The resurgent Chicago Cubs are the hottest team in baseball as the trade deadline draws near.
They will seek their ninth consecutive victory on Sunday when they conclude their four-game series against the host St. Louis Cardinals.
Hendricks is coming off a 7-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday. He allowed three runs on just four hits and a walk in 6 1/3 innings while hitting the quality-start metric for the eighth time in his last 10 starts. Hendricks' tenure in Chicago has bridged the team's World Series title run through another rebuild to the club's current postseason push. He hopes the Cubs' recent success encourages team management to go for it this year rather than stage another sell-off.
Hendricks missed almost two months after recovering from capsular tear in his right shoulder. He has not faced the Cardinals this season but has been their nemesis throughout his career.The Cardinals will attempt to counter by sending left-hander Steven Matz to the mound. He has gotten his season back on track during his shift to the bullpen."It's like swinging a weighted bat type of thing," Matz told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
