Hendricks didn't factor into the decision Saturday versus the Cardinals despite equaling a season high with 12 strikeouts and giving up just two earned runs on five hits over seven innings.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old righty was masterful overall, notching a whopping 22 swinging strikes and not surrendering a walk for the second straight start. He stumbled twice overall, surrendering solo homers to Brandon Moss and Jedd Gyorko in the sixth and seventh innings, respectively. Hendricks now has three straight quality starts and has given up just three earned runs in the 23.1 innings over that span. He'll look to get back in the win column when he takes on the Rockies in Coors Field next Friday.

Hendricks (11-7) allowed one run on three hits while striking out four over 7.1 innings to earn the win Sunday at the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks was masterful while the offense gave him just enough support to help him earn his 11th decision of 2016. He's now held opponents to one or fewer earned runs in six of his last seven starts to lower his ERA to 2.17 on the year. He's now posted an ERA of 2.46 or lower in two of his three seasons with the Cubs. He'll make his next start Saturday against the Cardinals.

Hendricks (10-7) allowed seven hits and three walks and struck out five in a complete game shutout Monday over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks used a season high 123 pitches (78 strikes) to pick up the shutout, in which he induced a sharp 11 swinging strikes and 11 groundouts. He has now held the opponent without an earned run in six of his past eight outings, an incredible run in which he has gone 5-1 and lowered his ERA from 2.94 to 2.22. He now owns the best ERA in the Cubs rotation, better than both Jake Arrieta's 2.75 and Jon Lester's 2.95.

Hendricks (9-7) allowed three runs on six hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over 5.2 innings in a loss Tuesday to the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks hadn't allowed an earned run since June 29th, but had his scoreless streak snapped when Jose Abreu hit an RBI single in the first inning. Still, Hendricks was nasty, as he induced 14 strikeouts and seven groundouts and threw 64 strikes in 97 pitches. Even with the hiccup, Hendricks still owns a slick 2.39 ERA.

Hendricks (9-6) threw 6.1 innings shutout innings Wednesday, striking out seven and earning the win against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks continues his phenomenal 2016 campaign with his shutdown performance at home against the reigning NL champions. The 26-year-old Dartmouth graduate has dominated hitters despite his lack of velocity (his fastball averages less than 90 mph), and has managed to strike out 96 hitters over 18 starts. Hendricks 9-6 record is actually worse than one might think given his 2.27 ERA and the Cubs dominant offense that's leading the NL in runs. Hendricks is slated to face the rival White Sox in his next start.

Hendricks (8-6) fired six innings of three-hit, scoreless ball in Friday's 6-0 victory over the Rangers. He surrendered two walks and struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old righty hasn't given up an earned run over the last three appearances, one of which was a two-inning spot relief stint on July 7. Hendricks has actually only given up three earned runs over his last 31 innings, and has lowered his ERA from 3.05 to 2.41 during that span. He'll look to build on his current three-start winning streak when he takes on the Mets next Wednesday.

Hendricks improved to 7-6 by pitching 5.1 innings against the Reds on Monday. He gave up just four hits and one run (zero earned), but only struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Most fantasy owners will take it - improvements to WHIP, ERA, and wins are always nice, but Hendricks threw 100 pitches and couldn't get out of the sixth inning before he was pulled with an 8-0 lead. He'll likely make one more start before the All-Star break, this weekend in Pittsburgh.

Hendricks (6-6) dealt 6.2 innings, allowing two runs, eight hits and two walks while striking out five in Wednesday's win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Although it wasn't his best performance, Anthony Rizzo's three-run homer in the top of the first allowed Hendricks to settle in early and cruise to his sixth victory. The righty threw 80 of his season-high 117 pitches for strikes while tying his season high for hits allowed. Hendricks' 1.05 WHIP through 15 starts is good for 10th-best in the NL.

Hendricks didn't factor into the decision against the Marlins on Friday, despite giving up only a hit and striking out five over five innings. He did surrender four runs (none earned) and four walks.

EDGE Analysis

It was an interesting stat line for Hendricks, who gave up a grand slam to Justin Bour that nevertheless left his earned run ledger unscathed due to an error by Addison Russell. Hendricks was mostly effective otherwise, managing first-pitch strikes on 14 of the 22 hitters he faced. His control was an issue however, and was the biggest culprit in the 26-year-old throwing 105 pitches in just five frames. The right-hander has put together a strong month overall that's included a 2.45 ERA, and will look to close it out with a victory against the Reds next Wednesday.

Hendricks allowed just one run across six strong innings in Sunday's win over the Pirates, striking out a career-high 12 and walking not a single batter.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks was excellent Sunday, as he threw 20 of 26 first-pitch strikes, pounded the zone at a 67% clip and likely was only pulled after six frames due to his elevated pitch count. Hendricks is now 5-6 on the season, but his strong 2.94 ERA and sharp 1.02 WHIP indicate that more wins are on the horizon. Further, his K/9 rate is up to 8.2 for the season, but he has made strides as a strikeout pitcher this year and could have even more to offer in that regard. He will look to keep it rolling Friday at the Marlins.
