ANAHEIM, Calif. — Right-hander Kyle Hendricks originally wasn’t lined up to pitch this weekend, in the Angels’ only series of the year against the Cubs. But then, as fate would have it, José Soriano went on the paternity list this week, bumping back Hendricks’ start day to Sunday, when he’ll face the team that he represented for 11 seasons.
“It’s going to be fun, for sure,” Hendricks said Friday with a grin.
The timing will give him two games to catch up with his former teammates and coaches on the field.
