Jun 30 2025Henderson went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, a walk, four RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 10-6 extra-innings win over the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson didn't have a hit until the 10th inning, when he lifted his two-run homer. The shortstop added a two-run double in the 11th, and the Orioles were able to hold the lead that time. While he's been held hitless in six of his last nine games, Henderson has four extra-base hits among seven knocks overall in that span. He's at a .277/.350/.449 slash line with 10 homers, 29 RBI, 44 runs scored, 15 doubles, three triples and nine stolen bases through 77 contests this season.
Jun 27 2025Henderson went 4-for-6 with two RBI, two runs scored and a triple in Friday's 22-8 victory over the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The triple was Henderson's third of the year, and he piled up a season-high four knocks. The star shortstop got off to a rough start at the plate following a delayed beginning to the year with an intercostal injury, as he was batting .220 and slugging .380 through April 18, but he's rounded into form ever since. Covering 264 plate appearances since and including April 19, Henderson is slashing .292/.375/.459 with 21 extra-base hits, 24 RBI, 35 runs scored and seven stolen bases.
Jun 20 2025Henderson is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson isn't part of the starting nine for the first time since June 6, resting for the series opener against New York. Luis Vazquez will bat ninth and fill in at shortstop.
Jun 15 2025Henderson went 2-for-3 with a double, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's 11-2 win over the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson pushed his hitting streak to eight games, and he's now tallied at least one knock in 11 of his last 13 outings. The All-Star shortstop is batting a sizzling .383 this month, adding one homer, two doubles, five RBI, six runs scored and three stolen bases thus far. Henderson is already up to six multi-hit efforts in June.
Jun 7 2025Henderson went 3-for-4 with one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson didn't play Friday, getting some rest for the first time since his April 4 season debut after opening the season on the shelf due to an intercostal strain. The shortstop has four multi-hit efforts over his last eight games, going 10-for-29 (.345) with two extra-base hits in that span. For the season, he's at a .266/.326/.441 slash line, eight home runs, 17 RBI, 31 runs scored and seven steals across 56 contests.
Jun 6 2025Henderson isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson will get a breather during Friday's series opener after going 3-for-13 with a homer and five strikeouts during Baltimore's last series against the Mariners. Jorge Mateo will fill the vacancy at shortstop and bat ninth.
Jun 5 2025Henderson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson smacked his eighth homer of the season, and he's really begun to settle in following a delayed start to the year due to an intercostal strain. Over his last 30 games, the star shortstop is batting a strong .279 (34-for-122) with five long balls, five doubles, 11 RBI, and 18 runs scored. Henderson entered Thursday with a top-notch 55.3 percent hard-hit rate, so perhaps he even has some room for improvement in the power department.
May 25 2025Henderson went 1-for-2 with two walks, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-1 win over Boston. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was Henderson's first time drawing multiple walks since April 19, and he's now posted at least one hit in seven of his last nine outings. Over 89 at-bats in the month of May, the All-Star shortstop is batting a strong .303 with four home runs, four doubles, nine RBI, 15 runs scored and three stolen bases. Although the lefty-hitting Henderson has a weak .422 OPS versus left-handed pitching this season, he's crushed righties to the tune of a .981 OPS so far.
May 11 2025Henderson went 2-for-5 with a homer, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson padded the Orioles' lead with a two-run blast in the sixth to put them up 7-2. He now has two homers, four extra-base hits and four RBI in his last three games. Sunday was also his fourth time with multiple hits over his last eight games. He's had an excellent run at the plate since late April and is now slashing .264/.307/.473 with five homers, nine RBI, 18 runs and an 8:38 BB:K in 137 plate appearances this season.
May 9 2025Henderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a triple, a walk and an additional RBI in Friday's 4-1 win over the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson racked up a season-high seven bases, submitting his second triple and fourth homer of the campaign. The All-Star shortstop also extended his on-base streak to 15 games, during which he's batting .305 (18-for-59) with two round trippers, three doubles, four RBI and six runs scored. Henderson entered the game with a top-shelf 53.0 percent hard-hit rate, so perhaps Friday was a sign that some positive regression in the power department is on the horizon.
Apr 19 2025Henderson went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, two walks, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-5 win over the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson got off to a fast start, homering in the first inning and tacking on an RBI double in the second. He also drew two walks and, for the first time in 13 games this season, avoided striking out. The 23-year-old appears to be finding his rhythm and is now slashing .245/.286/.472 with two home runs, three RBI, nine runs scored and two steals across 56 plate appearances.
