Hendricks allowed four earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four across six innings in a loss to the Brewers on Monday. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks surrendered two runs in the first inning, but he was able to strand the bases loaded to prevent any further damage. In addition, he gave up a home run to Avisail Garcia in the third inning. This was his first time giving up four runs since May 9, which not so coincidentally was also the last time he failed to come away with a win -- he'd won eight straight coming into Monday's game. The 31-year-old has a 3.98 ERA and 1.27 WHIP in 92.2 innings, and he's tied with Aaron Civale for the MLB lead in wins with 10.

Hendricks (10-4) pitched six scoreless innings to earn the win Tuesday against Cleveland. He allowed four hits and struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks has been locked in lately, as he's now earned the win in his last eight outings. In those starts, the righty has a sparkling 2.25 ERA and 0.98 WHIP across 52 innings. He looks like Chicago's ace again after a bit of a slow start to the season, and he should remain productive for fantasy managers, even if he's not a great source of strikeouts. Hendricks will look to keep rolling in his next scheduled appearance Monday against the division-rival Brewers.

Hendricks (9-4) earned the win Thursday after holding the Mets scoreless across six innings. He allowed two hits and a pair of walks while striking out seven.
EDGE Analysis
Yet again, Hendricks turned in another quality start while blanking his opponent for the second time this year. The right-hander has been prone to home runs, allowing 19 overall, but was able to hold the Mets in check. Over his last seven starts, Hendricks has compiled a flawless 7-0 record, lowering his season ERA to 4.13 and WHIP to 1.30. The 31-year-old lines up to make his next start at home Tuesday against Cleveland.

Hendricks (8-4) allowed two earned runs on three hits and one walk while striking out two across six innings, earning the win Saturday over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks was inconsistent to begin the season, but he has posted a quality start and a win in his last six appearances. The long ball has still been an issue for him, allowing two more home runs on Saturday, totaling eight homers in his last four starts. The 31-year-old has lowered his ERA to 4.46 in 74.2 innings. He tied a season-low two strikeouts against the Cardinals and he has a low 7.0 K/9. His next start is scheduled for Thursday against the Mets.

Hendricks (7-4) allowed three earned runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out five across 6.1 innings, taking the win over the Giants on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks allowed a first inning home run to LaMonte Wade to start the game. He allowed an additional two runs between the first two innings. However, he settled in to provide three scoreless frames before being relieved in the seventh inning. The 31-year-old had a slow start to the season, but has won his last four starts. He carries a 4.59 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP in 68.2 innings. In addition, he has a 7.3 K/9 with more than six strikeouts in a single start just once this season.

Hendricks (6-4) allowed three runs across six innings to earn the win Tuesday against the Padres. He gave up seven hits and no walks while striking out four.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks turned in a fairly typical performance, as he displayed good command with a few strikeouts to pick up the quality start and his sixth win of the year. The righty has now earned the win in his last four appearances, and he has a 2.60 ERA during the stretch. His season ERA still sits at 4.62 due to a few uncharacteristically poor outings, but Hendricks should continue to whittle away at that figure, as he's posted an ERA below 3.50 in each of the past five seasons. He's scheduled to take the mound again Sunday against the Giants.

Hendricks (5-2) allowed three runs on six hits and no walks while striking out five in seven innings to earn the win against the Pirates on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks was hit hard early in the season, but he's now lasted at least 6.2 innings in each of his last three starts and has earned three consecutive wins. The right-hander gave up three home runs in Thursday's outing, but each of the long balls was a solo blast. Hendricks has now posted a 4.63 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in 56.1 innings across his first 10 starts of the year. He tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Padres on Tuesday.

Hendricks (4-4) allowed three runs (one earned) on seven hits and a walk over 6.2 innings Friday, striking out four and earning a win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks allowed an RBI double to Tommy Edman in the third inning and kept the Cardinals tame until Paul Goldschmidt laced a two-run double in the sixth. He earned his second straight win to get to .500 for the first time this season alongside a 4.74 ERA. The 31-year-old right-hander is lined up for a good matchup in Pittsburgh next week.

Hendricks (3-4) earned the win Sunday against the Tigers after tossing eight innings of one-run ball, giving up eight hits and fanning eight.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks was coming off a rough stretch and entered this game having allowed four or more runs in three of his last five starts, but he bounced back with his best start of the campaign to date. He still owns a 5.27 ERA -- a figure that would rank as a career-worst mark for him -- but this outing should undoubtedly boost his confidence going forward. The right-hander is scheduled to make his next start at the Cardinals next week.

Hendricks (2-4) allowed six runs (four earned) across five innings to take the loss Sunday against the Pirates. He gave up nine hits and a walk while striking out three.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks had looked better in his last start Tuesday, but he's now allowed four earned runs or more in three of his last five outings. It's been an uncharacteristically rough patch for the righty, who's seen his ERA climb to 6.23. By comparison, Hendricks posted a 2.88 ERA in 2020, and he's been below a 3.50 ERA in each of the last five seasons. That track record suggests that better days are ahead. Hendricks will look to start turning things around next Sunday in a favorable matchup against the Tigers.
