It will be right-hander Kyle Hendricks in Game 2 of the National League Division Series on Saturday afternoon at Busch Stadium, Cubs manager Joe Maddon announced Thursday. Ace Jake Arrieta, who blanked the Pirates in the NL Wild Card Game on Wednesday, will come back for Game 3 on Monday in Chicago.
Jason Hammel is tentatively slated to get the start in Game 4, but only if he is not used in relief in Games 1-3. If he is used in relief, the Cubs will have to revisit the options for that start, Maddon said.
