Hendriks gave White Sox fans a positive update on his battle with non-Hodgkin lymphoma before the team’s home opener, saying his last round of chemo was on the way.
“These past 5 months have been both the quickest and slowest of my life. Being able to ring this victory bell has been one of the most emotional things I’ve ever done. I cannot thank my team of doctors and nurses enough for coming up with the best medical plan for me. No words can express the gratitude I have for them saving my life.”“To my wife: You came to every single appointment. You held my hand every step of the way,” Hendriks said.
“To family, friends and fans: Your support kept me going. You kept me in the right frame of mind to beat this. Your encouragement made a bigger difference than you will ever know. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”Diamond Images/Getty ImagesLuckily, that was the case for Hendriks, who can now focus on baseball. He had 37 saves in 2022 and a league-high 38 in 2021, both All-Star campaigns.InstagramHendriks will be entering his 13th season in MLB, his third with the White Sox.
Since his transition to a reliever, the Perth, Australia, native has made quite a career getting hitters out and being consistent, especially since his first All-Star campaign in 2019 with the Oakland Athletics. Liam Hendriks, who had 85 strikeouts in 57.2 innings with a 2.81 ERA last season, will be entering his 13th season in MLB — his third with the White Sox.There’s no timetable for when Hendriks will return to the White Sox this season.
