Hendricks won against the Mets his last time out (6 IP, 0 ER, 6 Ks) but went 2-3 with a 4.78 ERA in June. He lost against Miami on the road earlier last month. The Marlins are 7-27 (.300) against him.
Latos, who could be traded if could ever gets his groove back, beat the Giants in his last appearance (6 IP, 2 ER). The Cubs know him well but not well enough: 26-121 (.215). Castro is 8-31 (.258); Rizzo is 2-15 which explains in part his day off against the righty.
The Cards are next. We’ll see Lynn, Lackey, Cooney, and Wacha (and miss Martinez) during the homestand.
Soler is back--without an ankle boot or the winter gear. Szczur makes room.
Go Cubs!
