Hendriks notched his eighth hold in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Indians, getting two outs on two pitches to close out the eighth inning.
EDGE Analysis
Hendriks came on in relief of Daniel Coulombe with one out and one on and retired the potent duo of Edwin Encarnacion and Jose Ramirez on a lineout and groundout, respectively. The 28-year-old right-hander has found a semblance of consistency in recent appearances after a mostly rocky June, generating scoreless appearances in six of his last seven trips to the mound.

Hendriks fired a scoreless inning in Monday's 7-2 loss to the White Sox, giving up one hit and two walks. He also recorded a strikeout.
EDGE Analysis
Hendriks didn't make it easy on himself, as some control issues after he'd gotten two quick outs helped lead to him firing 26 pitches overall in the sixth. The 28-year-old has gotten July off to a solid start after a rocky June (7.30 ERA over 12.1 innings), putting together a pair of scoreless one-inning outings. The right-hander has served as a modest source of wins (three) and holds (seven) for fantasy owners this season, and he's likely to continue seeing a robust workload going forward.

Hendriks notched his seventh hold of the season in Friday's 3-0 win over the White Sox, firing a scoreless sixth inning and recording two strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran right-hander was the first of several relievers to help preserve the slim lead after starter Jharel Cotton exited after five frames with a blister. Hendriks' strong outing was also a welcome sight from an individual standpoint, as he'd surrendered six earned runs over his previous seven trips to the mound. The 28-year-old's June hasn't been for the faint of heart, as he's offset a 5.56 ERA, a blown save and a loss with three holds, two victories and 19 strikeouts over 11.1 innings.

Hendriks (3-1) gave up an earned run on two hits and a walk over one inning in Thursday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Yankees. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
Hendriks notched his third victory of the season despite allowing a go-ahead sacrifice fly to Starlin Castro in the top half of the 10th, as Khris Davis knocked in Rajai Davis and Chad Pinder in the home half of the frame for the win. The 28-year-old right-hander has struggled despite his favorable won-loss record, giving up an earned run in each of his last four outings and fifth of the last six overall. He offers plenty of strikeout upside, but he's now sporting a 5.63 ERA over the eight innings encompassing his eight June appearances.

Hendriks fired two scoreless innings in Wednesday's 7-5 extra-inning loss to the Blue Jays, recording three strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander continues to be an excellent source of strikeouts, as he's now racked up multiple whiffs in three straight outings, and in five of his last six appearances overall. Hendriks has compiled five holds and two wins on the season as well and represents one of manager Bob Melvin's most trusted options out of what has been an inconsistent bullpen.

Hendriks (2-0) fired 1.1 scoreless innings in Saturday's 10-4 win over the Nationals, allowing a hit and a walk while striking out three.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran reliever posted his sixth straight scoreless outing while continuing to rack up the strikeouts, as he's now notched 13 whiffs over the 7.1 innings encompassing his last seven appearances overall. Hendriks has also lowered his ERA from a season-high 11.57 to his current 3.04 figure since April 19.

Hendriks fired a scoreless seventh inning in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Angels, recording a strikeout.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran reliever extended his scoreless streak to 11 innings with Wednesday's effort, in which he needed a scant nine pitches to dispose of Andrelton Simmons, Danny Espinosa and Juan Graterol. Hendriks has stingy with both runs and contact in general, giving up just one hit over his last 7.2 innings.

Hendriks (1-0) fired two scoreless innings in Monday's 3-2 win over the Angels, giving up just one hit to notch his first win of the season.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old right-hander has put together an excellent stretch of appearances since giving a pair of earned runs apiece in three straight mid-April outings. Hendriks has compiled 10 consecutive scoreless innings across his last eight trips to the mound, posting an impressive 10:1 K:BB over that span.

Hendriks fired a scoreless ninth inning in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the Rangers, recording a strikeout.
EDGE Analysis
Hendriks needed only 11 pitches, eight of which he threw for strikes, to close out Oakland's blowout win. The 28-year-old right-hander likely needed a low-leverage situation like Wednesday's to restore some confidence, considering he'd given up two earned runs apiece in his three prior trips to the mound. Hendriks' ERA remains an unsightly 9.53, but Wednesday's effort closely resembled the dominant pair of appearances that the veteran reliever opened the season with.

Hendriks gave up two earned runs on three hits and one walk over one inning in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old righty entered the game with the luxury of an 8-0 lead but ran into trouble, sandwiching a free pass to Raul Mondesi and a double to Mike Moustakas around a flyball out by Alex Gordon. A subsequent infield single by Lorenzo Cain and bloop hit by Eric Hosmer accounted for the two runs that Hendriks allowed, and to his credit, he was able to limit further damage by retiring Drew Butera and Brandon Moss with Cain and Hosmer on to end the inning. It was the first rocky outing of the season for the reliever, who'd pitched 2.1 scoreless innings and notched four strikeouts over his first pair of appearances.
