Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
Cubs pitcher Kyle Hendricks will start Friday against the Astros after recovering from a bout of food poisoning stemming from a meal in Las Vegas.
“I feel much better now,” Hendricks smiled. “I survived. I’ve had it two other times.”
Hendricks will have seven days’ rest before his first regular season start at Milwaukee on April 8 and admitted he’ll try to maximize his time.
“Sometimes you can use that reprieve,” Hendricks said. “There could be one day where I’ll throw a very long bullpen, almost like a start.
“There’s nothing you can do. There are so many off-days at the start. It’s weird. You make the most of it. You can get your throwing in, get your extra lifting in to keep you ready for that first series.”
