Hendriks was called upon to get the final five outs in Wednesday's victory over the Pirates, allowing no runs on one hit while registering two strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
The closer has now collected a save in consecutive nights and his season total is up to 31. It was his third five-out save in his last six appearances as he has proven to be very versatile at the back end of the White Sox bullpen. In his last seven outings he has a 1.00 ERA and 0.67 WHIP with 12 strikeouts over nine innings pitched.

Hendriks picked up the save Tuesday pitching one inning while giving up one hit to the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old gave up a single to Kevin Newman with one out, but induced a game-ending double play by Hoy Park the next batter he faced. The save marked his 30th of the season which is second only to Mark Melancon's 35. After back-to-back difficult outings against the Yankees earlier this month where he surrendered 6 total runs, he has rebounded nicely and has only given up one run over his last six appearances.

Hendriks was not available to pitch Wednesday and may not be ready to pitch in Thursday's series finale against Toronto, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
White Sox manager Tony La Russa said Hendriks was not available Wednesday, after the closer threw 39 pitches for the final five outs in Tuesday's win. La Russa added it's possible he won't be ready for Thursday's afternoon game. Craig Kimbrel is ready to pitch the ninth inning should a save situation arise.

Hendriks collected his 29th save of the season in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jays. He worked 1.2 innings and gave up one run on three hits and a walk while striking out a batter.
EDGE Analysis
With one out and two runners on base and the White Sox holding a four-run lead, Hendriks was summoned from the bullpen to put out the fire. After walking Marcus Semien to load the bases, Hendriks induced a grounder from Vladimir Guerrero for an inning-ending double play. Hendriks would go on to let a run during the bottom of the ninth, but his good work from an inning earlier was enough for him to scoop up the save. Hendriks now trails only the Padres' Mark Melancon (34) for the MLB lead in the category.

Hendriks (8-3) struck out one over a perfect 10th inning to earn the win over the Rays in 11 innings on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Hendriks was prepping for a save opportunity before Tampa Bay plated three in the bottom of the eighth inning, changing manager Tony La Russa's deployment of relievers. After Chicago tied the game in the top of the ninth, Garrett Crochet got the game into extra frames where Hendriks and Ryan Tepera took over. For Hendriks, it was a third straight scoreless and hitless outing following a two-game hiccup against the Yankees last week.

Hendriks struck out three over 1.2 scoreless and hitless innings to pick up the save in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Oakland. The save was his 28th of the season.
EDGE Analysis
After a rough two-game stretch against the Yankees last week, Hendriks closed the door on the Athletics for the second straight appearance. The closer told Scott Merkin of MLB.com that, through the unlikely help of his wife, he noticed he was tipping pitches. Following his wife's suggestion, Hendriks studied video and noticed a tell, which led to an adjustment. He's struck out six without giving up a hit over 2.2 innings since.

Hendricks struck out the side in the ninth inning to record the save in Monday's 5-2 win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Hendricks, who had allowed three home runs in his last two ninth-inning appearances, had no issues dispatching Oakland batters Monday. He was the third in a line of dominant relief performances, following Michael Kopech (two innings, three strikeouts) and Craig Kimbrel (one inning, three strikeouts). The save was Hendriks' 27th and allays concerns that built up over the previous two outings.

Hendriks (7-3) was tagged with the loss Saturday against the Yankees, allowing three runs (two earned) on two hits in one-third of an inning.
EDGE Analysis
Hendriks entered a 4-4 game in the 10th inning and immediately gave up an RBI single to Aaron Judge and a two-run home run to Joey Gallo. The latter was the 11th homer allowed by Hendriks this season and the third in his last two outings. The veteran reliever has been torched for seven runs (six earned) in his two appearances in the series with the Yankees, upping his season ERA from 2.40 to 3.42.

Hendriks (7-2) earned the win after blowing a save Thursday against the Yankees, giving up four runs on three hits and a walk in one inning. He also had three strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Hendriks was knocked around by the middle of the New York lineup in the top of the ninth inning, with two-run blasts by Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton turning a 7-4 Chicago lead into an 8-7 deficit. Fortunately for Hendriks, Tim Anderson responded with a two-run walk-off homer in the bottom of the frame, securing the right-hander's seventh relief win of the season. The longball has been an issue all year for Hendriks, who has now allowed 10 of them in 49.2 innings, his most since becoming a full-time reliever in 2015. He has blown six of his 32 save opportunities while logging a 3.08 ERA and 0.79 WHIP.

Hendriks (6-2) allowed one hit and no walks while striking out four in 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the win over the Cubs on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Hendriks entered Friday's game with two outs in the eighth inning after Craig Kimbrel gave up a game-tying home run, and the 32-year-old struck out four of the five batters he faced. Hendriks was charged with a blown save July 28, but he's earned two wins and a save by tossing 3.1 scoreless frames across his last three outings.
