Hendricks picked up a quality start in Friday's win over the Nationals but did not factor into the decision. He lasted six innings and allowed a pair of runs on eight hits while striking out five.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks wasn't dominant but limited the damage, scattering the Nationals' hits and only allowing one extra-base knock. The outing lowered his season ERA to 4.02. He'll next take the hill Wednesday in a key divisional matchup against the Brewers.

Hendricks (8-9) picked up the win Saturday against the Padres, as he allowed four runs over 5.2 innings. He gave up five hits and struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks cruised through the first three innings but ran into some trouble in the fourth, as he allowed three runs in the frame, including one on a home run by Austin Hedges. However, a five-run second inning by the Cubs gave the righty all the support he would need to grab the win. Hendricks still has a disappointing 4.07 ERA after recording a cumulative 2.51 mark over the previous two seasons, but he could be a good source of wins the rest of the way with a strong lineup behind him. He'll look to record another win his next start, which is slated for Friday against the Nationals.

Hendricks threw 4.2 innings in Thursday's victory over the Cardinals, allowing three runs on nine hits, a walk and a hit by pitch, striking out four. He exited with the lead but did not pitch the five innings required to get the win.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks was in trouble throughout and was perhaps lucky to not give up more runs. He was fortunate that none of the his 10 other baserunners were on base when Tommy Pham hit a solo shot in the second inning. It was hardly a vintage performance from Hendricks, who's having the worst season of his career. His ERA now sits at a career-high 3.99, while his 18.3 percent strikeout rate and 46.5 percent groundball rate are each lower than all of his three previous full seasons. He's also already given up a career-high 18 homers. He'll look to right the ship Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

Hendricks allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk across five innings during Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Tigers. He struck out two and did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks totaled only 78 pitches (54 strikes) but was pulled in favor of pinch-hitter Tommy La Stella in the bottom of the fifth inning, who started a three-run rally and which got Hendricks off the hook for the loss. The 28-year-old has a 1-4 record with 6.75 ERA and 1.67 WHIP in six starts since the start of June, and is currently scheduled to take the mound at San Francisco next Monday.

Hendricks will take the hill for the Cubs' first game of the week Tuesday against the Tigers, but isn't expected to pick up a second start over the weekend versus the Reds, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Team off days Monday and Thursday would allow manager Joe Maddon to temporarily streamline the rotation if desired, but it appears the Cubs are planning to dole out one start apiece to each of their rotation members during the five-game week. Tyler Chatwood (4.54 ERA, 8.1 BB/9) has been the most unreliable of the Cubs' starters this season, but Hendricks' recent form hasn't been much better, which may explain why Maddon may not be eager to go with a four-man staff this week. During his five June starts, Hendricks failed to cover more than six innings and posted a 7.03 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 18:15 K:BB.

Hendricks (5-7) took the loss Thursday against the Reds, as he allowed four earned runs on three hits and four walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks actually left the game with a chance for the win, but Cubs reliever Randy Rosario allowed a grand slam to Jesse Winker that put Cincinnati up 5-2 and stuck Hendricks with four earned runs for the day. The 28-year-old righty walked a season-high four hitters for the second straight game, which is something he'll have to cut down if he wants to get back into the win column. Hendricks will take his next turn Wednesday in Los Angeles against the Dodgers.

Hendricks (4-6) took the loss Sunday against the Pirates despite allowing just one earned run on three hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

Hedricks allowed a home run to Josh Harrison to begin the game but then proceeded to shut down Pittsburgh for the rest of his outing. Unfortunately for him, the Chicago offense didn't score while he was in the game. Hendricks will take a solid 3.48 ERA into his next start, which is scheduled for Saturday in St. Louis.

Hendricks (4-5) allowed five earned runs over five innings in a losing effort Tuesday against the Phillies. He gave up five hits and three walks while striking out five.

EDGE Analysis

The five earned runs are the most Hendricks has allowed this season, while the five innings pitched matches a season low. The 28-year-old still carries a solid 3.59 ERA and will look to shake off this subpar performance quickly. He lines up to face the Pirates for the third time this season in his next scheduled start Sunday.

Hendricks (4-4) took the loss Wednesday against the Pirates, allowing two earned runs over five innings of work. He gave up seven hits and a walk while striking out one.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks allowed a leadoff home run to Josh Harrison and another run in the second inning but settled down from there and pitched reasonably well, though the Cubs' offense offered little support in a 2-1 loss. The righty only threw 71 pitches before getting pulled for a pinch hitter, so he should be fairly fresh for his next start, which is scheduled for Tuesday against the Phillies. Hendricks will take a strong 3.19 ERA into that tilt.

Hendricks (4-3) allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out seven over seven innings in a win over the Giants on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

He gave up a solo homer to Gorkys Hernandez in the fourth inning but was in cruise control for most of the afternoon, allowing a season low in hits while recording 21 outs on 88 pitches. The 28-year-old Hendricks continues to post stellar ratios on the strength of pinpoint control with help from an above-average groundball rate and strong defense behind him. While the K-rate remains modest, Kendricks has been missing more bats in his last three starts (19 strikeouts in 18 innings). He draws a road matchup with the Pirates next week.
