2025 Fantasy Outlook
For the first time in his MLB career, Hendricks will pitch for a team other than the Cubs. The 11-year veteran signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Angels shortly after the end of the 2024 season. Hendricks will now slot into a Los Angeles rotation that is short on proven big-league starters. Tyler Anderson led the way for the Angels last season, posting a solid 3.81 ERA across 179.1 innings (31 starts). Beyond Anderson, the team has the likes of Jose Soriano, Reid Detmers, Sam Aldegheri and others jockeying for roles. As a result, Hendricks should have a firm grip on a starting spot despite his struggles in 2024. The righty posted a 5.92 ERA and 1.45 WHIP across 29 appearances (24 starts), both of which were new career worsts. Hendricks has never been known to miss many bats, but with his K/9 dipping below 6.00, his margin for error got even smaller last year. His walk rate and home run rate also both went up from a season earlier, which is not a recipe for success. Perhaps the change of scenery will revitalize Hendricks entering his age-35 season, though there are plenty of concerning signs for fantasy managers. Read Past Outlooks
