Kyle Hendricks will have his next start pushed back to later next week after Saturday's start was rained out, affording the Cubs an unforeseen off day, MLB.com's Carrie Muskat reports.

Hendricks' next start will pushed back to Thursday after Saturday's start was rained out, affording the Cubs an unforeseen off day, MLB.com's Carrie Muskat reports.

Analysis:

He was scheduled to pitch in the Cubs' first series next week against the Pirates, but the Cubs can now push him back to Thursday against the Nationals, while getting Jason Hammel, Jake Arrieta and Jon Lester to take the mound in the Pittsburgh series. There are not major fantasy ramifications from this move, but owners in leagues with daily moves should make note that Hendricks' next start date has changed.
