Henderson Returns on Rehab Assignment | St. Louis News

Big move for the St. Louis Cardinals’ minor league system: top prospect Ixan Henderson, sidelined since February with a left flexor strain, is finally set to start a rehab assignment. The 22-year-old, who dazzled last season in Double-A with elite strikeout numbers and a low ERA, was expected to be a key part of the Cardinals’ future rotation. His return, even if just for a rehab stint, signals renewed optimism for the organization’s pitching depth. Meanwhile, pitcher Jefferson Moran has also been activated off the 60-day injured list, adding another arm to the mix. While it’s early to gauge Henderson’s comeback, his potential return could make him a name to watch for a possible call-up.
