Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks throws against the Kansas City Royals during the first inning on Aug. 20, 2023.Marcus Stroman’s right rib cartilage fracture will keep him out indefinitely, and the Cubs hope reliever Drew Smyly will be up to the task when he starts Tuesday, so Hendricks is the next best bet behind Justin Steele.
Chicago Cubs catcher Miguel Amaya celebrates with right fielder Seiya Suzuki after they defeated the Kansas City Royals on Aug. 20, 2023. “It’s just there’s a few pieces missing right now: my curveball, runners on base, couple of things. So if I can bring all that together, my heater command and my changeup are the best they’ve been in a long time. So that’s really what I’m relying on.”
“He’s constantly evolving, to be honest with you,” he said. ”The thing about a career is you come in with a lot of talent and some success and you learn how to play at this level or pitch at this level. “Those were big runs,” Ross said. And we’ve done a nice job with that. I feel like over the season probably as good as any team I’ve been manager of we have we’ve done a we’ve done a nice job of adding on runs.”
With Marcus Stroman sidelined, the Cubs are having to cobble together a rotation, but they’re OK with throwing the reliever out there against the Tigers in Detroit.“There’s some analytic numbers that point to leaning toward him, there’s some experience leaning toward him, I think there’s value of Hayden out of the ’pen.”
