Will undergo TJ surgery Henry (elbow) is scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

Impact Henry was placed on Triple-A Reno's 7-day injured list June 12 due to left elbow discomfort, and after seeking multiple opinions, Tommy John surgery was elected as the best path moving forward for the 27-year-old southpaw. Henry will miss the rest of the 2025 season, and given the procedure, he'll likely miss most -- if not all -- of 2026. Henry appeared in two major-league games for the Diamondbacks this season but spent most of the year in Triple-A, where he posted a 2-6 record in 11 starts with an 8.12 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 51:21 K:BB across 54.1 innings.

Lands on MiLB injured list Henry was placed on Triple-A Reno's 7-day injured list last week with elbow discomfort, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Impact Henry was added to the IL on Thursday at a time when the organization's starting depth has become thin. At the major-league level, Jordan Montgomery and Corbin Burnes both have undergone Tommy John elbow surgery. At Reno, Christian Mena (shoulder) is expected to be out until early August, and Yilber Diaz just rejoined the Aces after a stint in the ACL to work on command issues.

Recalled from Triple-A The Diamondbacks recalled Henry from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Henry spun 2.2 scoreless relief innings during his lone appearance with the Diamondbacks earlier this season. He'll provide the bullpen with some length.

Joining big-league bullpen The Diamondbacks will recall Henry from Triple-A Reno prior to Tuesday's game in Atlanta, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

Impact Henry will be utilized in long relief by Arizona. The left-hander tossed 2.2 scoreless relief innings during his lone appearance with the Diamondbacks earlier this season.

Optioned to Triple-A The Diamondbacks optioned Henry to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

Impact Henry was recalled by Arizona on Sunday and made his lone major-league appearance against the Mets on Monday, when he tossed 2.2 scoreless innings while allowing one hit and no walks while striking out one batter. The move makes room on the Diamondbacks' 26-man roster for Christian Mena, who was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move. Henry is 0-4 in six starts with Reno, posting an 8.53 ERA, 1.89 WHIP and 25:15 K:BB across 31.2 innings.

Needed for multiple innings Henry allowed one hit and struck out one over 2.2 scoreless innings in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Mets.

Impact Henry was promoted Sunday from Triple-A Reno, where he was part of the Aces' rotation. The Diamondbacks envisioned needing his length with Monday's scheduled starter, Corbin Burnes, scratched due to a shoulder injury. The length was needed when long reliever Ryne Nelson, filling in for Burnes, tired in the fourth inning. Another member of the rotation, Merrill Kelly, is dealing with cramping issues in his hamstring, but he's scheduled to start Wednesday. Henry will likely stick around for a bit, as Nelson will need a few days before he's ready to pitch again.

Promoted Sunday The Diamondbacks recalled Henry from Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

Impact The left-hander will join the Diamondbacks for the first time in 2025 with Corbin Burnes (shoulder) and Merrill Kelly (hamstring) banged up. Burnes isn't starting Monday as scheduled, which is expected to result in Ryne Nelson making his first start of the season. Henry, who has an 8.53 ERA through six starts with Reno this year, is joining Arizona to provide some potential length out of the bullpen.

Optioned to minors The Diamondbacks optioned Henry to Triple-A Reno on Friday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Impact The left-hander entered camp with long odds of cracking Arizona's Opening Day rotation, and he'll head to Triple-A after giving up six earned runs over 7.1 frames in Cactus League action. Henry had a 7.04 ERA across 38.1 major-league innings last year and could serve as a spot starter or long reliever for the Diamondbacks at some point this season.

Throws three relief innings Henry allowed two hits and struck out four over three scoreless relief innings in Saturday's spring game against the Cubs.

Impact Henry followed starter Zac Gallen, throwing innings three through five, and appears headed for a long relief job or a spot in the rotation at Triple-A Reno. The left-hander made 27 starts (29 appearances) between the majors and minors in 2024 and was far more effective in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, where he ranked fourth in ERA (4.25) among pitchers with at least 20 starts.

Knocked around Sunday Henry allowed four runs on five hits while striking out one over 1.1 innings in Sunday's spring game against Seattle.

Impact Henry had a benign first inning but ran into trouble in the second frame and was removed after 40 pitches. The left-hander should serve as a depth starter at Triple-A Reno but could also be used a long reliever for the Diamondbacks.

Cooking up cutter Henry said Sunday that he's been working on adding a cutter to his repertoire during the offseason, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports. The left-hander is adding a sixth pitch t...

Impact Henry said the cutter is still a work-in-progress, and the end goal is for it to speed up right-handed batters and make lefties pause when delivered. Change is needed, after both righties and lefties teed off on Henry, who opened the 2024 season in Arizona's rotation before eventually being optioned to Triple-A Reno. The 27-year-old finished with a 7.04 ERA over nine outings (seven starts) for the Diamondbacks. Arizona now has a surplus of starting pitching ahead of Henry, who is likely to begin 2025 at Reno, for whom he has a respectable 4.20 ERA over three seasons in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League.

Falters in season debut Henry (0-1) took the loss against Colorado on Saturday, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four batters over four-plus innings.

Impact Henry got through four frames having allowed a manageable two runs, but he unraveled in the fifth. In that inning, the Rockies put their first three batters on base to chase Henry, and all three crossed the plate to mar the hurler's final stat line. Henry received a spot in the rotation as a result of Eduardo Rodriguez landing on the IL with a lat injury, but he'll likely need to pitch much better to remain a starter when Rodriguez returns or when Jordan Montgomery, whom the Diamondbacks signed March 26, is ramped up enough to join the big club.

Opens in rotation Henry will be part of the rotation to start the season, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Impact Henry, who appeared to fall behind Ryne Nelson in bid for the fifth starter job, enters the rotation due to an injury to Eduardo Rodriguez (lat). Arizona manager Torey Lovullo did not have a timetable for Rodriguez's return, but given his need to build up once he's ready to begin throwing again, Henry should get multiple starts in April.

Could open in rotation Henry could claim a spot in the rotation after Eduardo Rodriguez (lat) was shut down from throwing, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Diamondbacks confirmed Rodriguez will begin the season on the injured list, which opens up a second spot in the rotation. Henry had been competing with Ryne Nelson and Bryce Jarvis for the No. 5 job, but Nelson had the clear edge on that based on spring results. Gilbert believes Arizona will keep both Henry and Nelson as starters, while Jarvis could serve as the long man in the bullpen. Henry had a few rough spring starts before a scoreless 3.1 innings Wednesday. The left-hander finished the Cactus League with a 6.88 ERA, 12 strikeouts and six walks over 17 innings (six appearances). It's possible he throws in one of the two games scheduled Monday or Tuesday against the Guardians after Arizona breaks camp.