Apr 17 2025Henderson went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Guardians. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson got the Orioles on the board with a solo home run off Tanner Bibee in the first inning. Thursday marked Henderson's first homer of 2025 and a sign that the 23-year-old shortstop is fully past the right intercostal strain that forced him to begin the season on the 10-day injured list.
Apr 7 2025Henderson went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, two runs and two stolen bases in Monday's 5-1 win against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson had gone just 1-for-13 with seven strikeouts over three games after being activated off the injured list April 4, but he broke out of that slump with his two-hit performance Monday. The talented young shortstop padded his stat line with a pair of thefts, while the double was his first extra-base hit of the campaign. Henderson belted 37 homers and stole 21 bases during the regular season last year, so it's reasonable to expect his initial struggles to be temporary.
Apr 4 2025The Orioles activated Henderson (intercostal) from the 10-day injured list Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson got a late start to the season after suffering a right intercostal strain in late February, but he's ready to go after playing five rehab games with Triple-A Norfolk and slugging a pair of home runs. The 23-year-old superstar finished fourth in the American League MVP voting in 2024 after collecting an .893 OPS with 37 home runs and 21 stolen bases.
Apr 3 2025Henderson (intercostal) isn't included in the Baltimore lineup for Thursday's game against the Red Sox and isn't expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list until Friday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Orioles' decision not to reinstate Henderson from the IL on his first day of eligibility isn't indicative of a setback. Instead, the 1:05 p.m. ET start time for Thursday's contest was likely a major factor, with manager Brandon Hyde telling Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com that Henderson will get a planned rest day after playing five innings in the field Wednesday night in his final rehab game with Triple-A Norfolk. Hyde said that Henderson will rejoin the Orioles in Kansas City ahead of the series opener with the Royals on Friday, and the 23-year-old will likely start at shortstop and bat leadoff in what will be his 2025 MLB debut.
Apr 2 2025Henderson (intercostal) is scheduled to play 7-to-9 innings in the field Wednesday in his final rehab game for Triple-A Norfolk, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though Henderson is poised to rejoin the big club immediately after completing the rehab assignment, the Orioles may not be keen on reinstating him from the 10-day injured list ahead of Thursday's game against the Red Sox, which begins at 1:05 p.m. ET. Before making a decision on whether to activate Henderson on Thursday or to delay his season debut until the weekend, the Orioles will wait and see how Henderson is feeling physically coming out of Wednesday's contest. After straining his right intercostal Feb. 27 and landing on the IL, Henderson has looked healthy through his first four rehab games, going 5-for-16 with a pair of home runs. Manager Brandon Hyde reiterated that Henderson will serve as the Orioles' everyday shortstop and leadoff hitter once he's activated.
Mar 31 2025Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Monday that Henderson (intercostal) is on track to return from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Thursday versus the Red Sox, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson has played three rehab games with Triple-A Norfolk, going 4-for-12 with a home run. As long as he doesn't have any setbacks with his right intercostal strain, the 23-year-old will make his season debut during Thursday's series finale against Boston.
Mar 27 2025The Orioles placed Henderson (intercostal) on the 10-day injured list Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson had been held out of the Orioles' spring lineup since late February due to a right intercostal strain, but he shouldn't be in store for a lengthy stint on the shelf to begin the season. Manager Brandon Hyde said Thursday that the 23-year-old will begin his rehab assignment when Triple-A Norfolk opens its season Friday, according to Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com. Assuming Henderson doesn't run into any setbacks during his time with Norfolk, he could be able to make his season debut April 3, when he's first eligible to come off the IL.
Mar 23 2025GM Mike Elias announced Sunday that Henderson (side) will start the regular season on the injured list but hopes the absence will be measured in "days, not weeks," Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The news isn't exactly a surprise since Henderson hasn't seen game action since suffering the intercostal strain in late February, but his recent rehab progression gave him an outside chance of being ready for Opening Day. The 24-year-old took live batting practice Saturday and could be cleared to play in exhibition games in the near future, so there's optimism his absence to begin the season will be brief.
