Throws Opening Day shutout Hendricks threw a shutout against the Brewers on Opening Day. He allowed three hits, struck out nine and did not issue a walk.

Impact Hendricks did more than enough to justify the Opening Day nod over Yu Darvish with this masterful performance. As noted by Jordan Bastian of MLB.com, Hendricks had 19 swinging strikes Friday, the second-highest single-game total of his career. The changeup had hitters out in front and his command was sharp. Hendricks lines up for a road start in Cincinnati next week before a two-step the week of Aug. 3.

Set to be No. 3 starter Chatwood is expected to throw around 80 pitches in a simulated game Tuesday before starting the team's third game of the season Sunday against the Brewers, Jordan Bastian of MLB.co...

Impact Chatwood came into spring training battling for the team's fifth rotation spot, but he bumped up at least one rung with Jose Quintana (thumb) slated to miss the beginning of the season. Now it seems that Chatwood has moved ahead of Jon Lester for the No. 3 spot, putting the righty behind Kyle Hendricks and Yu Darvish. Chatwood has always had good enough stuff to succeed as an MLB starter, but his command has held him back. If he can keep the walks in check, the 30-year-old could be an under-the-radar option this year in fantasy circles.

Displays refined curveball Hendricks said he worked on his curveball while play was suspended due to the coronavirus, and he could use the pitch more in 2020, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact Hendricks worked on his grip over the past few months, and the work has apparently paid off, as the righty noted that "it's the best my curveball's felt." In his final summer camp tune-up Sunday against the White Sox, he used the pitch 14 percent of the time, as compared to 9.5 percent of the time in 2019. Hendricks has primarily featured a sinker and changeup during his time in the majors, but increased confidence in his curveball could lead to an uptick in usage.

JULY 20, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Allows three runs in final tune-up Hendricks allowed three earned runs across 4.2 innings in Sunday's exhibition game against the White Sox. He gave up six hits and a walk, while striking out two.

Impact Hendricks allowed just one run before departing after tossing 83 pitches, but Jharel Cotton let a few inherited runners to cross the plate. Either way, the final line isn't overly important, as Hendricks was using this start as his final tune-up before Opening Day. It was good to see the righty get past the 80-pitch mark, and he should be good for 90 or more pitches against the Brewers in the opener.
