Hendricks fared well in his return to the mound Tuesday against the NL West heavyweight Padres, his first start in 13 days.
“I feel back to normal, so now should be good to go.”
The elements were unkind to Hendricks; he took the mound to 94-degree heat at Wrigley Field. On top of that, the Padres battled hard in the first inning despite striking out three times. Hendricks, who threw a pair of bullpens during his time off, had a pitch count range around 85, Ross said. Between that and the weather, Ross said he was going batter to batter with him in the sixth inning.
“My stuff and my mechanics felt really good. Gotta get back into the routine now and get my pitch count back up.”
