors after June 26 last season due to a lat strain. Henry has worked as a starter for most of his minor-league career, but he told Andrew Golden of The Washington Post that he'll be making a move to long relief in 2025 as the Nationals aim to keep him healthy. Henry possesses a spot on the Nationals' 40-man roster but is most likely to open the campaign at Triple-A Rochester or Double-A Harrisburg, despite his strong showing so far during spring training.

Activated off minor-league IL Henry (shoulder) was activated from the minor-league injured list Tuesday, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Henry will join the starting rotation at Double-A Harrisburg after completing his rehabilitation from August 2022 thoracic outlet syndrome surgery. The 23-year-old did a four-start rehab run with Low-A Fredericksburg and High-A Wilmington and posted an encouraging 1.20 ERA and 16:3 K:BB over 15 innings. He should eventually rise back to Triple-A Rochester.

Level jump on rehab Henry (shoulder) had his rehab assignment transferred Tuesday to High-A Wilmington, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Henry racked up 11 strikeouts over seven scoreless innings during his two-start stay with Single-A Fredericksburg, the latest of those outings coming Sunday. His third rehab start, and first with Wilmington, lines up for this weekend. The talented 23-year-old is on the road back from thoracic outlet surgery and should eventually settle into the regular rotation at Triple-A Rochester.

Successful first rehab start Henry (shoulder) struck out five over three scoreless innings in his first rehab start for Single-A Fredericksburg on Tuesday.

Impact The 23-year-old righty has success under his belt at Double-A in 2022 and reached as high as Triple-A, so he should be expected to carve up a Single-A lineup. Nonetheless, thoracic outlet syndrome can ruin careers, so it's encouraging that his recovery has gone well thus far. He should head to the Triple-A Rochester rotation once he completes his rehab assignment in a week or two.
