Kyle Hendricks, the former Cubs ace, is struggling with a 10.57 ERA and an 0-4 record this season. The team has decided to move him to the bullpen in an effort to help him regain form and get back on track. Manager Craig Counsell made the announcement to reporters on Tuesday.
After a career-worst start to the season, Hendricks will now be pitching out of the bullpen in hopes of improving his performance. This decision comes after his poor performance in the starting rotation, and the Cubs are hoping that a change in role will benefit the struggling pitcher.
The move to the bullpen for Hendricks marks a significant change in his career trajectory, as he has been a reliable starter for the Cubs in past seasons. However, with his recent struggles, the team felt it was necessary to make a change in order to try and spark a turnaround for the talented pitcher.
While it is always difficult for a player to transition to a new role, especially mid-season, the Cubs are hopeful that this move will ultimately be beneficial for both the team and Kyle Hendricks. They are looking to see improvement from the pitcher and believe that the bullpen could be a better fit for him at this time.
