Hendricks' (hand) MRI revealed no new injuries, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is good news for the right-hander, although the Cubs still don't have a timetable for his return following the development. It seems like they're just going to wait a few days before attempting to get Hendricks back on track, although more information should become available in the coming days.

Hendricks (hand) will undergo an MRI on Wednesday, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

After experiencing a setback in his most recent side session, the right-hander will head in for further testing to get to the root of his problem. Hendricks' plan moving forward is expected to be revealed Friday, which should shed light on whether this is a short-term setback or a problem with long-term ramifications.

Hendricks (hand) is not expected to return to the Cubs' rotation over the weekend, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks' side session Tuesday didn't go as planned as he experienced some discomfort in his hand while throwing, so he'll need some more time off to recover before he is ready to rejoin to the starting rotation. While he's been ruled out for the weekend, it remains unclear when he'll be ready to come off the disabled list seeing as the Cubs don't plan on activating him until he is throwing completely pain free.

Hendricks was cleared to resume throwing on the side Tuesday, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks was re-examined Monday, and apparently everything checked out as he is now expected to resume throwing, putting him one step closer to rejoining the big-league rotation. Barring any setbacks, Hendricks said he could be back for this weekend's series against the Pirates.

Hendricks was placed on the 10-day disabled list with right hand tendinitis, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is the first word of an injury nagging the right-hander, although it could help to explain some of his recent struggles if the injury stems back to then. The severity of the issue is unknown at this time as well, so for now he only seems to be on pace for one missed start. Mike Montgomery will fill the void in the rotation Friday against Colorado, but he could be tabbed for more starts if Hendricks' hand takes longer to heal.

Hendricks pitched four innings, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three in a no-decision Sunday vs. St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

Through 11 starts, last year's ERA champ owns a career-high in ERA (4.09) and WHIP (1.20). His 34.1 percent walk rate is a far cry from the 23.2 mark Hendricks post in 2016. The 27-year-old's last two starts (nine runs over nine innings) have been extremely disappointing considering the favorable matchups. San Diego (Monday's opponent) is MLB's worst offense, and St. Louis is below average. That said, Hendricks is no longer a member of fantasy's "set it and forget it" class of pitchers. He'll make his next start at home Friday against Colorado.

Hendricks (4-2) picked up the win Wednesday against the Giants. He pitched seven innings, and allowed two earned runs on five hits and no walks. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks has been rolling lately, as he's allowed two earned runs or less in six straight starts. While last year's 2.13 ERA may be an unrealistic goal to repeat, Hendricks is showing that he's still a very valuable fantasy commodity. He lines up to face the Padres Monday in his next start, and he should be a solid play against a poor offense.

Hendricks (3-2) allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings in Wednesday's 7-5 win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

After a bumpy beginning to the campaign, Hendricks has now delivered quality starts in four of his last five trips to the mound. Control remains an issue for him, however, as he's walked multiple batters in seven straight starts and his 3.6 BB/9 is a far cry from the 2.1 and 2.2 marks he posted the last two seasons. The 27-year-old will look for win No. 4 on Monday at home against the Giants.

Hendricks (2-2) went 6.1 innings in Colorado on Wednesday, allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out seven, but he was stuck with the loss anyway.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks had the poor fortune of being on the wrong end of an ultra-rare Coors Field shutout, but he still delivered another quality outing, continuing to put his early-April struggles in the past. The 27-year-old righty's ERA is down to 3.40, which is probably a closer approximation of his true level than that insane 2.13 mark from last year. Hendricks is a solid arm who's basically universally fantasy relevant, but he's not the kind of superstar his 2016 stats would imply.

Hendricks (2-1) allowed no runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five over 5.1 innings, but earned no decision Friday over the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks stymied the Yankees bats, though he burned through 94 pitches, keeping him from getting through the sixth inning. After failing to notch a quality start in his first three outings of the year, he's rebounded by allowing just two runs over his last three starts to lower his ERA to 3.51, and although he may not post the amazing stats he did in 2016, he'll continue to be a solid fantasy option. He'll make his next start Wednesday against the Rockies.
