Impact Hendricks needed just 81 pitches to work into the eighth inning, finishing with arguably his best start of the season. Over his final five outings, the veteran logged two quality starts while yielding two earned runs or fewer four times. He'll conclude a disappointing campaign with a 5.92 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 87:43 K:BB across 130.2 innings.

Effective in win Sunday Hendricks (4-11) allowed one run on two hits across six innings to earn the win Sunday against the Rockies. He walked three and struck out seven.
Impact Hendricks hasn't been very good lately, as he came into this start with a 6.10 ERA and 1.89 WHIP across his last five outings, but he turned back the clock Sunday with a vintage performance. The veteran righty came within one strikeout of his season high, and the two hits allowed tied for his fewest allowed in a start this year. The surprisingly effective appearance might be the last start of the season for Hendricks, however, as Justin Steele (elbow) appears ready to rejoin the rotation in the next few days. When that happens, Hendricks could be pushed back into a long-relief role.

Logs another short outing Hendricks allowed two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out two batters over 4.1 innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Monday.
Impact Hendricks got through four scoreless frames but allowed four straight batters to reach base with one out in the fifth. That earned him the hook, marking the third time in his past four outings that he's been unable to complete five innings. Hendricks has posted a 7.47 ERA and 2.17 WHIP over 15.2 frames during that stretch while walking more batters (10) than he's struck out (nine). He may move back to the bullpen when Justin Steele (elbow) is able to return from the injured list.

Takes 11th loss Hendricks (3-11) allowed two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Pirates.
Impact Hendricks rebounded from his poor outing in Pittsburgh last Wednesday, but he didn't get any run support this time around. This was just the second time in eight outings since the All-Star break where Hendricks was able to avoid giving up a home run. He's now at a 6.60 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 74:33 K:BB through 107.2 innings over 25 appearances (20 starts) this season. With Justin Steele (elbow) out, Hendricks is likely to stay in the rotation for another turn, though that lines up to be a brutal road matchup versus the Dodgers.

Starting Tuesday Hendricks will start Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact Hendricks looked to be destined to head to the bullpen due to the return of Jordan Wicks. However, Justin Steele was scratched due to elbow soreness, pushing Hendricks into spot start duty Tuesday. He served up six earned runs across only 1.2 innings in a start Wednesday against Pittsburgh, though he had been more effective in immediately preceding outings.
