Manager Blake Butera admits fault, acknowledging the team hadn’t consistently pushed Henry to throw multiple innings at Triple-A, a necessity for big-league success. This isn’t an isolated case: relievers like Zak Kent and Paxton Schultz have also faltered after call-ups. The front office now realizes fresh arms aren’t enough—they need pitchers primed for high-leverage, multi-inning roles. To fix it, they’re adjusting minor league training to build durability and have brought up Matt Krook, a lefty with a proven track record of handling multiple innings in Triple-A, to plug the immediate gap.
