The Chicago White Sox placed relief pitcher Liam Hendriks (elbow) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to June 10) on Sunday with right-elbow inflammation and recalled left-hander Tanner Banks from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move. It's an inconvenience for Hendriks and the White Sox, but the 34-year-old right-handed Aussie will certainly overcome this after beating cancer in 2023. Hendriks has only one save and has allowed three runs on four hits while walking one and striking ...

Chicago White Sox right-hander Liam Hendriks picked up his first save of the 2023 campaign on Tuesday when his club defeated the New York Yankees 3-2.

Since coming back from his illness, Hendriks has posted a 6.75 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and 17.6% strikeout rate through just four innings. It looks like the 34-year-old has taken back the closer job and should receive the majority of save opportunities, leaving...

Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Liam Hendriks chose a great time to pick up his first win of the season, as today was National Cancer Survivors Day. He threw a perfect ninth inning with two punchouts to help the ChiSox pick up a 6-2 win over the Detroit Tigers. It appears the White Sox are ready to let Hendriks see high-leverage situations, meaning he likely isn't far out from taking over the closer role that he has held for multiple years prior to this one. Even if he isn't on your fantasy ...

The results of his outing were nowhere near as important as its meaning for Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Liam Hendriks in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Angels. Making his 2023 debut after recovering from non-Hodgkins lymphoma, Hendriks received several ovations throughout the evening. He pitched the eighth inning and did not factor, allowing two runs on three hits and a walk with no strikeouts. The veteran topped out at 96.6 MPH and should be eased back into primary closing duties. Hendriks has ...

Hendriks made six rehab appearances and threw a bullpen session as well. It appears the 33-year-old is ready to rejoin the White Sox bullpen. He'll immediately resume his role as the closer, so...

Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Liam Hendriks was able to throw a live batting practice session on Friday. The right-hander threw around 20 pitches to three different batters. This might be the final hurdle for Hendriks to clear before he's able to return from the injured list. The team has not given a clear timetable on his return, so fantasy managers will need to be patient. He was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma in January, but is now cancer free. He'll likely be eased back into action...

Chicago White Sox closer Liam Hendriks is now expected to have his next throwing session on Friday. Manager Pedro Grifol said Hendrik's velocity and stuff "ticked up" during his simulated game on Monday. There is no set date for his return from the injured list, but it sounds like the team will make a decision on him after he throws again on Friday. As long as the 34-year-old right-handed reliever looks good again on Friday, he'll likely come off the injured list this weekend in order to make ...
