Here's what happened. <\/p>\n
Hendricks got pelted with a line drive during a phenomenal start. The Smokies reported Hendricks is fine after the play. But that would've been annoying for the right-hander to incur another injury while trying to rehab back from one. <\/p>\n
The Cubs veteran tossed a solid outing. He threw five innings and allowed two earned runs from six hits. He struck out seven batters and didn't walk any. <\/p>\n
Hendricks hasnt pitched since April 21, but has struggled throughout the season. In five starts, he has posted a 12.00 ERA, with 28 runs allowed in just 21 innings of work. The Cubs haven't announced how long they plan to keep him in the minors for his rehab stint. <\/p>\n
