Hendriks earned the save after he pitched 1.1 scoreless innings, walking two batters while striking out one in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Hendriks entered the game with two outs in the eighth frame after Joe Kelly was forced to exit with left hamstring tightness, getting Christian Vazquez to ground out to end the inning. He then returned in the ninth inning, working around two walks to grab his 14th save of the season. Hendriks has now worked 5.1 scoreless frames since blowing back-to-back saves earlier in May, allowing three hits and walking two while striking out eight and going 5-for-5 on save opportunities.

Hendriks allowed two hits and struck out one across a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Thursday against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Hendriks was tasked with protecting a three-run lead, but he made things interesting by allowing two of the first three batters he faced to reach base. However, he ultimately escaped the jam to tally his 12th save of the campaign. Hendriks has turned in three consecutive scoreless appearances and has a 3.93 ERA with a 28:5 K:BB across 18.1 frames for the season.

Hendriks recorded his 11th save of the season during the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Royals, giving up a hit and striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander completed a combined shutout by White Sox pitchers after Dylan Cease had kicked things off with 5.2 scoreless frames. Hendriks has had a bumpy start to the season, with his 4.15 ERA and 1.33 WHIP being his worst marks since 2018, but he still sports a 35.5 percent strikeout rate through 17.1 innings and sits fourth in the majors in saves.

Hendriks (1-2) was credited with the win after blowing a save Saturday against the Yankees. He allowed one run one on one hit and one walk while striking out three over 1.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
The closer was put in a tough situation in the eighth inning, entering with one out and a pair of runners on base with Chicago clinging to a one-run lead. He got out of the jam by striking out Josh Donaldson and Gleyber Torres, but the Yankees got to him for a run in the following frame to tie the score. The White Sox then walked off with a win the bottom of the ninth, handing Hendriks his first win of the campaign. Despite the favorable finish, it wasn't the best outing for Hendriks, who has blown two straight save chances while yielding three earned runs over his past two innings.

Hendriks did not allow a baserunner across a scoreless 10th inning to earn the save Saturday against Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Hendriks needed only eight pitches to retire Rafael Devers, Xander Bogaerts and J.D. Martinez to pick up his ninth save of the season. Hendriks has turned in six consecutive scoreless appearances, racking up an 8:2 K:BB in that span. He's overcome a shaky start to the campaign and worked around a back injury to cement himself as one of the elite closers once again.

Hendriks struck out three and walked one in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to pick up the save against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
He was tasked with protecting a two-run lead, and apart from walking Christian Vazquez, he was perfect, striking out Franchy Cordero, Jackie Bradley and Jarren Duran to pick up his eighth save of the season. Hendriks wasn't stellar out of the gates this season, but he now has five straight scoreless appearances under his belt and four saves over that stretch.

Hendriks earned the save against the Cubs on Wednesday by pitching a perfect ninth inning during which he struck out one batter.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander pitched (and notched a save) each of the previous two days, but he threw only 22 combined pitches in those outings and was therefore able to appear in a third consecutive contest Wednesday. He needed only 10 pitches this time around to earn another save, giving him seven on the season. The White Sox have an off day Thursday, so there will be no intrigue about whether Hendriks could be deployed for a fourth straight game.
