"These two outings have been very - I don't know if it's a regression but it just hasn't been what we expected. We've got to get back and see where we can kind of get him back on track. This was not what we were hoping for the first two outings. We've got to get back to work with him."
"The righty had a great regular season in 2025, standing out among a bad batch of bullpen options. He had a 2.37 ERA in 22 games, having pitched 19 innings. His fastball velocity was in the 100th percentile, while he did a good job of limiting hard-hit balls in terms of volume."
Edgardo Henriquez, a key member of the Dodgers' 2025 World Series-winning bullpen, has struggled significantly during Spring Training. Through two appearances, he has allowed six earned runs while pitching only one full inning, recording three hits, two walks, and two hit batters while retiring just three of ten batters faced. Manager Dave Roberts expressed concern about the performance, stating it represents a regression from expectations. Henriquez had a strong 2025 regular season with a 2.37 ERA across 22 games and elite fastball velocity in the 100th percentile. However, with healthier pitchers returning and the addition of closer Edwin Diaz, Henriquez faces increased competition for a roster spot in 2026.
