In a surprising move, the Cubs have decided to transition former ace Kyle Hendricks from the starting rotation to the bullpen. This announcement was made by manager Craig Counsell during a press conference on Tuesday.
Hendricks, who has had a difficult start to the season with a 10.57 ERA and an 0-4 record, is now facing a career-worst performance this season. The team hopes that this change will shake things up and potentially improve his performance.
As a reliable starter for the Cubs in the past, this move comes as a surprise to many fans who are used to seeing him on the mound. However, the team believes that this change will help him work through his struggles and eventually return to form on the mound.
Cubs fans will be eagerly watching to see how Hendricks adjusts to his new role in the bullpen and if this change will ultimately benefit both him and the team in the long run.
