Hendricks will start Game 3 of the Cubs' World Series matchup with the Indians on Thursday, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks typically lined up right after Jon Lester in the postseason rotation, but given the fact that the right-hander pitched in the final game of the NLCS, manager Joe Maddon opted to move Jake Arrieta up to Game 2. The 26-year-old is now scheduled to take the ball for the first game of the series at Wrigley Field, likely against right-hander Josh Tomlin.
