Hendriks walked the only batter faced in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Hendriks was asked to quell New York's threat in the bottom of the ninth inning of a tied game. He entered with one out and the bases loaded, then walked Aaron Judge on five pitches, all of which were outside the strike zone. Following an initial rough patch to start the season, Hendriks has not allowed an earned run over his last 10 appearances, spanning 8.2 innings.

Hendriks allowed one hit and one walk over two-thirds of an inning in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
This was a non-save situation for Hendriks, who entered with a man on and the game tied in the ninth inning. Setup man Aaron Bummer squandered a lead in the eighth and departed after facing one batter in the ninth. Hendriks, who had been warming for a possible save opportunity before the Twins tied the game, was brought in to extend the game into extra frames. It was his first time pitching in five days.

Hendriks earned the save Thursday after tossing a perfect inning that included one strikeout.
EDGE Analysis
Tasked with protecting a two-run lead in the seventh inning of Thursday's twin bill, Hendriks sent Jonathan Schoop down on strikes before forcing Niko Goodrum to pop out and Wilson Ramos to ground out. The right-hander needed just 12 pitches to get the job done, nine of which were strikes. The flawless frame lowered his ERA to 4.35 and WHIP to 0.66 to go with five saves across 10.1 innings of work this season.

Hendriks (1-0) blew the save but still got the win Saturday against the Rangers. He allowed one run on one hit while fanning two across his lone inning of work.
EDGE Analysis
Hendriks entered the game with a 1-0 lead in the ninth but blew the save when Willie Calhoun took him deep with one out. However, the White Sox got the win in the bottom of the ninth following an RBI double from Nick Madrigal that scored Luis Robert -- meaning Hendriks still qualified for the win. The veteran is now 4-for-6 in save opportunities this season but his role as Chicago's closer is not in doubt at the moment.

Hendriks allowed one run on one hit and struck out five over 1.2 innings to earn the save in Friday's 9-7 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Hendriks worked around an Adolis Garcia solo home run, the third blast he's allowed in 8.1 innings, to log his fourth save in five opportunities. Apparently, manager Tony La Russa is not afraid to use his closer for multiple innings. Hendricks, who had two full days off since he last pitched, had the bullets to quell a two-on, one-out situation in the eighth inning, then close out the ninth. He threw 32 pitches Friday.
