CHICAGO -- Veteran Chicago Cubs pitcher Kyle Hendricks will start Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants, the team announced Sunday.
It will be Hendricks' first start since giving up eight runs in a May outing against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He has made five relief appearances since then, including three scoreless ones this month.
"We're down pitchers right now," manager Craig Counsell said before announcing the move.
The Cubs lost two starters just this week, including Ben Brown to a neck injury and Jordan Wicks to an oblique strain.
