The Chicago Cubs have announced that former ace Kyle Hendricks will be moving to the bullpen following a tough start to the season. With a career-worst 10.57 ERA and an 0-4 record, manager Craig Counsell made the change during a press conference on Tuesday.
Hendricks, who has been a reliable starter for the Cubs in the past, will now be pitching out of the bullpen as the team looks to make adjustments and improve their performance on the field. This move comes as a surprise to many considering Hendricks’ previous success as a starting pitcher.
Fans will be watching closely to see how this change impacts the team and Hendricks’ performance moving forward. As they adjust to this new situation, the Cubs will be looking for ways to maximize Hendricks’ abilities and help him regain his form on the mound.
Despite the struggles he’s faced so far this season, the Cubs are hopeful that Hendricks will be able to work through his issues and contribute positively in his new role out of the bullpen. They are counting on his experience and talent to make a difference as they try to turn things around and get back on track in the season.
