Liam Hendriks News
The results of his outing were nowhere near as important as its meaning for Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Liam Hendriks in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Angels. Making his 2023 debut after recovering from non-Hodgkins lymphoma, Hendriks received several ovations throughout the evening. He pitched the eighth inning and did not factor, allowing two runs on three hits and a walk with no strikeouts. The veteran topped out at 96.6 MPH and should be eased back into primary closing duties. Hendriks has been a top fantasy closer for the past several seasons and should eventually receive the opportunity to be one once again this season.
Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Liam Hendriks was officially activated from the 15-day injured list on Monday and reliever Jimmy Lambert (ankle) was placed on the injured list with right-ankle inflammation in a corresponding move, according to general manager Rick Hahn. Hendriks will be making his 2023 debut when he gets into a game after missing all of the season to this point while recovering from non-Hodgkins lymphoma. The 34-year-old veteran reliever will probably be eased back into high-leverage situations at the back end of Chicago's bullpen, but he's completely cancer-free and is fully expected to return to primary closing duties for the Pale Hose sooner than later. Hendriks is rostered in 75% of Yahoo leagues, and that number should be on the rise.
Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Liam Hendriks is expected to be activated prior to Monday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The right-hander is working his way back after being diagnosed with Stage 4 Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in January. He was eased back into action after undergoing cancer treatment. Hendriks made six rehab appearances and threw a bullpen session as well. It appears the 33-year-old is ready to rejoin the White Sox bullpen. He'll immediately resume his role as the closer, so Hendriks should probably be rostered in all formats.

Chicago White Sox closer Liam Hendriks should once again be one of the sport's best closers next season, both in terms of real-life baseball and fantasy baseball. The 33-year-old is coming off yet another strong season in 2022, pitching to a 2.81 ERA and a 2.68 FIP in 57.2 innings for the White Sox. He struck out 85 batters during that span while scattering just 16 walks and seven home runs. Perhaps most crucially, at least from a fantasy standpoint, Hendriks finished with 37 saves, topping the 35-save mark for the second season in a row. Jose Abreu left the White Sox during the offseason, but the team's bullpen remains largely in place, which should benefit Hendriks, his save chances, and his general fantasy upside with the likes of Reynaldo Lopez, Kendall Graveman, Joe Kelly, Garrett Crochet, and Aaron Bummer all on hand to build a bridge to the veteran closer. Hendriks should once again be one of fantasy's best closers in 2023, right up there with the likes of Edwin Diaz and Emmanuel Clase.
