Hendricks allowed one earned run over six innings in Saturday's loss to the Brewers. He gave up eight hits, posted a 6:1 K:BB, and did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks allowed one earned run or fewer for the seventh time in 12 starts, but the Cubs' offense could not do enough damage to earn him a win Saturday. Hendricks is set to make one more start before the regular season concludes, next week Thursday against the Cardinals.

Hendricks (7-5) allowed one run on six hits and one walk while striking out five across 7.2 innings to earn the win Saturday against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks was firing a shutout until giving up a solo homer to Matt Carpenter in the eighth inning, while the offense gave him enough support to help him earn his seventh victory of the season. He's held opponents to three or fewer earned runs in every start he's made since July 24, and he continues to be a strong fantasy producer. He'll make his next start Thursday against the Brewers.

Hendricks (6-5) was tagged with the loss Sunday against the Brewers. He gave up four hits and three earned runs over six innings, while walking two and striking out seven.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks pitched pretty well, but the Cubs once again struggled to score runs against Milwaukee pitching in a 3-1 defeat. Hendricks has now logged six straight quality starts, though he only has two wins to show for it. He'll look to keep pitching well and pick up a win in his next scheduled start Saturday against the Cardinals.

Hendricks allowed two runs on five hits and no walks across 6.2 innings in a no-decision Tuesday against the Pirates. He recorded two strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks allowed just four men past first base on the day, with his only real mistake coming on a two-run home run by Jordan Luplow in the second inning. He threw first-pitch strikes to 19 of 25 batters faced and induced a whopping 13 groundball outs. Hendricks has clearly hit his stride of late, delivering five consecutive quality starts and allowing two runs or fewer in four of those. His good form has lowered his ERA back down to a tidy 3.29 ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Brewers.

Hendricks (6-4) allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits with three walks and five strikeouts over 6.2 innings to beat the Braves on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks was handed a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning and kept his team in front the rest of the way en route to a 6-2 victory. He has now logged quality starts in four consecutive appearances while posting a 2.10 ERA and 25:9 K:BB over 25.2 innings. Hendricks' next start is scheduled for next Thursday in Pittsburgh.

Hendricks (5-4) allowed two runs on six hits while striking out eight across seven innings to earn the win Saturday against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks gave up a first inning homer to Rhys Hoskins, but shut down the Phillies over the next six innings to earn his fifth victory in the campaign. He finished off a solid month of August in which he allowed nine runs in five starts to lower his ERA from 3.80 to 3.45, and he's proven to be a strong fantasy option with limited downside. He'll make his next start Thursday against the Braves.

Hendricks allowed three runs on six hits with two walks and six strikeouts over six innings in Sunday's no-decision against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks was handed a 3-0 lead in the third inning, but gave it all back by allowing one run each in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. He still logged a sixth consecutive start with no more than three runs allowed and sports a 2.45 ERA in 33 innings over that span. Hendricks will have a great opportunity to keep that streak going in his next start, as he draws a road date with Philadelphia's 29th-ranked offense.

Hendricks gave up five hits and four walks while striking out six over six scoreless innings in a no-decision against the Reds on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
While he did issue four free passes, tying a season high, Hendricks was able to match zeroes on the scoreboard with opposing starter Luis Castillo. Hendricks got the Reds to look at 17 called strikes and he limited them to all of four flyballs. The right-hander hasn't picked up a win since May 24 -- he spent a month and a half on the DL with a hand injury -- but Hendricks has looked more like himself lately, allowing just six runs over 27 innings since his return in late July. Hendricks lines up to face the Blue Jays at home this weekend.

Hendricks allowed only one run on five hits and three walks over 4.2 innings Wednesday, coming away with a no-decision in a 3-1 loss to the Giants. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
He was locked in a 1-1 tie with Madison Bumgarner, but Hendricks' inefficiency elevated his pitch count and he hit the showers after throwing 96 pitches (58 strikes). The right-hander has only one quality start in his last six trips to the mound -- in fact, he's only worked more than five innings once during that stretch -- but since the All-Star break he's put together a solid 2.57 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 18:5 K:BB in 21 innings. He'll look for win No. 5 on Tuesday at home against the Reds.

Hendricks (4-4) gave up three runs on five hits -- including two home runs -- and two walks while striking out five over seven innings in a loss to the Nationals on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Daniel Murphy smacked a pair of homers against Hendricks, bringing his total to 11 allowed in 78 innings this year. Hendricks allowed 15 homers in 190 innings last season. However, aside from those two aforementioned mistakes, Hendricks was solid in his third start back from the DL. He only went a combined 9.1 innings in his first two outings following the seven-week absence, so it's encouraging to see him be more efficient in this one. The right-hander lines up for a favorable road matchup against the Giants his next time out.