Mar 21 2025Manager Brandon Hyde said Henderson (side) will take live batting practice Saturday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hyde admitted Thursday that Henderson is "running out of time" to be ready for Opening Day, but he doesn't appear far off from being cleared for game action. Even if the 23-year-old begins the season on the injured list, he doesn't seem likely to miss much time given where he's at in his rehab program.
Mar 20 2025Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Thursday that Henderson (intercostal) is "running out of time" to be ready for Opening Day, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The skipper added that he remains "hopeful" Henderson can be available on March 27 in Toronto, but the shortstop will have to play in some games before being cleared for Opening Day and he's running out of chances to do that. It truly seems like a coin flip at this point as to whether Henderson avoided the injured list. If Henderson does need time on the IL, the Orioles would shift Jackson Holliday to shortstop temporarily and install Ramon Urias or Jordan Westburg at second base, with the other occupying third base.
Mar 18 2025Henderson (intercostal) took batting practice Tuesday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Recovering from a mild right intercostal muscle strain, Henderson continues to ramp up his baseball activities as he attempts to get ready in time for Opening Day. He will surely need to get some at-bats in a game setting soon in order to have a shot to be active for the opener, and it's not clear when that might happen. If Henderson has to miss some time, the Orioles would slide Jackson Holliday over to shortstop and likely use Ramon Urias at second base.
Mar 15 2025Henderson said Saturday that his right intercostal feels "a lot better," and he's hoping to be available for Opening Day, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old suffered the mild intercostal strain in late February but resumed baseball activities this week and is hoping to return to game action before the end of the Grapefruit League slate. Henderson will likely need to ramp up his baseball work during the upcoming week to have a realistic shot at Opening Day.
Mar 11 2025Henderson (intercostal) hit in the batting cage Tuesday and is slated to take grounders Wednesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's the start of Henderson's progression as he returns to baseball activities following a mild right intercostal muscle strain. The 23-year-old does not have much runway to get ramped up in time for Opening Day, but the Orioles are not ruling out his availability for March 27 in Toronto. If Henderson needs a little time on the injured list, Baltimore could shift Jackson Holliday to shortstop temporarily and install Ramon Urias or Jordan Westburg at second base, with the other occupying third base.
Mar 5 2025Manager Brandon Hyde said Wednesday that Henderson's status for the Orioles' March 27 season opener in Toronto is up in the air after the shortstop was diagnosed with a mild intercostal muscle strain, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: While Henderson's condition has improved since he sustained the injury last Thursday, the Orioles plan to proceed cautiously with the 23-year-old star with the aim of avoiding a setback that could extend his recovery timeline. Hyde's comments suggest that Henderson's return to the Grapefruit League lineup isn't imminent, though the skipper remains "very, very hopeful" that Henderson will be ready for the start of the season. Even if Henderson isn't back to 100 percent in advance of Opening Day, he shouldn't be in store for an extended absence to begin the season, but the uncertainty of his status is reason enough for fantasy managers to bump him down at least a few spots on their draft boards.
Mar 3 2025Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Monday that Henderson (side) has turned a corner in his recovery, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hyde added of Henderson that this is the "best he's felt" since he exited last Thursday's Grapefruit League contest with right lower side discomfort. The expectation is that Henderson should be able to resume baseball activities soon, with a return to game action coming shortly after that.
Mar 2 2025Manager Brandon Hyde said Sunday that Henderson (side) is improving but is still a few days away from resuming baseball activities, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson is still tending to a sore lower right side, which he tweaked in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against Toronto. The Orioles are hoping that a few more days of rest will be enough for Henderson to overcome the issue, though his return to the spring lineup still may be a week away or longer.
Feb 28 2025Manager Brandon Hyde said Friday that Henderson (side) is "pretty sore" and will rest through the weekend, though there's still minimal long-term concern about the injury, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old was removed from Thursday's Grapefruit League game as a precaution due to right lower-side soreness, which was the result of an awkward landing while he caught a line drive. Assuming he doesn't need any additional time to recover, Henderson should return to game action next week.
Feb 27 2025Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Henderson's (side) removal from Thursday's game versus the Blue Jays was precautionary, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson's lower right side was a bit sore as a result of landing on the ground after catching a Bo Bichette line drive. However, there are no plans for Henderson to undergo an MRI and the Orioles expect him to be fine. Fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief.
