The injury bug couldn't be avoided as once Logan Henderson has landed on the Injured List.

This time around, the Milwaukee Brewers have placed him on the 15-day IL due to a low back strain.

There was concern after Henderson's last start on Friday, May 22, which puts him retroactively on the IL to Saturday, May 23.

In a corresponding move, the team has once again called up Coleman Crow from Triple-A Nashville.

When speaking to the media after the announcement, Hunter Baumgardt posted a video where Henderson explained the reasoning behind this decision.

Henderson said he "tweaked something" in the third inning or going back out for the fourth, "I was fighting through it the rest of the game, trying to leave it all out on the field. After the game I just didn't feel my best and I just haven't recovered the way I wanted to."

The 24-year-old recalled walking Freddie Freeman where he said he "didn't feel like I was able to finish my stuff."

"It's certainly disappointing and I feel like I let the team down and the fans down to a degree," Henderson added. 

Henderson said he hasn't played catch in a couple days. Both he and the team are being cautious with his estimated return date being mid-June.

Two-time NL Manager of the Year Pat Murphy revealed Coleman Crow will be given an extra day of rest due to his last start in Triple-A, meaning there's a strong potential for the team's series finale against the St. Louis Cardinals to be a bullpen game.

Thankfully for the Brewers, they have an off day on Thursday, May 28, as they get ready to jump on a plane and fly to Houston for a three-game series against the Astros.

Crow will get the start in game one of that series with the remaining two games still to be determined.

One of the most frustrating aspects for the Brewers starter is the fact that Henderson was born in Houston. Knowing the Astros were on the horizon, this injury couldn't have come at a worse time as it forced him out of the lineup and from making a start at Daikin Park.

Nonetheless, the team's main priority is getting him back to 100%. The second-year Brewers pitcher has a 2-1 record in five starts this season with a stellar 2.74 ERA.
