Cubs can't secure strong Hendricks outing, but Hoerner's grand slam provides win over Washington. McGrawDHSports Cubs
Wednesday could have been Kyle Hendricks' last start at Wrigley Field for the Cubs, since another sell-off is very possible before the Aug. 1 trade deadline.
There was no fanfare when Hendricks walked off the mound after finishing a routine sixth inning. He just stopped and got his glove checked by the umpire while fans went about their business. The Cubs have three 30-something starters on short-term contracts with Hendricks, Marcus Stroman and Drew Smyly. One plausible scenario is two of the three will be moved by the deadline and the Cubs will use Hayden Wesneski, Javier Assad or Ben Brown in the rotation the rest of the season.
It's been an impressive journey for Hendricks, from growing up in Mission Viejo, Calif. to college at Dartmouth to being drafted in the eighth round by Texas. He was playing in Myrtle Beach, then a Rangers Class A affiliate, when traded to the Cubs for Ryan Dempster at the deadline in 2012.
"You feel like you've got a bag of tricks in your back pocket. If you know your hitter and can read body language and scouting report and things like that, you can have a lot of fun if Kyle's executing that day."