Sep 28 2024Henderson isn't in Baltimore's lineup Saturday versus the Twins, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson has gone 0-for-6 since having his seven-game hitting streak snapped Thursday, and he'll get a chance to rest Saturday while Jackson Holliday starts at shortstop and bats leadoff.
Sep 26 2024Henderson went 3-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 9-7 win over the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson was one of six Orioles to log multiple hits in a 17-hit barrage. This was his fourth multi-hit effort during his seven-game streak, during which he's batting .387 (12-for-31). The shortstop's late surge has lifted his season numbers to a .285/.369/.536 slash line, 37 home runs, 91 RBI, 118 runs scored and 21 stolen bases on 25 attempts.
Sep 21 2024Henderson went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 7-1 win over the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Over his last 11 games, Henderson has five multi-hit efforts and four steals. The shortstop is batting .333 (15-for-45) in that span, though his move back to leadoff at the start of the month has diminished his opportunities to generate RBI. For the year, he has a .283/.366/.538 slash line with 37 home runs, 21 steals, 87 RBI and 115 runs scored, with all of those numbers being significant improvements on his rookie-year stats from 2023.
Sep 19 2024Henderson went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson's steal was his fifth of September, giving him the first 20-steal season in his third year. The 23-year-old is hitting .338 (22-for-65) over 16 contests this month, with nine of his knocks going for extra bases. His rebound at the plate has coincided with him once again being atop the Orioles' lineup. Henderson is at a .282/.365/.537 slash line with 37 home runs, 87 RBI, 114 runs scored, 28 doubles and seven triples over a career-high 151 contests.
Sep 14 2024Henderson went 2-for-3 with a homer, two RBI, two runs and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson went deep Saturday, his 37th home run, which tied Marcell Ozuna for the fifth most in MLB in the process. Henderson is on pace for 40 homers this season, which would make him the fifth shortstop in history with 40 or more in a season. Henderson also had a double against the Tigers, and he now has 72 extra-base hits this season, which is the fifth most by an Orioles shortstop in a single season in franchise history.
Sep 8 2024Henderson went 3-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 2-0 loss to the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson played well, but only one other Orioles (Cedric Mullins) produced any hits in this contest. This was Henderson's fourth multi-hit effort over seven games in September -- he's 12-for-28 (.429) with three home runs and seven RBI in that span. The shortstop is up to a .282/.367/.540 slash line with 36 homers, 85 RBI, 108 runs scored and 18 steals through 142 games this season. Henderson's recent success has come since he was moved back to the top of the order versus right-handed pitchers.
Sep 7 2024Henderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-0 win over the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson had half of the Orioles' hits in the low-scoring contest. After batting .234 with five homers over 28 games in August, Henderson has made noise with three long balls over the first five games in September. The star shortstop is up to a .282/.368/.543 slash line with 36 homers, 85 RBI, 108 runs scored, 17 stolen bases, 25 doubles and six triples through 140 contests this season.
Sep 4 2024Henderson went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-1 loss to the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson led off the home half of the first inning with a 402-foot blast off Jonathan Cannon, his 35th of the year, that would stand as the Orioles' lone run in the loss. It's the second homer in five games for Henderson, who's gone 8-for-19 in that span. The 23-year-old shortstop is now slashing .280/.367/.538 through 630 plate appearances this year with 107 runs scored, 84 RBI and 17 stolen bases.
Sep 2 2024Henderson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and two additional RBI in Monday's 13-3 win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson helped Baltimore bounce back from an early 2-0 deficit, leading off the bottom of the first inning with a solo shot. It was his 34th homer of the year, 28 of which he's hit when he's slotted in atop the lineup. His other RBI came on a sacrifice fly and a groundout. Henderson snapped a 13-game homer drought Monday and he's now at a .276/.362/.530 slash line with 83 RBI, 103 runs scored and 16 stolen bases over 137 contests. The shortstop has batted leadoff the last two times the Orioles have faced a right-hander, which suggests manager Brandon Hyde is going back to what worked well earlier in the season.
Sep 1 2024Henderson went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and one stolen base in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson entered Sunday in a bit of a slump, having gone just 7-for-50 (.140) over his previous 13 contests. He was able to break with a multi-hit effort, though he's now gone nine games without an extra-base hit. The shortstop is now at a .276/.363/.527 slash line with 33 home runs, 16 steals, 80 RBI, 102 runs scored, 24 doubles and six triples over 136 games this season. He doesn't appear comfortable in the heart of the order -- Henderson is batting .248 across 39 games from third and fourth in the order (combined), while he's batting .287 over 97 games when atop the lineup.
