Cubs righty Kyle Hendricks will start Game 3 of the NLCS against the Mets, manager Joe Maddon announced Sunday afternoon.

Hendricks pitched Game 2 in the Cubs' NLDS win over the Cardinals, giving up three solo home runs in 4 2/3 innings, although the Cubs won 6-3.

Maddon wouldn't commit to a Game 4 starter for Wednesday, but Jason Hammel is the favorite to take the ball.
