Kyle Hendricks Struggles, Cubs Still Dominate Reds
by Jesse Garcia | Cubs Correspondent | Thu, Aug 1st 8:08am EDT
Kyle Hendricks allowed three earned runs over five innings in a win against the Reds on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact:
He surrendered four hits and two walks while striking out four. Despite the Cubs' overwhelming 13-4 victory, Hendricks's performance continues to be a concern for fantasy managers. His season ERA now sits uncomfortably high at 6.86, with a WHIP of 1.48, both metrics indicating ongoing struggles. His low strikeout rate of 6.3 K/9 limits his upside in fantasy formats that reward strikeouts. Given these numbers, Hendricks remains a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues or those specifically counting innings pitched.
