On Tuesday night, Hendrick had a two-home run game for the Chattanooga Lookouts.

The 24-year-old has really struggled over five minor league seasons, slashing .210/.295/.365 with 706 strikeouts in 490 games, but he has shown some promise in Double-A Chattanooga this season.

He is slashing .253/.332/.433 with 20 e xtra-base hits and 83 strikeouts in 71 games this season.
