Brock Stewart Placed On Injured List, Edgardo Henriquez Recalled

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed Brock Stewart on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation and recalled Edgardo Henriquez from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Henriquez returns to the Dodgers for the second time this season. He previously spent one week with the club before getting sent back to Oklahoma City when Blake Treinen returned from the 60-day injured list.

Henriquez appeared in three games, pitching 2.1 scoreless innings. Though, a throwing error when he inherited bases-loaded jam allowed all three runners to score.

The right-hander had his 2025 season delayed due to an off-the-field incident that resulted in a broken left foot. That cost Henriquez an opportunity to be on the Dodgers’ Opening Day roster as they wound up dealing with multiple injuries within their bullpen.

Given the Dodgers are short on right-handed options in their bullpen because of injuries, Henriquez is going to immediately get an opportunity to pitch late in games.

“I’m happy to get Edgardo back here and essentially put him in a leverage position as far as dominating right-handed hitters and see if he can continue to do what he’s done for us while he’s been up,” manager Dave Roberts said.

Brock Stewart’s shoulder injury

Stewart was the Dodgers’ primary addition to their roster at the trade deadline, coming over in a deal from the Minnesota Twins in exchange for James Outman.

At the time of the trade, Stewart had a 2.38 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 41 strikeouts in 34 innings with the Twins. But with the Dodgers, he allowed two runs on six hits with two walks in just 3.2 innings.

Stewart said his issues were due to not being “very sharp” and brushed it off as a normal part of baseball over the course of a season.

Roberts said Stewart started dealing with shoulder soreness four days ago, and they believe they caught the injury early enough for the right-hander to return this season.

Stewart is expected to undergo testing on Wednesday.

The 33-year-old has pitched to a 2.63 ERA this season with a 1.19 WHIP, 10.51 strikeouts per nine and 3.11 walks per nine.

Over his career, Stewart holds a 4.48 ERA in 183 innings. But in the past three seasons with the Twins, he pitched to a 2.33 ERA in 77.1 innings while striking out 31.7% of hitters and walking 9.5%.

After making his debut with the Dodgers in 2016, Stewart returned in December 2020 on a Minor League contract but missed the entire 2021 season due to Tommy John surgery.

After signing with the Twins, he missed time due to right elbow soreness (2023), right shoulder tendinitis (2024), right shoulder strain (2024) and a left hamstring strain (2025).
