Hendricks did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Reds, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out two over 7.1 scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks needed just 81 pitches to work into the eighth inning, finishing with arguably his best start of the season. Over his final five outings, the veteran logged two quality starts while yielding two earned runs or fewer four times. He'll conclude a disappointing campaign with a 5.92 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 87:43 K:BB across 130.2 innings and will hit free agency this offseason.

Hendricks (4-12) allowed four runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out two over 5.1 innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

All nine hits allowed by Hendricks on Saturday were singles as he went on to pick up his 12th loss, tying him for the second most in the National League this season. Hendricks' ERA currently sits at 6.28, and it has not dipped below the 6.00 mark all season. Despite the rough season, the 34-year-old has still managed to throw 121.1 innings in 23 starts.

Hendricks (4-11) allowed one run on two hits across six innings to earn the win Sunday against the Rockies. He walked three and struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks hasn't been very good lately, as he came into this start with a 6.10 ERA and 1.89 WHIP across his last five outings, but he turned back the clock Sunday with a vintage performance. The veteran righty came within one strikeout of his season high, and the two hits allowed tied for his fewest allowed in a start this year. The surprisingly effective appearance might be the last start of the season for Hendricks, however, as Justin Steele (elbow) appears ready to rejoin the rotation in the next few days. When that happens, Hendricks could be pushed back into a long-relief role.

Hendricks allowed two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out two batters over 4.1 innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks got through four scoreless frames but allowed four straight batters to reach base with one out in the fifth. That earned him the hook, marking the third time in his past four outings that he's been unable to complete five innings. Hendricks has posted a 7.47 ERA and 2.17 WHIP over 15.2 frames during that stretch while walking more batters (10) than he's struck out (nine). He may move back to the bullpen when Justin Steele (elbow) is able to return from the injured list.

Hendricks (3-11) allowed two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks rebounded from his poor outing in Pittsburgh last Wednesday, but he didn't get any run support this time around. This was just the second time in eight outings since the All-Star break where Hendricks was able to avoid giving up a home run. He's now at a 6.60 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 74:33 K:BB through 107.2 innings over 25 appearances (20 starts) this season. With Justin Steele (elbow) out, Hendricks is likely to stay in the rotation for another turn, though that lines up to be a brutal road matchup versus the Dodgers.

Hendricks will start Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks looked to be destined to head to the bullpen due to the return of Jordan Wicks. However, Justin Steele was scratched due to elbow soreness, pushing Hendricks into spot start duty Tuesday. He served up six earned runs across only 1.2 innings in a start Wednesday against Pittsburgh, though he had been more effective in immediately preceding outings.

Hendricks escaped with a no-decision in Wednesday's win against the Pirates, allowing six earned runs on eight hits and three walks in 1.2 innings. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks never found his footing in this one, surrendering a solo home run to Bryan Reynolds in the opening frame before completely unraveling in the second, yielding an additional five earned runs on three extra-base hits before mercifully being pulled with two runners on and two out in the inning. Fortunately for Hendricks, those two runners were stranded and the Cubs rallied to a 14-10 victory, keeping Hendricks record at 3-10. The 34-year-old veteran has been a shell of his former self this season, registering an ugly 6.75 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 6.0 K/9 (fourth percentile) in 102.2 innings. Hendricks next start is slated to be a rematch with Pittsburgh early next week.

Hendricks didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Marlins, allowing three run on seven hits and two walks across 4.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks pitched well on Friday but couldn't make it out of the fifth inning to be in consideration for the win. The 34-year-old has looked better as of late, with a 4.54 ERA over his last eight starts. Hendricks has allowed three runs or fewer in seven of his last eight starts. He should continue to see opportunities, but strikeouts remain an issue as Friday was his first start of the year without a punchout.

Hendricks didn't factor into the decision Friday against Toronto, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits over five innings. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks held the Blue Jays to one unearned run through his first four innings before Leo Jimenez tied the game 2-2 with a solo homer to lead off the fifth. While it's been a tough year overall for Hendricks, the veteran right-hander has looked better of late, holding opponents to three runs or fewer in five of his last six outings. Overall, Hendricks is 3-10 with a 6.35 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 67:27 K:BB across 96.1 innings this season. He's currently lined up to face the Tigers at home next week in his next start.

Hendricks (3-10) took the loss Monday against Minnesota, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk over six innings. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

Despite reaching double-digit losses for the third time in his 11-year career, the veteran right-hander posted his third quality start of the season in this 93-pitch outing. Hendricks handcuffed the Twins lineup and tallied five or more punchouts for the fourth time in 2024. Overall, the 34-year-old has pitched to a 6.60 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 65:27 K:BB across 91.1 innings. His next time on the mound is scheduled to be in Cleveland.
