Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Logan Henderson throws in the bullpen during spring training workouts Monday, February 17, 2025, at American Family Fields of Phoenix in Phoenix, Arizona. Despite playing with an injury-riddled starting pitching staff, the defending National League Central champion Milwaukee Brewers have yet to lose a home series this season. They’ll try to make it 4-0 on Sunday afternoon when they host the Athletics in the rubber game of their three-game set.
Right-hander Logan Henderson, rated Milwaukee’s No. 12 prospect by MLB Pipeline, will make his major league debut while left-hander Jeffrey Springs (3-1, 4.50 ERA) will try to win his third straight start for the A’s.
Springs is 0-0 with a 3.60 ERA in one career start against Milwaukee.
Henderson, a fourth-round pick in the 2021 MLB Draft out of McLennan Community College in Waco, Texas, was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday after compiling a 2-1 record with a 3.21 ERA in three starts, striking out 24 in just 14 innings.
“He’s been throwing the ball really well,” Brewers manager Pat Murphy told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “That’s kind of why he’s here. We need help. All hands on deck. Whether or not he ends up staying for an extended period of time will depend on him and other peoples’ health and that type of thing. But we’re excited to have him.”
Milwaukee is second in the NL Central, two games behind the Chicago Cubs, despite a rash of injuries to starters who are on the injured list. That includes Brandon Woodruff, Aaron Civale, Nestor Cortes, Tobias Myers, Aaron Ashby, DL Hall and Robert Gasser.
Chad Patrick made his fourth career start in the 3-1 loss to the Athletics on Saturday but performed well, allowing two runs on seven hits over six innings with seven strikeouts and no walks. However, that wasn’t good enough on a night when free-agent signee Luis Severino allowed three hits and one run over eight innings to pick up his first win with the A’s.
“That’s a really good lineup, and he pitched really, really well,” Murphy said of Patrick. “He pitched out of a jam, and I thought he was spot on tonight. He pitched well enough to win.”
However, Severino (1-3), who signed a three-year, $67 million free agent contract with the A’s in December that was the largest in franchise history, was even better. He didn’t walk a batter and struck out one while throwing 92 pitches, 63 for strikes. It was his first regular-season win since Sept. 19 when he pitched for the New York Mets against the Philadelphia Phillies.
“How much did they pay him this year?” Murphy asked. “Well, that’s why they did it, because he’s good.”
“Only one strikeout in eight innings, that’s old-school baseball,” A’s manager Mark Kotsay said. “He didn’t have a walk. He was pounding the zone and they were putting the ball in play. … I thought he used his fastball really good. His sweeper was really good, too.”
Severino was happy to finally pick up a win in his fifth start with his new team.
“It feels great,” he said. “I know (the Brewers) are a good team. They battled until the end. They put together great at-bats. So getting the win for the guys, for the team, I feel unbelievable tonight.”
It was the fourth win in the last five games for the Athletics, who moved within one game of the .500 mark at 10-11.

How TCU social media leaned into Bill Belichick hype: Memes, one-liners and plenty of receipts
TCU had a heckuva time ruining Bill Belichick’s big debut at North Carolina on Monday night. The only one who might’ve had as much fun as the Horned Frog players in Chapel Hill was 32-year-old Sam Lazarus.TCU’s director of football creative media, like the rest of the Horned Frogs, had taken note of how everything surrounding Monday night’s game was about Belichick and his team. Of course, that wasn’t a shock considering that the 73-year-old Belichick, the greatest coach in NFL history, was coaching his first game at the college level. The curiosity factor of that probably even topped what the Horned Frogs faced when they opened up two years ago against Colorado in Deion Sanders’ first FBS game. Still, for a team coming off a nine-win season with most of its top talent returning, the disrespect of being reduced […]

2025 Fantasy football draft strategy: Tiers, cheat sheets, PPR deep sleepers, breakout picks via NFL expert
One of the biggest challenges for Fantasy football managers each season is projecting the roles of rookies. Depth charts offer hints, but real trust develops as the season unfolds, and identifying a few deep fantasy sleepers can give your roster a significant boost. Reliable 2025 Fantasy football rankings can help managers target polarizing prospects like Cam Skattebo, Jaydon Blue, and Jack Bech. Top options such as Josh Allen, Saquon Barkley, Ja'Marr Chase, and Brock Bowers dominate their Fantasy position rankings, but building a strong team comes down to middle- and late-round fantasy strategy. With last-minute 2025 Fantasy football drafts going on the clock, managers are scrambling to lock in early picks and uncover late-round sleepers. In PPR leagues, high-volume receivers are particularly valuable, while running backs tend to be the key to success in standard scoring leagues. Before locking in […]
