Brewers activated RHP Jim Henderson from the 15-day disabled list. Henderson missed the minimum amount of time with a strained right hamstring. The hard-thrower posted a 0.92 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 23/5 K/BB ratio through 19 2/3 innings before going down and should get his closer job back even though Francisco Rodriguez has pitched well.

Jim Henderson (hamstring) stated Friday that he feels his hamstring is 100 percent and that he expects to be activated from the disabled list Sunday.

After playing catch again on Tuesday, Henderson will throw a bullpen session Wednesday and either a simulated inning or an appearance in the minors on Friday. If he goes through all that without having a setback, he should return to the closer role this weekend. "I feel like I could go pitch effectively now," said Henderson after playing catch on Monday. "But the intensity will ramp up with the bullpens and stuff, so just make sure that's OK."

Brewers placed RHP Jim Henderson on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right hamstring. Henderson injured the hamstring during Friday's game, and it turned out to be severe enough to require a trip to the DL. A corresponding roster move will be made on Sunday.

Jim Henderson earned his ninth save of the season as the Brewers beat the Dodgers 5-2 on Tuesday. Henderson's save capped off a total of 5 2/3 scoreless innings from the Milwaukee bullpen. He surrendered a hit and a walk but struck out the other three batters he faced and now boasts a 0.95 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 23/5 K/BB ratio in 19 innings this season. The right-hander has been a waiver wire gem so far and should be a steady fantasy closer all year.
