3 takeaways from the Cubs massive sweep of the Washington Nationals

3. Jordan Wicks is the answer to the Kyle Hendricks' problem.

Jordan Wicks returned to the Cubs' starting rotation on Sunday and proved that he is the answer to the problem that the Cubs have with Kyle Hendricks.

Wicks answered the call on Sunday, giving up 1 run on 4 hits in 5 innings of work. It was an impressive return for Wicks, who hadn't made a start at the Major League level since June due to an oblique injury.

With the Cubs' schedule thickening up over the closing weeks of the regular season, it goes without saying that the team will need to avoid using Hendricks as a starting pitcher as much as possible. Wicks' return on Sunday should give the Cubs confidence in making that decision.
