Hendricks pitched 6.1 innings during Wednesday's 3-2 loss to St. Louis, allowing two runs on eight hits with three strikeouts. He didn't factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks cruised through six innings but allowed two hits and a run in the seventh before departing and would've been the loser if not for Eric Sogard's tying hit in the ninth. This was Hendrick's 12th quality start in his last 13 appearances, and interestingly enough 3 of his four lowest strikeout totals this season have come against the Cardinals.

Hendricks (12-4) won Friday's 5-1 victory over Arizona, allowing one run on six hits and three walks with four strikeouts in six innings.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks breezed through the first two innings but allowed his only run in the third and loaded the bases with one out in the fourth, though he was able to escape the jam. The soft-tossing righty's 101 pitches are tied for his second most on the season and his 12 wins tie him with Julio Urias for the MLB lead. He'll take a 3.65 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 84:23 K:BB into next week's scheduled start against St. Louis.

Hendricks (11-4) allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out one in 6.1 innings, earning the win in Friday's 10-5 win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
It was the righty's 10th quality start in his last 11 outings, and he now has 13 such starts in 18 games this season. Hendricks' 11 wins are tied with Julio Urias for the major-league lead. The Cubs' rotation as a whole has been miserable in recent weeks, but Hendricks has only gotten better after an up-and-down April and slightly more consistent May. He'll take a 3.77 ERA into the All-Star break and presumably start Chicago's second-half opener next Friday in Arizona.

Hendricks allowed a run on five hits and struck out five in six innings versus Cincinnati on Sunday. He did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
After stringing together eight wins in eight starts from May 16 to June 22, Hendricks has taken no-decisions in his last two outings. Sunday's effort was a strong one from the right-hander, although relievers Dan Winkler and Andrew Chafin allowed a narrow one-run lead to slip away in the seventh inning. Hendricks owns a 3.83 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 79:19 K:BB across 98.2 innings this year. The 31-year-old is projected to face St. Louis in next weekend's series.

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.
