Kyle Hendricks talks with reporters during batting practice before the game against the Marlins on Saturday at Wrigley Field.

A giddy Kyle Hendricks reported Saturday that his velocity has returned to 90 mph and spending the last two days at Wrigley Field marked the most important steps in his recovery from a shoulder injury.

Hendricks had one more request after watching left-hander Justin Steele post his 14th consecutive start of allowing two earned runs or fewer Friday.

“I wish I had his stuff,” said Hendricks, the lone remaining member of the 2016 World Series team.
