Thomas Henry: Everything you need to know

Henry (elbow) has posted an 8.18 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and 7:4 BB:K in 11 innings through three starts with Triple-A Reno since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list May 7. Henry didn't make any appearances in the majors or minors after June 10 last season after undergoing what was reported as a traditional Tommy John surgery on his left elbow. Given the timing of the surgery, Henry had been expected to be on the shelf for most of the 2026 campaign, but Jack Sommers of SI.com relayed April 21 that the previous report was erroneous, and the southpaw had actually opted for an internal brace procedure on his elbow. The procedure ended up shaving considerable time off of Henry's rehab program, as he was able to begin pitching in rehab games in the lower levels of the minors by mid-April, about 10 months after he went under the knife. Though he made a speedy return from the elbow operation, Henry has struggled to regain command and control since joining the Reno rotation and is unlikely to be a factor at the big-league level anytime soon.

The Diamondbacks re-signed Henry (elbow) to a minor-league contract Monday. Henry was non-tendered by Arizona last month, but the two sides have reunited on a minor-league pact. The left-hander missed much of 2025 due to injury and could be out for all of next season following Tommy John surgery in June. Henry holds a career 5.07 ERA over 37 appearances (32 starts) at the big-league level.

The Diamondbacks non-tendered Henry (elbow) on Friday. Henry is likely to miss the entire 2026 season while recovering from a Tommy John procedure he underwent in June, so it comes as little surprise to see the D-backs decline to offer him a contract for the upcoming year. The 28-year-old southpaw will likely have to settle for a minor-league deal once he approaches the end of his recovery after posting an 8.12 ERA and 1.79 WHIP over 54.1 innings at Triple-A Reno in 2025.
