Cubs' Kyle Hendricks: Effective in win Sunday
Kyle 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.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.

Cubs' Kyle Hendricks: Starting Tuesday
Kyle Hendricks will start Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.Hendricks looked to be destined to head to the bullpen after the return of Jordan Wicks from the 60-day injured list Sunday gave the Chicago Cubs five healthy starters. However, Justin Steele was scratched from his start Tuesday due to elbow soreness, resulting in Hendricks sticking around in the rotation for now. Hendricks served up six earned runs across only 1.2 innings in a start Wednesday against Pittsburgh, though he had been more effective in his prior four outings (3.92 ERA, 1.26 WHIP in 20.2 innings).

Cubs' Kyle Hendricks: Roughed up in no-decision
Kyle Hendricks escaped with a no-decision in Wednesday's win against the Pirates, allowing six earned runs on eight hits and three walks in 1.2 innings. He struck out two.Hendricks never found his footing in this one, surrendering a solo home run to Bryan Reynolds in the opening frame before completely unraveling in the second, yielding five additional runs on three extra-base hits before mercifully being pulled with two runners on and two out in the inning. Fortunately for Hendricks, those two runners were stranded and the Chicago Cubs rallied to a 14-10 victory, keeping Hendricks' record at 3-10. The 34-year-old veteran has been a shell of his former self this season, registering an ugly 6.75 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 6.0 K/9 in 102.2 innings. Hendricks' next start is slated to be a rematch with Pittsburgh early next week.

Cubs' Kyle Hendricks: Gives up three runs in no-decision
Kyle Hendricks didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Marlins, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks across 4.2 innings.
