The Chicago Cubs have decided to move former ace Kyle Hendricks to the bullpen after a rough start to the season. With a career-worst 10.57 ERA and an 0-4 record, the team’s manager, Craig Counsell, announced the change on Tuesday.
This move comes as a surprise to many fans and analysts who are used to seeing Hendricks as a key part of the starting rotation. However, the Cubs are optimistic that Hendricks can make a successful transition to the bullpen and help the team in a different capacity.
Despite his struggles early in the season, the Cubs believe that Hendricks has the talent and potential to succeed in a new role. They hope that this change will allow him to find his form and contribute to the team in a different way. Only time will tell if this transition will benefit both Hendricks and the Cubs as they look to turn their season around.
