2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hendricks got a delayed start to his 2023 campaign due to a shoulder strain he sustained in July of the previous season. The veteran debuted in May and ended up tossing 137 innings across 24 starts. He ultimately posted a 3.74 ERA, which was a step down from his 3.48 career mark but a step forward from the 4.80 ERA he recorded in 2022. Per usual, Hendricks continued to pitch to contact, as he recorded only 93 strikeouts across those 137 innings. The righty has now posted a K/9 below 8.0 in each of the last seven seasons. While Hendricks can make that work to some degree in real life, it does limit his fantasy upside. Heading into his age-34 season, Hendricks should once again be a key cog in Chicago's rotation, likely slotting in behind Justin Steele and possibly Jameson Taillon. Hendricks figures to be fairly consistent if he stays healthy and can provide some value to fantasy managers in the right matchups, though keep expectations in check due to his advancing age and low strikeout totals.

Finishes strong in no-decision
Hendricks did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Reds, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out two over 7.1 scoreless innings.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks needed just 81 pitches to work into the eighth inning, finishing with arguably his best start of the season. Over his final five outings, the veteran logged two quality starts while yielding two earned runs or fewer four times. He'll conclude a disappointing campaign with a 5.92 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 87:43 K:BB across 130.2 innings and will hit free agency this offseason.

Hendricks' pitch-to-contact style has seemingly caught up with him the last two season. After registering a then career-worst 4.77 ERA in 2021, he posted a 4.80 ERA in 2022 before getting shut down in August with a capsular tear in his shoulder. The righty ultimately made 16 starts, logging 84.1 innings and striking out 65 batters. That equates to a 7.04 K/9, which is in line with his 7.40 K/9 career mark. In an era where pitchers have consistently thrown harder with an emphasis on missing bats, Hendricks has always been an exception. He had plenty of success prior to 2021, so it will be interesting to see if he can regain that form once he's healthy. It's possible that the league has figured out Hendricks, but fantasy managers can likely take a chance on him at a discount in drafts.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Plans to continue playing in 2025
Hendricks said this week that he "100 percent" plans to continue his playing career in 2025, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Cubs exercised their $16.5 million club option on Hendricks for this season following his strong showing in 2023, but he's managed just a 6.25 ERA in 27 appearances -- 22 starts -- in 2024 and will turn 35 over the winter. Still, it seems likely some team will give Hendricks an opportunity to bounce back in 2025, even if his tenure with the Cubs is likely to come to a close.
