Hendricks lasted five innings in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Reds, getting a no decision after allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits and a pair of walks while striking out six.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks allowed one run in the first and another in the fourth before running into some trouble in the bottom of the sixth inning. He allowed an error, a walk, a single and a double before being pulled for Randy Rosario. It wasn't a vintage performance, though his six strikeouts were just one less than his season high. He's expected to next take the field Friday against the Giants.

Hendricks gave up four runs (three earned) on six hits and zero walks while striking out six Sunday against the White Sox, taking his third loss of the year.

EDGE Analysis

He took a 3-2 lead into the sixth inning, but allowed two more runs to score in the sixth before finishing the frame. As is typically the case for Hendricks, throwing strikes was not an issue, but the White Sox made their hits count in this one. Hendricks now has four straight quality starts (six on the year), but has gone 2-2 over that stretch. He next projects to take the hill Friday in Cincinnati.

Hendricks (2-2) took the loss Tuesday against the Rockies, allowing three earned runs over 7.2 innings. He gave up four hits and two walks while striking out five.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks pitched fairly well in this one but was outdueled by Jon Gray, who allowed just a single run over seven innings. The righty was done in by three Colorado solo home runs, and he's now allowed multiple homers in three of his six starts this season. Hendricks will look to limit the long ball and get back into the win column in his next start Monday against the Marlins, a team he held to just one run over six innings back on March 30.

Hendricks (1-1) got the win against the Rockies on Friday, giving up three earned runs on five hits, striking out six and walking none as the Cubs topped Colorado 16-5.

EDGE Analysis

The Cubs offense stole the show by dropping 16 runs on the Rockies but Hendricks held up his end of the bargain as well, limiting a tough Colorado lineup to three earned runs and cruising to his first win of the season. He'll carry a 4.09 ERA, a 1.36 WHIP and a 19:7 K:BB into his next start against the Brewers on April 26.

Hendricks (0-1) was a tough-luck loser Thursday against the Pirates, as he allowed just two earned runs over six innings of work. He gave up five hits and three walks while striking out seven.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks was good but Pittsburgh starter Trevor Williams was just a little better, holding the Cubs to a single run in his six innings of work. All of the damage against Hendricks came on a pair of solo home runs, and he's now given up four home runs through his first three starts. On a more positive note, the seven strikeouts more than doubled his season total. Hendricks will look to keep pitching well and hopefully get his first win of the season Tuesday against the Cardinals at home.

Hendricks settled for a no-decision in the Cubs' 5-4 win over the Brewers on Friday, giving up nine hits and four earned runs with a walk and a strikeout in five innings.

EDGE Analysis

After shutting down the Marlins in his first start of the year, Hendricks proved a bit more vulnerable against the Brewers as he surrendered the four runs on a pair of two-run homers to Eric Thames and Travis Shaw. The outing raised his ERA from 1.50 to 4.09 and opponents are hitting .283 off him so far this year, so Hendricks will look to get back on track in his next start against the Pirates on Thursday.

Hendricks took a no-decision Thursday against the Brewers, as he allowed four earned runs over five innings of work. He gave up nine hits and a walk, while striking out one.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks took a step back from his first start of the season, when he allowed just a single run on four hits over six innings against the Marlins. He was victimized by a pair of a two-run home runs from Eric Thames and Travis Shaw. Hendricks will look to limit the long ball and put together a better start his next time out Thursday at home against Pittsburgh.

Hendricks next scheduled start has been moved to Friday against the Brewers, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks had been scheduled to start Thursday's series opener versus Milwaukee. He'll still face the Brewers as planned, but will have an extra day to rest, as Tuesday's game against the Reds was postponed, resulting in Chicago's rotation being pushed back a day.

Hendricks gave up one run on four hits and three walks over six innings while striking out five but had to settle for a no-decision in Friday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander looked good in his first outing of the season, throwing 55 of 88 pitches for strikes, but Hendricks had no chance at a win in a game that wasn't decided until the 17th inning. He'll next take the mound Thursday in Milwaukee.

Hendricks is slated to start the Cubs' second game of the regular season Friday in Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks looked locked in this spring, finishing with a 2.37 ERA and 23 strikeouts in 19 innings. The jump in strikeouts was a nice development for a player with a career K/9 of 8.1, though small sample size caveats have to be applied. The smart money says that Hendricks will see his strikeout rate come down closer to his career mark, but he still figures to be a very strong fantasy pitcher who delivers above-average production in wins, ERA and WHIP
