Right-hander Kyle Hendricks has been statistically among the worst starting pitchers in the majors through five starts.
Chicago Cubs pitcher Kyle Hendricks sits in the dugout during the bottom of the second inning against the Miami Marlins at Wrigley Field on April 21, 2024.
“His place in Cubs history is secure,” president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer said Friday. “I don’t think anything is going to change that.” Through five starts, Hendricks’ 12.00 ERA is almost four runs higher than the next closest pitcher in the major leagues among the 103 pitchers who have thrown at least 20 innings. His expected 7.00 ERA would also put him last, though the gap wouldn’t be as significant between Hendricks and others at the bottom.
“There were some positive signs,” Counsell told reporters after the game. “Some good steps, some positive steps, some good innings, for sure. Some took-control-of-the-inning type innings. But we need better results, frankly.” “It’s really important for us to have him be a big part of the rotation, I don’t think it’s any question.”
