Hendriks earned the save, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning in a 3-1 win Tuesday over the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Hendriks did not allow a ball out of the infield and retired the Cubs in order with only 10 pitches. While the closer doesn't necessarily have impressive numbers over the first month of the season, he has converted six consecutive save opportunities. Consistency has been an issue as he's allowed no hits five times and two or more hits five times in his first 10 appearances. He's averaging better than 13 punchouts per nine innings for the fourth straight season, one of the main reasons why he's been able to pitch around trouble.

Hendriks earned the save Monday after pitching a perfect ninth inning, striking out three in the 3-0 win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Hendriks snagged his first save since April 16 in a dominant fashion, retiring all three batters he faced via the punchout. The right-hander now has five saves on the season in six opportunities and he owns a 4.82 ERA and 1.82 WHIP with 15 strikeouts over 9.1 innings. After pitching back-to-back days without giving up so much as a hit, it appears Hendriks may be behind the back injury that shelved him for several days.

Hendriks (back) tossed a scoreless ninth inning in Saturday's 4-0 victory over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Hendriks did not enter in a save situation, but with the White Sox only up four runs and Hendriks not having pitched since Apr. 24, he got the call and sealed the deal. Hendriks was a bit rusty, throwing only 11 of his 20 pitches for strikes, but consider him good to go moving forward.

Hendriks (back) acknowledged that he likely won't be available out of the bullpen for Wednesday's game against the Royals, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hendriks noted that he experienced back tightness during his appearance in Saturday's loss to the Twins, but he still proceeded to pitch the next day in the series finale. He ended up taking his second loss of the season in the Twins' 6-4 victory, as he allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits and a walk in the 1.1-inning appearance. Though Hendriks said he's feeling better after resting the past two days, the White Sox will likely look to stay away from him Wednesday to extend him more recovery time. The 33-year-old closer is expected to throw a bullpen session instead Wednesday, and if he back responds well to the activity, he should avoid a trip to the injured list.

Hendriks is considered day-to-day due to back spasms but hasn't been ruled out from appearing in Tuesday's game against the Royals, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hendriks reportedly slipped in the dugout between the ninth and 10th innings Sunday against the Twins, shortly before allowing a walkoff homer to Byron Buxton. The issue doesn't appear to be serious, however, as it looks as though he'll return to action within a few days if not right away. If he doesn't wind up being cleared to pitch Tuesday, Kendall Graveman or Aaron Bummer could receive a save opportunity.

Hendriks is dealing with back tightness following Sunday's loss to Minnesota, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hendriks took the loss Sunday when he allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits and a walk while striking out one in 1.1 innings. Manager Tony La Russa downplayed the severity of the issue and indicated Hendriks said during the outing that he was fine. However, he'll receive treatment following Sunday's series finale and will have a day to rest ahead of Tuesday's matchup against the Royals.

Hendriks allowed two hits and a walk while striking out one across a scoreless ninth inning to pick up the save Saturday against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

The inning wasn't quite as nerve wracking as the line would suggest, as the walk Hendriks surrendered was intentional. However, he did allow a leadoff single and another base knock two batters later. Though Hendriks has successfully converted four of his five save chances this season, he's allowed multiple hitters to reach base in all but one appearance. Positively, he still gets strikeouts when needed, as he's racked up nine strikeouts as opposed to one walk across his five frames.

Hendriks struck out one batter in a scoreless ninth inning and earned a save over the Rays on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Hendriks quickly retired the Rays in order in the ninth, needing just 11 pitches to secure his third save of the year. It was his first scoreless appearance of the season after coughing up four runs (three earns) in his first three outings. The White Sox clearly still have full confidence in Hendriks as he's earned three saves in the last four days.

Hendriks picked up the save Wednesday against the Mariners after giving up one run on two hits during the ninth inning. He struck out two and didn't record a walk.

EDGE Analysis

For the second straight night, Hendricks came on with a multiple-run lead in the ninth and was able to lock down the victory despite allowing a run. The 33-year-old is off to a rocky start, as he's allowed multiple hits and given up at least one run in each of his first three outings, including a blown save during an Opening Day loss to the Tigers. Regardless, Hendriks still has plenty of job security after recording 38 saves and a 2.54 ERA for the White Sox last year, especially with Craig Kimbrel already shipped off to the Dodgers.

Hendriks picked up the save Tuesday against the Mariners after giving up one run on three hits during the ninth inning. He had three strikeouts and zero walks.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old entered with a 3-1 lead and needed 25 pitches to get through the frame, but Seattle only managed one run since all three hits allowed were singles. Hendriks is off to a rough start this season, as he picked up a loss and blown save Opening Day after surrendering two runs to Detroit. Still, Hendriks has plenty of job security after recording 38 saves with a 2.54 ERA for the White Sox last year, especially with Craig Kimbrel already shipped off to the Dodgers.
