Newsbreakers
October 6, 2009
Kyle Kendrick has made the Phillies' 25-man roster for the NLDS, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
This is a surprise, as Kendrick spent most of the season at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, and was not on the Phillies' 2008 playoff roster.
September 13, 2009
Kyle Kendrick pitched very well on Sunday as the Phillies took the first game of their doubleheader with the Mets by a 5-4 score. Kendrick went 7.1 innings and allowed two runs on seven hits while walking one and striking out three.
Our View:
Kendrick was making his first start for this Phillies in two months, and he was outstanding. He gave the team exactly what they needed with J.A. Happ out, but don't expect him to see too many more starts this season.
September 10, 2009
According to the Philadelphia Daily News, newly recalled pitcher Kyle Kendrick is expected to start the first game of the team's Sunday doubleheader against the Mets. Kendrick was 9-4 with a 3.34 ERA with the team's Triple-A affiliate this season.
Our View:
Kendrick has plenty of starting experience, as he went 1-4 with a 3.47 ERA in 20 starts for the Phils in 2007. He struggled last season, and he hasn't been great in limited work with the team this year. WIth J.A. Happ down with an injury, however, the team wasn't left with many other options.
September 6, 2009
Kyle Kendrick has been recalled by the Phillies, according to the Twitter page of Andy Martino.
Our View:
Kendrick will join the bullpen, and could be a factor in long relief if necessary. With roster expansion the team has plenty of arms, but Kendrick should see a few innings here and there over the next few weeks, but not enough to warrant fantasy consideration.
July 25, 2009
Phillies' beat writer Todd Zolecki is reporting on his Twitter page that the team has recalled pitcher Kyle Kendrick from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to join the bullpen. He will replace rookie Andrew Carpenter in the bullpen.
Our View:
Kendrick has been very good in Triple-A over his last four starts, and he should be a nice boost in long relief for the Phils. He won't be much of a fantasy factor, but he could be a rotation option if the team needs a starter.
July 22, 2009
According to the Philadelphia Daily News, Kyle Kendrick was scratched from his Triple-A start on Tuesday due to a tender shoulder.
Our View:
Kendrick, who has a 2.01 ERA in his last four starts, may or may not pitch on Wednesday depending on how he feels, but the injury doesn't seem serious. He has allowed just 22 hits in his last 31.1 innings and is making his case for a recall. We surely haven't seen the last of him this season.
June 13, 2009
Kyle Kendrick has been optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley by the Phillies, according to TSN.
Our View:
Kendrick gave up three earned runs over two innings against Boston in his lone appearance this season, and the Phillies are not giving him a chance to bounce back. He holds no fantasy value while working on his skills in the minors.
June 12, 2009
Kyle Kendrick has been recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. He will be taking the roster spot of reliever Scott Eyre who was placed on the disabled list on Friday.
Our View:
Kendrick started 30 games for the Phils in 2008, but hasn't seen any major league action this season. He's 21-13 with a 4.78 ERA lifetime and not a great fantasy option. It's unclear in what role he'll be pitching.
April 30, 2009
Kyle Kendrick threw six scoreless innings for Triple-A Lehigh Valley to improve his record to 2-1. He allowed three hits, two walks and struck out four.
Our View:
Kendrick has gotten off to a nice start for Lehigh Valley with a 2.77 ERA, but as usual, his strikeout rate leaves something to be desired. He could find himself in the Phils' rotation again at some point this season, but last season's results show minimal fantasy value.
March 24, 2009
Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports suggests that the Rockies may target Kyle Kendrick after being optioned to the minors by Philadelphia.
Our View:
Kendrick allowed 23 homers last season over 155.2 innings, and would not be helped by playing his home games at launching pad Coors Field. Kendrick was unable to nail down the No. 5 spot in the Phillies' rotation.
March 23, 2009
Kyle Kendrick was optioned to the minors by the Phillies, according to the Philadelphia Daily News. He will likely pitch for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
Our View:
Kendrick was unable to win the fifth spot in the Phillies' rotation. 35-year-old vet Chan Ho Park, rookie J.A. Happ and Carlos Carrasco remain the contenders for the job.
March 16, 2009
Kyle Kendrick was rocked yet again this spring, this time at the hands of the Yankees. In four innings, he allowed eight hits, four earned runs, and three walks, while striking out two.
Our View:
Kendrick has been awful this spring, and it would be an utter gift for the Phillies to include him in their opening day rotation. Chan Ho Park has been the superior pitcher to this point in March.
March 11, 2009
Kyle Kendrick was destroyed by the Braves Wednesday, allowing eight runs on ten hits (including two homeruns) over just three innings. If there is a silver lining, it's that he walked only one batter.
Our View:
If Kendrick was close to losing his spot in the rotation before, chances are he's on his way out now. This was a disastrous performance. He may have just paved the way for Chan Ho Park.
March 6, 2009
The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that pitching coach Rich Dubee was "very annoyed" with Kyle Kendrick's performance on Thursday. His stuff wasn't too bad, but the pitcher's body language on the mound was apparently aggitating Dubee.
Our View:
Kendrick does not have a lot of room to waver. Chan Ho Park wants to start and he provides the professionalism that Kendrick lacks. Emotions and composure were issues for Kendrick last season, and he appears to be in danger of losing his spot in the rotation.
February 15, 2009
According to the Associated Press, Kyle Kendrick is the leading candidate for the fifth spot in the Phillies' starting rotation. "For me, he's the leading guy going in because of what he's done for two years," pitching coach Rich Dubee said Sunday. "That doesn't mean my eyes are closed to the other candidates by any means."
Our View:
Veteran Chan Ho Park, rookie J.A. Happ, and Carlos Carrasco figure to be Kendrick's competition.
