Kyle Hendricks, who has not pitched in the majors since last July 5 because of a shoulder injury, is ready to make a rehab assignment for the Chicago Cubs.

After some work in the bullpen this week, Hendricks, 33, will start a rehabilitation assignment for a minor league affiliate to be determined.

Hendricks saw his 2022 season end after a capsular tear in his throwing shoulder. Instead of surgery, he chose rehabilitation, strengthening and velocity training.
