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.

Hendricks (2-3) allowed just one run across seven innings to earn the win in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Dodgers. He gave up seven hits and a walk while striking out six.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks helped out the Chicago bullpen by going the distance in the seven-inning game, and the righty was much better than he was in his last outing, when he allowed seven runs across 3.2 innings. He actually blanked Los Angeles until there was one out in the seventh, when Keibert Ruiz connected for a solo home run. Hendricks has allowed seven runs on two different occasions this season, both against Atlanta, which has inflated ERA to 6.07 even after the strong start Tuesday. He'll look to keep whittling down that number in his next scheduled appearance Sunday against the Pirates.

Hendricks will not start Monday against the Dodgers as the game has been postponed due to inclement weather, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The game will be made up as part of a split doubleheader Tuesday. Hendricks will likely start the first of those games.

Hendricks (1-3) allowed seven runs on 11 hits across 3.2 innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Braves. He struck out three and didn't issue any walks.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks probably doesn't want to see Atlanta again anytime soon, as he's now allowed 14 earned runs in 7.2 innings against the Braves this season. In his other three starts, the righty has allowed just five earned runs in 15 innings. Thankfully, Hendricks won't see Atlanta in his next scheduled start Monday, though he does line up against a potent Dodgers squad. The 31-year-old will carry a 7.54 ERA into that outing, and fantasy managers may want to tread carefully until Hendricks begins to look more like himself.

Hendricks (1-2) allowed two runs on six hits and one walk while striking out six in six innings to earn the win against the Brewers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks struggled mightily against Atlanta on Sunday, but he was much more effective Friday and got plenty of run support from the Cubs' offense to cruise to his first win of 2021. The right-hander began Friday's contest with five scoreless frames before giving up a pair of home runs and a double in the top of the sixth inning. However, he was able to finish the inning and recorded a quality start in the blowout win. Hendricks now carries a 5.68 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in 19 innings across his first four starts of the year. He'll attempt to remain effective on the road against Atlanta on Wednesday.

Hendricks (0-2) allowed seven runs on seven hits across four innings to take the loss against Atlanta on Sunday. He walked three and struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks had a first inning to forget, as he allowed six runs on four home runs. It was the first time in Cubs' history that a pitcher has allowed four home runs in the first inning, Tim Stebbins of NBC Sports Chicago reports. Hendricks was making his first start in 11 days after missing his last turn due to a non-COVID-19 illness, so he likely had a little rust to shake off, but it was still surprising to see the righty get hit so hard. His ERA shot up from 3.00 to 6.92 with the rough outing. Hendricks will look to get back on track Friday against the Brewers, a squad he blanked across six innings of work on April 7.

Hendricks (illness) will start in Sunday's series finale versus Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

A minor, non-COVID-19-related illness resulted in Hendricks being scratched ahead of his previously scheduled start Tuesday in Milwaukee, but he was cleared to make his next turn through the rotation after making a full recovery from the ailment. Hendricks was sharp in his last outing April 7 versus the Brewers, working six shutout innings while striking out six.