Aug 21 2024Henderson went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson had gone 38 games without a steal, and he had just one attempt in that span. The shortstop is up to 15 thefts on 17 attempts this season. He's batting .293 (22-for-75) in August and now has a .287/.374/.555 slash line with 33 home runs, 78 RBI, 100 runs scored, 23 doubles and six triples over 126 contests this season.
Aug 18 2024Henderson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson's sixth-inning homer gave the Orioles their margin of victory. The shortstop has gone deep four times over his last five games, adding eight RBI in that span. For the season, Henderson is slashing .288/.374/.562 with 33 homers, 77 RBI, 98 runs scored and 14 stolen bases over 123 contests. He should continue to be heavily involved in run production from the No. 3 spot in Baltimore's order.
Aug 17 2024Henderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Red Sox on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson accounted for Baltimore's only run in the loss with his sixth-inning solo blast. The long ball was his third in his past four contests on the heels of a 23-game stretch during which he went deep just once. While Henderson's power numbers waned in the weeks following the All-Star break, he appears to be rounding back into form in that area and is still tied for sixth in the majors with 32 long balls on the season.
Aug 16 2024Henderson went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After being stuck at 29 homers for seven games, Henderson has smacked a long ball in consecutive contests. He's up to 31 homers this season, though he's hit just five of them since the start of July. Even with less power, he's been productive -- he's batting .321 (17-for-53) in August and has a fantastic .289/.374/.558 slash line with 73 RBI, 96 runs scored, 23 doubles, six triples and 14 stolen bases through 120 contests overall.
Aug 15 2024Henderson went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old shortstop took DJ Herz deep in the first inning, and it proved to be all the offense that Dean Kremer and the Baltimore bullpen would need. Henderson is slashing .306/.358/.490 through 12 games in August, and Wednesday's homer gave him 30 for the season, the first time -- but almost certainly not the last -- he's reached that mark in his career.
Aug 11 2024Henderson went 3-for-4 with a double in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson has logged three hits in four of his last eight games, though he unfortunately went hitless in the other four games in that span. The shortstop has struggled on the power front lately, contributing five doubles, one triple and one home run over 22 contests since the All-Star break. Still, he's hitting consistently and has a .290/.376/.553 slash line, 29 homers, 69 RBI, 94 runs scored, 23 doubles and 14 stolen bases through 117 contests. Henderson should continue to get decent chances for RBI while hitting third in Baltimore's order.
Aug 10 2024Henderson went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson entered Saturday in an 0-for-15 skid, but he broke out in a big way. The shortstop is 16-for-52 (.308) since moving down to the No. 3 spot in the order July 28, though he has just one home run in that span. For the year, he's at a .286/.373/.549 slash line, 29 homers, 69 RBI, 94 runs scored, 14 stolen bases, 22 doubles and six triples over 116 contests.
Aug 4 2024Henderson went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and two additional runs scored during Sunday's 9-5 win over Cleveland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson has logged three hits in back-to-back games and tagged Gavin Williams for a two-run homer in the fifth inning Sunday. The long ball was the shortstop's 29th of 2024, a career-high mark. At 23 years old, Henderson has already emerged as one of the AL's top hitters and is slashing .293/.379/.567 in 506 plate appearances.
Aug 3 2024Henderson went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Guardians. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson saw an eight-game hitting streak snapped Friday, but he bounced right back with his first three-hit effort since July 19. The shortstop batted .276 in July, just a touch worse than his .288 average through 110 contests overall. For the season, he's added a .934 OPS, 67 RBI, 90 runs scored, 28 home runs, 14 stolen bases, 22 doubles and six triples. With Colton Cowser getting more of a run atop the order versus right-handers and short-side platoon specialist Austin Slater getting a look at leadoff versus southpaw Joey Cantillo on Saturday, Henderson has been hitting third in the order, which gives him a better chance to generate RBI.
Jul 29 2024Henderson isn't in the lineup for the second game of Monday's doubleheader versus the Blue Jays, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson went 1-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in the Orioles' 11-5 win in the first game of the day and will receive a rare game off for the nightcap. Jordan Westburg will cover shortstop for the Orioles in Henderson's stead.
Jul 21 2024Henderson will start at shortstop and bat leadoff Sunday against the Rangers after initially being absent from the lineup, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson appeared set to sit for just the second time all season but will instead take his usual spot atop the order for Baltimore. Ramon Urias will head to the bench as the odd man out of the Orioles' initial Sunday lineup.
Jul 19 2024Henderson went 4-for-5 with three runs scored in Friday's win over the Rangers.

