Henderson Returns to Pitching | St. Louis Cardinals News

St. Louis Cardinals’ top 12 prospect Ixan Henderson is finally set to start a rehab assignment after a months-long flexor strain sidelined him since Spring Training — no major damage, just a slow recovery. The 22-year-old, who dazzled with a 2.59 ERA and elite strikeouts in 2025 at Double-A, is now heading to rookie-level FCL Cardinals. Meanwhile, fellow young arm Jefferson Moran has also been activated off the 60-day IL, signaling a promising push to rebuild pitching depth. If Henderson returns to form, especially at Triple-A, he could be a key call-up candidate soon. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
