Hendricks (4-6) allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits with four walks and four strikeouts over 5.1 innings pitched in Monday's loss at Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks has been one of the few underachievers on the Cubs this season, as six of their 19 losses are on his ledger. Those hoping for a rebound effort after a loss in Philadelphia last time out were disappointed to see the right-hander set a season high in walks while giving up the most runs he's allowed since May 17. Getting back on track in his next start won't be easy at home against the dangerous Pirates offense.

Hendricks (4-5) surrendered four hits, two earned runs and two walks over five innings in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Phillies. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old righty was pulled after 81 pitches, 55 of which he threw for strikes. The outing followed a complete-game victory and eight-inning stint, respectively, in Hendricks' last two trips to the mound. Hendricks gave up a solo homer to the struggling Ryan Howard in the fourth, marking the second consecutive start in which he'd yielded a gopher ball. His ERA remains an impressive 2.90 despite the loss, and he'll try to get back on the winning side of the ledger next Monday versus the Nationals.

Hendricks (4-4) gave up two runs on three hits over eight innings in Thursday's win against the Dodgers. He walked one and struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander's latest outing was about as impressive as the complete game he threw in his previous start. Hendricks was in control for eight innings and the Cubs backed him with four home runs. Before his most recent two starts, Hendricks longest outing of the season was 6.2 innings. His 0.92 WHIP through ten starts is fourth-best in all of baseball.

Hendricks (3-4) went the distance against the Phillies, surrendering just five hits and an earned run. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks turned in a gem, throwing 76 of 104 pitches for strikes, notching first-pitch strikes on 26 of 32 batters, and inducing 12 swings-and-misses. It was the 26-year-old's first complete game of the season, and the seven whiffs were his second-best total on the year as well. The effort lowered Hendricks' ERA to 2.93, a stellar figure that belies his current 3-4 record. While receiving less attention than his more publicized rotation mates, the Dartmouth product is enjoying a fine season in his own right, and will look to continue his success against the Dodgers next Thursday.

Hendricks fell to 2-4 after Sunday's loss to the Giants in which he allowed a single earned run with one strikeout and three walks across 5.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks allowed just two extra-base hits Sunday, but one of them unfortunately came from opposing pitcher Madison Bumgarner, who doubled in the only run of the game in the fifth inning. Hendricks has now failed to go six innings in either of his last two starts, but he continues to limit baserunnsers and is the owner of a solid 3.30 ERA to go along with a tidy WHIP of 1.06. He has failed to win a game since early May and will look to get back in the left column Saturday at the Phillies.

Hendricks (2-3) allowed four runs on five hits and two walks with six strikeouts over 5.1 innings in a loss Monday to the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks was cruising until the sixth inning, when he allowed a walk and three hits including a double to end his bid for a quality start. He gave up a home run for just the second time all season and allowed at least four runs for the first time since April 20 in St. Louis. Hendricks was nasty for the first five innings though, as he induced 10 swinging strikes and eight ground ball outs. Even with this minor setback, Hendricks owns a 3.51 ERA.

Hendricks (2-2) yielded three runs (two earned) on six hits over 6.2 innings in a no-decision against the Padres on Wednesday. He also struck out eight and walked one.

EDGE Analysis

That's certainly good enough to win most days with the Cubs offense. The eight strikeouts for Hendricks was a season high, as he threw 66 of his 102 pitches for strikes, 22 of which were called strikes. The Cubs offense gave Hendricks a one-run lead by the time he departed, but reliever Pedro Strop gave up a three-run homer. San Diego won 7-4. Hendricks will make his next start Tuesday versus the Brewers.

Hendricks (2-2) shut the Nationals out over six innings Thursday, giving up just two hits and two walks while striking out four in a winning effort.

EDGE Analysis

Five starts into the season, Hendricks is delivering more or less what we expected from him: steady, yet unspectacular ratios. His strikeout rate is a bit better than he gets credit for, but Hendricks' real improvement this year has been in the form of generating ground balls -- his current 60.5 percent rate is among the very best in all of baseball. He may not be the most exciting fantasy asset out there, but he's getting the job done.

Hendricks will have his next start pushed back to later next week after Saturday's start was rained out, affording the Cubs an unforeseen off day, MLB.com's Carrie Muskat reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was scheduled to pitch in the Cubs' first series next week against the division rival Pirates, but the Cubs can now push him back to Thursday against the Nationals, while getting Jason Hammel, Jake Arrieta and Jon Lester taking the mound in the Pittsburgh series. There are not major fantasy ramifications from this move, but owners in leagues with daily moves should make note that Hendricks' next start date has changed.

Hendricks took a no-decision as he allowed one run on two hits and a walk over five innings Tuesday against the Brewers. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

Hendricks was rolling and only needed 69 pitches to get through five nice innings against the Brewers, but he was lifted for a pinch hitter as Joe Maddon decided to trust his excellent bullpen. Hendricks has been solid, with a 3.52 ERA and 2.51 FIP, but he's averaging just over 5.2 innings per start as the Cubs have shown a quick trigger finger during pinch hit opportunities in his starts thus far.
