Hendriks gave up a run on four hits while striking out five over seven innings Wednesday against the Twins. Hendriks filled in admirably for Yordano Ventura, who was skipped due to a stiff back. The Australian native was 1-0 with a 6.08 ERA in three starts for the Blue Jays earlier this year. It remains to be seen whether Ventura will be able to make his next start Monday versus the Rangers. If not, Hendriks has earned another turn.

Hendriks will fill Yordano Ventura's (back) open spot in the rotation Wednesday against the Twins, Blair Kerkhoff of The Kansas City Star reports. Facing the organization (the Twins) that signed him out of Australia, Hendriks will look to improve upon the three nods made for the Blue Jays earlier this season (nine runs on 12 hits and four walks to go with eight strikeouts in 13.1 innings). He's fared much better since he was dealt to the Royals' organization before the trade deadline, posting a 2.83 ERA, 1.114 WHIP, and 35:6 BB:K in 35 innings (five starts) at Triple-A Omaha.

Royals acquired RHP Liam Hendriks and C Erik Kratz from the Blue Jays in exchange for 3B Danny Valencia. Hendriks holds a 6.08 ERA in three starts in the majors this season but boasts a 2.33 mark at Triple-A. He'll provide some rotation depth for the Royals.

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Royals have acquired Liam Hendriks from the Blue Jays. It's not clear at this point what the Blue Jays will receive in return.

Liam Hendriks got the no-decision, allowing two runs in six innings as the Blue Jays defeated the Rays 3-2 on Wednesday. Hendriks pitched well, but made one mistake which resulted in a Wil Myers two-run home run in the second inning to knot the game at two apiece. Overall, Hendriks allowed three hits, walked none, and struck out five. The right-hander has two solid outings under his belt since joining the rotation. Hendriks will face the Tigers on the road in his next start, a tall order.

Liam Hendriks yielded one run in 5 2/3 innings Friday in a 3-2 win over the Athletics. Hendriks lived dangerously during the outing, giving up three hits and three walks and a number of long fly balls, but he gave the Blue Jays exactly what they were hoping for after his call-up. It's unclear how long he'll stick in the rotation, but he's not a great fantasy bet.

However, it's hard to trust him given his career 6.06 mark over 156 big league innings.
