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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

Henry had a benign first inning but ran into trouble in the second frame and was removed after 40 pitches. Arizona has several starters in camp ahead of the Henry, who should serve the organization as a depth starter at Triple-A Reno. He might also be used as a long reliever if promoted to the majors.

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 to his mix, which also includes a four-seamer, curveball, sinker, changeup and slider.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Diamondbacks optioned Henry to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Henry made three appearances for the Diamondbacks after his call-up June 9, allowing 13 runs on 14 hits (including five home runs) and seven walks while striking out six over 10 innings. He'll look to regain his control in the minors, where he has a more respectable 3.41 ERA and 1.47 WHIP across 31.2 innings. Left-hander Brandon Hughes was recalled by Arizona in a corresponding move.

Henry (2-3) took the loss in Saturday's 12-1 rout at the hands of the Phillies, coughing up six runs on six hits and two walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Philadelphia slugged four homers in total on the afternoon, and two of them came off Henry as Bryce Harper and Alec Bohm went back-to-back in the third inning. The 26-year-old southpaw has failed to pitch more than four innings in any of his last four appearances as he bounces between the rotation and long relief, and on the season he carries a rough 7.04 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 30:18 K:BB through 38.1 innings. Zac Gallen (hamstring) appears close to returning, which could bump Henry back to the bullpen, but if he gets another start it lines up to come at home next weekend against the A's.

Henry is slated to start Saturday's game against the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

EDGE Analysis

Henry has already made six starts with Arizona this season, but his last two appearances with the big club following his June 9 call-up from Triple-A Reno have come as a primary pitcher out of the bullpen behind opening pitcher Scott McGough. Though Henry was roughed up for seven earned runs over 6.1 innings between those two relief outings, he'll get another turn through the rotation, this time as a traditional starter. Zac Gallen (hamstring) appears on track to return from the 15-day injured list by next weekend, so Henry will likely be on his way out of the rotation regardless of how he performs Saturday.

Henry allowed five runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three over four innings in Saturday's 9-2 loss to the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed Henry was slated to be the bulk pitcher but was not brought into the game until the sixth inning, as Chicago loaded its lineup with all right-handed batters. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo sent a slew of righties to the mound before Henry, who entered with the Diamondbacks still in the game, down 4-2. He got through his first inning before giving up two walks and a three-run home run in the seventh. Two innings later, the third batter he walked trotted home on another home run. Henry has allowed seven runs on eight hits and five walks over 6.1 innings since being called up for his second stint in the majors.

Henry is expected to work in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Scott McGough in Saturday's game against the White Sox, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

After being called up from Triple-A Reno last Sunday, Henry worked behind McGough and picked up a win against the Padres, despite giving up two earned runs over three hits and two walks over 2.1 innings. Henry hasn't been used since that relief outing, so he should be able to give Arizona plenty of length once McGough exits Saturday's contest.

Henry (2-2) picked up Sunday's win, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out one over 2.1 innings against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Henry followed opener Scott McGough and was the pitcher of record when the Diamondbacks scored six times in the second inning. It was a long day for Henry, who was called up from Triple-A Reno late Saturday and flew early Sunday to be in San Diego in time for the game. The left-hander was in Arizona's rotation early this season, and injuries could lead to at least one turn in the coming week. In addition to the injuries, performance may play a role in Henry staying longer. If he pitches well this week, Henry could overtake Slade Cecconi (5.66 ERA), Jordan Montgomery (6.80) or Ryne Nelson (5.96) once the injured starters return.

Henry was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Sunday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander has a 5.40 ERA in six starts for Arizona this season but has been at Triple-A Reno since late April. Henry is a likely bet to see some innings behind opener Scott McGough in San Diego on Sunday.
