The Cubs announced Sunday that Kyle Hendricks will rejoin the rotation for Wednesday’s start aginst the Giants.
After Jordan Wicks left Friday’s game with a Grade 2 right oblique strain, it left the Cubs short in the rotation. Hendricks pitched well in relief, throwing 4 1/3 innings, allowing two hits and zero runs. Hendricks was put in the bullpen after a rough start to his season. Opponents have slashed .328/.377.545 against Hendricks.
“We’ll take a look and see where we’re at,” manager Craig Counsell said Friday. “But we’re down pitchers right now. We’ll see where we’re at when we get there, but I think it looks like it.
