Henderson (shoulder) threw his first live batting practice of the spring Sunday, FOX Sports Wisconsin reports.

Analysis:

Henderson is merely hoping to lock down a setup or middle-relief role, as the Brewers recently re-signed Francisco Rodriguez to close games. Jonathan Broxton is seemingly next in line for saves, but it's worth noting that Henderson was expected to close last season before the combination of shoulder soreness and ineffectiveness derailed his year. He's only a bit behind Milwaukee's other pitchers, and should be fine for Opening Day.
