Cubs plan to go slowly with injured Hendricks

CHICAGO -- The Chicago Cubs plan to move slowly with Kyle Hendricks after tests confirmed the right-hander is dealing with a shoulder impingement.

Hendricks was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday, one day after he permitted five runs in 4 1/3 innings in a 5-3 loss to NL West-leading Los Angeles. Hendricks was 6-0 with a 1.99 ERA in his previous eight starts before stumbling against the Dodgers.

"There's no question we'll take the length of the season into account," general manager Jed Hoyer said Tuesday before a game against the crosstown White Sox.
