Hendricks allowed four runs on four hits across three innings in Sunday's Cactus League game against the Royals. He walked one and struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
The five strikeouts were nice, but Hendricks otherwise struggled, as he allowed two home runs and saw his spring ERA climb to 9.00 through three starts. The righty's career track record suggests that he should be fine once the regular season begins, though last year's career-worst 4.77 ERA might put a damper on his outlook a little bit. Fantasy managers will want to see Hendricks start off 2022 on a positive note to feel a bit more comfortable about his prospects.