The star shortstop would then add a double and a two-run single in his next two-at bats while also being hit by a pitch for the second time in the contest.

Mar 4 2024Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Monday that Henderson will receive the bulk of his playing time this season at shortstop, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson played a bit more third base than shortstop last season and the hot corner is "still an option," per Hyde. However, it sounds like the O's intend on Henderson settling in as their primary shortstop. The domino effect means Jorge Mateo likely being used in something of a super utility role, bouncing around the middle infield and outfield. It could also create a clearer path at second base for Jackson Holliday if Baltimore elects to use Jordan Westburg more at third base. Henderson is making his Grapefruit League debut Monday after overcoming an oblique issue, starting at shortstop and batting third against the Twins.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson's bases-clearing opposite-field double off Yu Darvish in the top of the fifth inning provided all the support rookie right-hander Grayson Rodriguez (one run allowed over seven innings) would require as the Orioles took the series opener.

Jun 25 2023Henderson went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Mariners.

Jun 21 2023Henderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-2 loss to the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson's ninth-inning blast was little more than window dressing in the loss.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson was slated to lead off against the Cubs on Sunday, but the rookie infielder was a late scratch from the lineup due to the illness.

For the season, Henderson is batting just .225 with a .771 OPS, eight home runs, four stolen bases, 18 RBI, 32 runs scored, seven doubles and two triples over 56 contests. Adam Frazier, who also homered Saturday, is likely Henderson's biggest competition for the leadoff spot versus right-handed pitchers.

Jun 2 2023Henderson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's victory over the Giants.

Despite the lack of power and a .203 batting average, his OPS sits at a respectable .716 thanks to 29 walks in 132 plate appearances. Once the 21-year-old finds his power, he could take off for fantasy managers and the Orioles.

The 21-year-old has struggled to find his stride this season, batting just .200 over 145 at-bats, though he is seeing the ball a little better recently, batting .267 over his last 14 contests.

His steal Thursday was his second of the season -- he had 23 thefts across all levels last year, so there's more speed potential he can tap into. For the year, he's slashing .210/.347/.391 with five home runs, 11 RBI, 27 runs scored, six doubles and two triples across 167 plate appearances while seeing regular time between third base and shortstop.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson took a changeup in the middle of the zone from Gerrit Cole yard for his fifth home run of the season, officially besting his 2022 total.

May 4 2023Henderson went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored against the Royals in a 13-10 win Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson gave Baltimore what looked to be an unsurmountable 8-1 lead in the third inning with a 425-foot, two-run blast to right field. However, Kansas City eventually took the lead in the seventh frame, and Henderson was replaced by a pinch hitter when his turn came up in the eighth. Despite the late-game substitution, this was a positive performance for Henderson, as he had gone just 1-for-13 over his previous five games entering Thursday.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Henderson drew three walks in Tuesday's 11-7 win but went hitless again.

He'll get a chance to rest up Wednesday while Ramon Urias fills in for him at third base.
