2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hendricks got a delayed start to his 2023 campaign due to a shoulder strain he sustained in July of the previous season. The veteran debuted in May and ended up tossing 137 innings across 24 starts. He ultimately posted a 3.74 ERA, which was a step down from his 3.48 career mark but a step forward from the 4.80 ERA he recorded in 2022. Per usual, Hendricks continued to pitch to contact, as he recorded only 93 strikeouts across those 137 innings. The righty has now posted a K/9 below 8.0 in each of the last seven seasons. While Hendricks can make that work to some degree in real life, it does limit his fantasy upside. Heading into his age-34 season, Hendricks should once again be a key cog in Chicago's rotation, likely slotting in behind Justin Steele and possibly Jameson Taillon. Hendricks figures to be fairly consistent if he stays healthy and can provide some value to fantasy managers in the right matchups, though keep expectations in check due to his advancing age and low strikeout totals.

Effective in win Sunday
Hendricks (4-11) allowed one run on two hits across six innings to earn the win Sunday against the Rockies. He walked three and struck out seven.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks hasn't been very good lately, as he came into this start with a 6.10 ERA and 1.89 WHIP across his last five outings, but he turned back the clock Sunday with a vintage performance. The veteran righty came within one strikeout of his season high, and the two hits allowed tied for his fewest allowed in a start this year. The surprisingly effective appearance might be the last start of the season for Hendricks, however, as Justin Steele (elbow) appears ready to rejoin the rotation in the next few days. When that happens, Hendricks could be pushed back into a long-relief role.

Hendricks' pitch-to-contact style has seemingly caught up with him the last two season. After registering a then career-worst 4.77 ERA in 2021, he posted a 4.80 ERA in 2022 before getting shut down in August with a capsular tear in his shoulder. The righty ultimately made 16 starts, logging 84.1 innings and striking out 65 batters. That equates to a 7.04 K/9, which is in line with his 7.40 K/9 career mark. In an era where pitchers have consistently thrown harder with an emphasis on missing bats, Hendricks has always been an exception. He had plenty of success prior to 2021, so it will be interesting to see if he can regain that form once he's healthy. It's possible that the league has figured out Hendricks, but fantasy managers can likely take a chance on him at a discount in drafts.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Embracing bullpen role
Hendricks said Wednesday that he's "super excited for this opportunity and challenge" after being demoted from the rotation to the bullpen, reports Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
The veteran right-hander admitted that his campaign "was just going terrible," as evidenced by a 10.57 ERA, 1.99 WHIP and 25:11 K:BB over 30.2 innings. Hendricks' first relief appearance wasn't great either, and he gave up two runs over four hits in two frames versus Atlanta. The Cubs hope he'll be able to get on track and return to the rotation, but at this point it doesn't appear the soft-tossing 34-year-old has much left in the tank.
