SAN FRANCISCO – Kyle Hendricks’ strained right shoulder, which landed the Cubs’ longest-tenured pitcher on the 15-day injured list earlier this month, dampened early trade rumors. His timeline to return remains up in the air, even after recent testing.
Hendricks’ full range of motion is back, and he’s started a strength program.
“But as far as weighted range of motion things, it’s just still showing symptoms,” Hendricks said Thursday. “So that’s really the last piece of the puzzle right now.”
He’ll need those symptoms to subside before he resumes throwing. But he said he’s confident that he’ll pitch again this season.
