Liam Hendriks Fantasy Stats

Boston Red Sox right-handed reliever Liam Hendriks (hip, forearm) has been shut down with forearm tightness, making it unlikely that he'll return this season. Hendriks has been on the IL since late May with inflammation in his right hip, but he had been rehabbing in hopes of returning this year. Assuming Hendriks is done for 2025, he'll finish with a 6.59 ERA, a 1.39 WHIP, and 12:7 K:BB in 13 2/3 innings. Hendriks' forearm issues are especially ominous after he missed all of 2024 while recovering from Tommy John surgery. However, the soon-to-be 37-year-old "very much" wants to continue his career in 2026. "I got a new elbow for a reason," said Hendriks, who's set to become a free agent in the offseason.

Boston Red Sox reliever Liam Hendriks (hip) has continued progressing through his throwing program. The 36-year-old has increased his throwing distance up to 105 feet and hopes to extend that even further to 120 feet on August 30. If all goes well, he could work his way to throwing from a mound shortly afterward, as he continues to try to return to the Red Sox this season. Hendriks last pitched on May 27, and he was placed on the Injured List three days later with hip inflammation. As long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks, the former All-Star has a chance to rejoin the Red Sox bullpen later in September, but he still has a long way to go to make that happen.

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said over the weekend that injured reliever Liam Hendriks (hip) was unlikely to return this season. It turns out that Hendriks does expect to come back, as he told reporters on Monday that Cora's statement was "a slip of the tongue." The Red Sox have gone most of 2025 without Hendriks, who didn't debut until late April after recovering from Tommy John surgery and hasn't pitched since May 27 as a result of hip inflammation. When he has been healthy enough to pitch this season, the 36-year-old has struggled to a 6.59 ERA with a 1.39 WHIP, 12 strikeouts, and seven walks in 13 2/3 innings. Hendriks, a three-time All-Star, could rejoin Boston's bullpen in September.

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora is not confident that reliever Liam Hendriks (hip) will return this season, Tim Healey of the Boston Globe reports. Hendriks, who last pitched May 27, has been out for over two months with hip inflammation. The Red Sox signed the three-time All-Star to a two-year, $10 million contract before the 2024 season, but it appears that it will go down as a failed investment. Hendriks, 36, missed all of last season while recovering from Tommy John surgery and went 0-2 with a 6.59 ERA, a 1.39 WHIP, and 12:7 K:BB in 13 2/3 innings this year before suffering the hip injury.

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Liam Hendriks (hip) appears to be making progress as he threw from 120 feet on Saturday. Hendriks has been sidelined since May 28 due to right hip inflammation. He was transferred to the 60-day injured list and there really hasn't been many updates on his status since then. The Red Sox are hopeful that Hendriks can be an option for them down the stretch of the season. The timetable for his return is unclear, but sometime in August seems possible. Hendriks is unlikely to be a closing option, so there's probably no fantasy value here.

Boston Red Sox reliever Liam Hendriks (hip) has suffered a setback in his recovery from right hip inflammation and will go for a second opinion, according to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. The news comes on the heels of Boston moving Hendriks from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL earlier Tuesday. Hendriks hasn't pitched in the majors since May 27, and now the 36-year-old surely won't return until at least August. Hendriks missed all of last season while recovering from the Tommy John surgery he underwent in August 2023. The three-time All-Star was able to come back from that procedure this year, but the hip injury has limited him to 13 2/3 innings of 6.59 ERA ball.

Boston Red Sox relievers Liam Hendriks (hip) and Justin Slaten (shoulder) are both in the midst of throwing programs, with Hendriks playing catch up to 150 feet, according to the Boston Herald's Gabrielle Starr. Hendriks landed on the injured list back on May 30 with right-hip inflammation but resumed throwing in the middle of June. However, the 36-year-old veteran is a ways off from a return and most likely won't be back in Boston's bullpen as a setup man until after the mid-July All-Star break. The Australian native is a three-time All-Star and has 116 career saves, but he missed all of last year due to injury and was rusty in 14 relief outings with Boston this year, allowing 11 runs (10 earned) with seven walks and 12 K's in 13 2/3 frames. Slaten has been out a month with shoulder inflammation and also likely won't be back until the second half.

The Boston Red Sox placed right-handed reliever Liam Hendriks (hip) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to May 28) with right-hip inflammation on Friday and recalled right-hander Nick Burdi from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move, according to MLB.com's Ian Browne. Hendriks' injury helps explain why the 36-year-old Aussie veteran has allowed nine runs (eight earned) on five hits (one homer) while walking three and striking out four in 3 2/3 innings over his last five appearances for the BoSox. It's unclear if he'll be able to return when he's eligible to come off the IL on June 13. Before his tough five-game stretch, Hendricks had only allowed two earned runs with four walks and eight strikeouts in 10 innings over his first nine appearances in 2025. The three-time All-Star has 116 career saves but missed all of 2024 due to injury and only pitched in five games in 2023.

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Liam Hendriks (elbow) is expected to be activated off the 15-day injured list prior to Saturday's contest against the Chicago White Sox. Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com noted that Hunter Dobbins is likely heading back to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Hendriks signed a two-year deal with the Red Sox before the 2024 campaign but has yet to make an appearance for them. He underwent Tommy John in 2023 and then hit the 15-day IL at the start of the 2205 campaign due to elbow inflammation. He has made three rehab appearances and fired three shutout frames. He has struck out five batters, served up two walks, and has allowed just one hit. Even though Aroldis Chapman and Justin Slaten have been the go-to options in the ninth inning, fantasy managers should expect Hendriks to see save situations throughout the campaign.

According to Chris Cotillo of Masslive.com, Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Liam Hendriks (elbow) is set to pitch again on Sunday and is nearing a return to the big leagues. As a relief pitcher, Hendriks will not need as long of a ramp-up period as the other injured pitchers in Boston, like Lucas Giolito (hamstring) and Brayan Bello (shoulder). Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status after his second rehab outing on Sunday, as he could be cleared to return to Boston next week. During his first rehab outing, Hendriks logged one inning and allowed one hit while striking out three batters. He has been on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation since the start of the campaign. When he does return, he will compete with Aroldis Chapman for save opportunities.
