Hendricks (6-8) allowed three runs (one earned) on seven hits across six innings to take the loss Thursday against the Pirates. He walked two and struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks pitched well enough, but the Cubs didn't score until the seventh inning and the veteran righty ended up with the loss. This was his first time covering at least six innings this month, and he lowered his season ERA to a solid 3.66. Hendricks has been his typical pitch-to-contact self this year with only 91 strikeouts across 132.2 innings, though he's still managed to be effective. He's in line to start again Wednesday against Atlanta on the road, which figures to be a challenging matchup.

Hendricks allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out three over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks has pitched into the sixth inning without completing it in three straight starts. He's allowed 10 runs (nine earned) over 16.1 innings in that span, though he's also recorded a 12:2 K:BB in September. The right-hander has continued to provide decent but not outstanding work this year, posting a 3.77 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 86:22 K:BB through 126.2 innings across 22 starts. He's lined up for a home start versus the Rockies in his next outing.

Hendricks (6-7) allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk over 5.2 innings Sunday, striking out four and earning a win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks tossed four shutout frames before Arizona finally broke through with a run in the fifth inning. He coughed up five runs (four earned) against the Giants in his last start but had a streak of five straight appearances with three or fewer runs allowed prior to that. Over his last seven starts, Hendricks has registered a 3.15 ERA, dropping his season mark to 3.71 through 121.1 frames. His next outing is currently projected to be a rematch in Arizona.

Hendricks did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing one unearned run on four hits and two walks over six innings in a 3-2 win over the Brewers. He struck out six.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks appeared poised for the win Wednesday, but a bases-loaded hit-by-pitch with two outs in the eighth inning tied the game 2-2, leaving the 33-year-old right-hander with a no-decision. Hendricks has allowed two runs or fewer in four of his last five starts, though he's only been able to pick up one win in that span. He's 5-7 on the season with a 3.59 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 74:20 K:BB across 19 starts (110.1 innings). Hendricks is currently lined up for a home matchup with the Giants in his next outing.

Hendricks (5-7) took the loss Friday, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk over 5.2 innings against the Pirates. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks allowed a leadoff single by Ke'Bryan Hayes followed by a Bryan Reynolds double that eventually led to both Pirates runs but held the Bucs in check for the rest of his outing. The crafty vet now has a 3.13 ERA over his past four starts and holds a solid 3.80 ERA with a 1.14 WHIP and 68 strikeouts over 104.1 innings on the season. His next start is currently scheduled to take place in the friendly confines Wednesday against Milwaukee.

Hendricks (5-6) allowed one run on five hits across six innings to earn the win Sunday against the Royals. He walked one and struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
It was a pretty typical stat line for Hendricks, as the veteran did a good job of controlling the Kansas City lineup even without a ton of strikeouts. The righty now has a solid 3.83 ERA this season, though he has only 64 strikeouts in 98.1 innings of work. Fantasy managers can still use Hendricks in the right spots, but they'll just need to look elsewhere for strikeouts. He lines up to take the mound again Friday against Pittsburgh, which looks like a promising matchup.

Hendricks (4-5) allowed three runs on eight hits across seven innings to take the loss Sunday against the Cardinals. He walked one and struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks logged a quality start but got no run support in the 3-0 loss. That dropped the righty to below .500, though he's pitched pretty well with a 3.49 ERA. Hendricks has now allowed three earned runs or fewer in 11 of his 13 starts this season. The righty isn't missing a ton of bats, as he only has 48 strikeouts across 77.1 innings, though that's never been a big part of his game. Hendricks will look to keep pitching well in his next scheduled start, which is projected for Friday against a tough Atlanta squad.

Hendricks (4-4) earned the win Tuesday, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk over 6.1 innings against the White Sox. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks was fantastic outside of the seventh inning, retiring 18 of the first 19 batters he faced before giving up two runs on three hits and a walk in the seventh and getting pulled from the contest. The outing was Hendricks' second consecutive quality start and his fifth quality start in his last seven appearances. During that stretch, Hendricks owns a 3.86 ERA and a 30:5 K:BB across 42 innings.

Hendricks allowed a run on five hits and struck out five without walking a batter in a no-decision versus the Nationals on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks turned in a quality start Wednesday after getting tagged for nine runs on 18 hits over 10.1 innings across his previous two outings. While his winless skid reached five starts, he's walked just one batter over than span. The right-hander has a 3.38 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 42:10 K:BB through 64 innings over 11 starts this season. Hendricks is tentatively lined up for a road start versus the White Sox next week.
