From Rotoworld: Gonzalez pitched six innings of one-run ball Tuesday in a loss to the Dodgers. Gonzalez was having a tough time before getting hurt last month and he didn’t pitch very well on his rehab assignment, but he quieted a strong offense in this one. Unfortunately, matched up against Clayton Kershaw as he was, he fell to 4-9 anyway. He’ll face the Cubs next.
Hendricks (hand) will rejoin the Cubs’ rotation on Monday. Hendricks has been sidelined for the past six weeks while recovering from tendinitis in his hand. The right-hander owns a 4.09 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 51/21 K/BB ratio across 61 2/3 innings on the season.
