Newsbreakers

October 3, 2009

Mark Hendrickson earned his sixth win of the season on Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and three walks over 6.1 innings. He fanned three in the 6-3 win over the Blue Jays.

Our View:

Hendrickson moved back into the rotation on September 17th and after a rocky first outing, he's recorded three quality starts in a row.

September 28, 2009

Mark Hendrickson gave up three earned runs on three hits over six innings in Monday's 7-6 loss at Tampa Bay. He had one walk with three strikeouts, and was tagged for three homers.

Our View:

The Orioles were leading 6-3 when Hendrickson exited, so he was handed a no-decision. Hendrickson is winless over his three starts this month.

September 22, 2009

Mark Hendrickson allowed two earned runs on four hits over six innings in Tuesday's 6-5 loss at Toronto. He had two walks and no strikeouts.

Our View:

Hendrickson had a good night on the mound, and was handed a no-decision instead of a loss as Baltimore was leading 4-2 when he exited. He allowed two earned runs in each of his last two starts.

September 17, 2009

Mark Hendrickson was no match for rookie Wade Davis and the Rays on Thursday night. The lanky lefty allowed two runs in just 3.1 innings, as Davis and the Rays shutout the Orioles 3-0 in Baltimore.

Our View:

Hendrickson was making just his eighth start of the season after mostly pitching as a reliever in 2009. It is in relief that he will also surely pitch in 2010.

September 14, 2009

Mark Hendrickson will replace rookie Brian Matusz in the Orioles' rotation, according to the Associated Press. The club is shutting down Matusz to prevent him from overextending his arm.

Our View:

Hendrickson is 1-4 with a 6.35 ERA over seven starts with Baltimore this season. The lefty started the year in their rotation.

August 20, 2009

According to ESPN.com's Jayson Stark, Mark Hendrickson has cleared waivers and can now be traded to any team.

Our View:

It was thought that the Orioles were hanging on to Hendrickson, but that's apparently not the case. The Rockies were interested in the veteran lefty, but have backed off due to interest in the emerging Billy Wagner sweepstakes. Someone will come calling on the crafty southpaw though.

July 31, 2009

According to FOXSports.com, the Orioles intend to hang on to lefty reliever Mark Hendrickson.

Our View:

The Rockies were going after Hendrickson hard, but after the O's shipped George Sherrill to the Dodgers on Thursday they didn't want to part with another veteran lefty. This season the southpaw is 4-0 with a 3.28 ERA.

July 30, 2009

The Rockies are highly interested in reliever Mark Hendrickson, according to the Denver Post.

Our View:

The converted starter has posted a 2.94 ERA in 23 appearances since moving to the bullpen on May 15. Look for the Orioles to get whatever they can for their scrap heap pitcher.

May 1, 2009

Mark Hendrickson picked up another loss on Friday as the Orioles fell to the Blue Jays 8-4. Hendrickson went five innings and allowed four runs on nine hits while walking two and striking out two.

Our View:

Hendrickson continued his struggles in 2009 as he fell to 1-4 on the season. He has no value in any fantasy leagues unless you want to take a chance on him in AL-only leagues.

April 20, 2009

Mark Hendrickson allowed three runs in five innings while picking up the loss in Baltimore's 12-1 defeat on Monday. Hendrickson walked three and struck out six, but he got little support from his offense or his bullpen.

Our View:

Hendrickson pitched pretty well for Baltimore today, striking out six in just five innings. He gave up a homer to Jason Varitek in the second, but overall not a bad outing for the big lefty. He is now 1-2 on the season, and is not much of a fantasy option except in deep AL-only leagues.

April 10, 2009

Mark Hendrickson allowed just one run on six hits and two walks over 5.1 innings on Friday and the Orioles clipped the Rays 5-4.

Our View:

No one was expecting Hendrickson to do this. Holding the AL Champion Rays to one run and earning the win are big accomplishments for the fifth starter in pitching-starved Baltimore's rotation. And for a guy who owns a career 5.07 ERA.

April 2, 2009

Mark Hendrickson has been named the fifth starter in the Orioles' rotation, according to MASN Sports.

Our View:

Hendrickson got the nod with Rich Hill ailing. The 34-year-old vet holds a career 5.07 ERA in the majors, and should be left for deeper AL-only leagues.

March 16, 2009

Mark Hendrickson allowed two earned runs on five hits over three innings in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Twins, with no walks and no strikeouts. Most of the damage came on a two-run homer by Joe Crede.

Our View:

Hendrickson failed to impress today, but should still hold a spot in the Orioles' rotation, especially with Radhames Liz being moved to the pen.

March 4, 2009

Mark Hendrickson was scratched from Wednesday's start due to a sore back, according to the Baltimore Sun. No additional pitchers were added to the roster to replace him.

Our View:

Hendrickson should be fine after a few days of rest. The former Marlin is a favorite to make the Orioles' rotation, and could have value in deeper AL-only leagues.
