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.

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 did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing four runs on 10 hits over 5.2 innings against the Yankees. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks set season high's in runs (four) allowed and hits (10) in Sunday's start and was pulled from the contest after allowing back-to-back homers to Anthony Volpe and Kyle Higashioka in the fifth, the third and fourth long balls that Hendricks has given up this season. Despite the tough outing, Hendricks owns a strong 3.04 ERA through nine starts (53.1 innings) to go along with a 32:10 K:BB.

Hendricks allowed four runs on 10 hits across 5.2 innings and did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Yankees. He had no walks and struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks displayed his typical good control but allowed a season-high 10 hits in an uneven performance. He had allowed a total of 10 hits across 13 innings in his last two starts, so Sunday's outing may just be a blip on the radar. Hendricks has been solid overall with a 3.04 ERA and 1.03 WHIP across 53.1 innings this year. The veteran is penciled in to start Chicago's first game after the All-Star break on Friday.

Hendricks didn't factor in the decision Tuesday in Milwaukee after he allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and one walk across six innings. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks scattered one walk and four singles as he produced his third consecutive quality start, but he missed out on the victory since Chicago's bullpen blew a late lead. The 33-year-old struggled to a 4.78 ERA over the previous two seasons, but he has a 2.64 ERA and 0.94 WHIP through eight starts in 2023 after missing the early part of the campaign while rehabbing a strained shoulder. Hendricks tentatively lines up for one more start before the All-Star break Sunday against the Yankees.

Hendricks (3-3) allowed three runs on six hits and struck out four without walking a batter over seven innings, taking the loss Thursday versus the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks gave up a leadoff home run to Kyle Schwarber to start the game and a two-run single to Bryce Harper in the third. Aside from those missteps, it was a solid outing for Hendricks, who earned his fourth quality start in seven appearances. His three-game winning streak was snapped due to the lack of run support. Hendricks now has a 2.81 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 22:9 K:BB through 41.2 innings this season. He's projected for a road start in Milwaukee his next time out.

Hendricks (3-2) allowed three runs (one earned) on two hits across 6.1 innings to earn the win Wednesday against the Pirates. He had three walks and two strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks cruised to his third straight win, and the righty allowed two earned runs or fewer in all three starts. The veteran isn't missing a ton of bats, with only 18 strikeouts across 34.2 innings this season, but that's never really been his game. Hendricks will carry a strong 2.60 ERA into his next outing, which will likely come in the middle of next week against the Phillies after the Cubs get back from their weekend trip to London.
