Hendricks (13-5) was tagged with the loss Thursday against the Brewers after allowing nine runs on 11 hits and a walk across four innings, striking out three.

EDGE Analysis

This was one of Hendricks' worst starts of his entire career, as the right-hander struggled to settle on the mound and allowed hard contact all game long. The nine runs allowed are a season-worst mark for him, while the 11 hits tied his worst season output in that category as well. He still owns a 4.15 ERA on the year and was coming off a stretch of six quality starts across seven appearances before the wheels came off in this one, however, so there's a chance this might have been nothing more than an outlier and a bad day for the eight-year veteran.

Hendricks allowed two runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out seven in six innings in Friday's loss to the White Sox. He didn't factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks has now recorded six quality starts in his last seven outings, and he ranks second in the majors with 17 quality starts in 2021. The only runs he allowed Friday came when he allowed four singles in the fourth inning, but he was forced to settle for the no-decision in the low-scoring game. The right-hander tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Brewers on Wednesday.

Hendricks (13-4) picked up the win in Saturday's 6-3 victory over the Nationals, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over seven innings. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander wasn't fazed by the depleted lineup behind him following a busy trade deadline for the Cubs, as he tossed 71 of 100 pitches for strikes en route to his fifth quality start in his last six outings and his 16th of the season. Hendricks will take a 3.71 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 94:26 K:BB through 128.2 innings into his next start.

Hendricks didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Reds after allowing five runs on nine hits and two walks while fanning four across 4.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks entered Monday's contest carrying a 2.19 ERA in three July starts, but the wheels came off in this one. He wasn't comfortable at any point of the game, resulting in the first time in his last 14 starts that he couldn't complete at least five innings. The right-hander will attempt to deliver a bounce-back performance in his next start, scheduled for the upcoming weekend series against the Nationals on the road.

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.
