The Cubs have announced that former ace Kyle Hendricks, who has struggled this season with a 10.57 ERA and an 0-4 record, will be moving to the bullpen. This decision comes after Hendricks’ struggles on the mound in what has been a career-worst start to the season for him.
Hendricks, who has been a reliable starter for the Cubs in the past, will now be tasked with pitching out of the bullpen in hopes of finding his groove and regaining his form. This move signals a shift in the team’s pitching strategy as they look to address Hendricks’ struggles and improve their overall performance on the mound.
It will be interesting to see how Hendricks adapts to this new role and how it will impact the Cubs’ bullpen rotation moving forward. Only time will tell if this change will help him bounce back from his early-season struggles and regain his status as a top pitcher for the team.
