Quality start in no-decision Hendricks did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings against the White Sox. He struck out four.

Impact Hendricks allowed six baserunners and three runs through the first two innings but settled in, retiring 14 of the final 17 batters he faced to notch his ninth quality start of the year. After the soft-tossing hurler was roughed up by Atlanta on August 4, Hendricks has produced more respectable results in his last two outings, allowing five earned runs with a 10:4 K:BB across 11 innings during that stretch. He is currently slated to face the Royals at Wrigley Field over the weekend.

Settles for no-decision Hendricks allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six batters over five innings in a no-decision against the Mets on Wednesday.

Impact Hendricks was staked to an early 2-0 lead, but the Mets tied the game on a Pete Alonso two-run homer in the fourth. That was the only time Hendricks allowed runs to cross the plate, but it was enough to send him to a no-decision. The veteran right-hander didn't pitch deep enough to grab a quality start, but he did bounce back well from a seven-run, four-inning loss against Atlanta his last time out. Hendricks also posted his highest strikeout game this season with his six punchouts Wednesday.

Rough outing against Atlanta Hendricks (4-6) took the loss Friday, allowing seven runs on eight hits over four innings against Atlanta. He struck out three without issuing a walk.

Impact Hendricks had been pitching well, posting a 3.26 ERA and 0.98 WHIP in his last three starts coming into Friday, but he ran into the buzzsaw that is the Atlanta lineup. The NL East leaders hit three home runs in the game -- two against Hendricks -- tying the 2019 Twins for the most home runs through 107 games in MLB history, per Sarah Langs of MLB.com. Hendricks has shown this season that he still has some of his old magic, but the right-hander will remain susceptible to the occasional blowup given his lack of whiffs.

No run support in loss 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.

Impact 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.

Settles for no-decision Sunday 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Submits quality start in loss 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.

Impact 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.

Sharp again in win 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.

Impact 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.

Five strong innings Friday Hendricks (2-2) earned the win Friday, allowing two runs on five hits over five innings against Baltimore. He struck out one and did not issue a walk.

Impact Hendricks finished at least five innings and gave up two or fewer runs for the third time over his past four starts. The veteran missed the first two months of the campaign but has looked sharp since making his season debut May 25, posting a 3.18 ERA and 1.06 WHIP across 28.1 innings. He's never been a major strikeout guy, but when he's at his best, the right-hander is throwing a lot of strikes and inducing weak contact. Hendricks has walked just one batter over his last three outings and takes a two-game winning streak into his next start, which is tentatively scheduled as part of a three-game set in Pittsburgh.
