Kyle Hendricks Fantasy

Chicago Cubs manager David Ross said that the Opening Day start will come down to starting pitchers Yu Darvish and Kyle Hendricks. That will come on the road on Thursday, March 26, against the Brewers. Darvish is more of a volatile fantasy selection because of his injury history, but he also offers more strikeout upside than Hendricks and is going at an ADP of 68 compared to that of 142 for Hendricks. The Japanese right-hander finished the 2019 season on a really high note, giving those who draft him some optimism that he can bring that into 2020. Hendricks had a very decent 3.46 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 150 K's in 177 innings across 30 starts last season.

Chicago Cubs starting pitchers Kyle Hendricks and Yu Darvish have been shut down for the rest of the 2019 season. The team is out of playoff contention, so there is no need for either to take the mound again in the last week of the regular season. Alec Mills will draw the start on Friday. Lefty Cole Hamels will make what could be his last start with the team on Saturday. The starter for Sunday has not been announced yet. Both Hendricks and Darvish should be back in the Cubs rotation next season.

With the wind blowing in at Wrigley, Kyle Hendricks led the Cubs to their fifth straight win on Thursday, defeating the Giants 1-0. Hendricks went seven innings, allowing only three hits, striking out seven, and walking none. Hendricks has now given up only one run in his past two starts, following a seven-run disaster against the Reds on August 10, and has been quietly fantastic since the beginning of July, allowing more than two runs only twice in the ten starts since. Hendricks has been a near top-100 overall player on the season and should continue to be so on a surging Chicago team.
