Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Iowa this week. His first start is set for Thursday, and if all goes well, it won’t be long until he rejoins the big-league squad.
“I’d like to get him multiple [rehab] starts,” manager David Ross said. “But there’s a lot of variables in that, that can also change. So we’re going to make sure we bring him up here [when] he’s healthy and can help us win baseball games.”
One of those factors is the hole in the rotation created when Jameson Taillon (strained left groin) landed on the 15-day injured list last week.
