Hendricks will have his next start pushed back to later next week after Saturday's start was rained out, affording the Cubs an unforeseen off day, MLB.com's Carrie Muskat reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was scheduled to pitch in the Cubs' first series next week against the division rival Pirates, but the Cubs can now push him back to Thursday against the Nationals, while getting Jason Hammel, Jake Arrieta and Jon Lester taking the mound in the Pittsburgh series. There are not major fantasy ramifications from this move, but owners in leagues with daily moves should make note that Hendricks' next start date has changed.
