Coleman Crow to Start Friday Against the Astros in Houston

coleman crow is slated to start Friday against the Astros in Houston after Milwaukee recalled him from Triple-A Nashville earlier Tuesday. The 25-year-old takes Logan Henderson’s spot in the rotation after Henderson landed on the 15-day injured list with a low back strain.

Crow’s Third Brewers Start

Friday will be Crow’s third start of the season with Milwaukee, and the assignment sends him back into a rotation role quickly after the roster move. He replaces Henderson directly, giving the Brewers another starter for a road game against a Houston team waiting at home.

Crow’s first two starts came on the road against the Marlins and Twins. In those outings, he did not pick up a win, but he worked 10.1 innings, struck out seven batters, and allowed three runs on seven hits and one walk.

Milwaukee’s Rotation Shift

That line gives Milwaukee a usable short-term answer while Henderson is sidelined. Crow has already handled two road assignments, so the Brewers are asking him to carry that work into Houston in a different setting and against a lineup he has not faced in this stretch.

The practical change for the Brewers is simple: Crow is now in the rotation, and Friday is his next chance to hold the job. For Henderson, the move opens a lane for recovery from the low back strain, while Milwaukee gets a pitcher who has already given it 10.1 innings and seven strikeouts across his first two starts.

Houston Awaits Crow

Houston is the immediate test, and the start comes with the same basic pressure every fill-in starter faces: deliver enough innings to keep the bullpen intact. Crow has already shown he can miss bats and limit damage in short bursts, and Milwaukee now turns that profile into a third start against the Astros.
