Kyle Hendricks limited the Padres to five hits over seven shutout innings in a win on Tuesday. In just his second big league start, Hendricks shut down an impotent Padres offense for his first career victory. The right-hander walked three while striking out five. Hendricks pitched well enough to earn a longer look, and his next start will likely come this weekend against the Cardinals.

Cubs recalled RHP Kyle Hendricks from Triple-A Iowa. Hendricks will return to make the start Tuesday night against the Padres. The 24-year-old has a decent chance to stick in Chicago's rotation the rest of the way and is worth picking up in NL-only leagues.

Cubs manager Rick Renteria announced Friday that Kyle Hendricks will start for the Cubs on Tuesday against the Padres. Renteria has still yet to confirm who will open the second half of the season as the fifth starter in the rotation, though Tsuyoshi Wada remains the most likely candidate. Hendricks gave up four runs over six innings in a spot start before the All-Star break.
