Liam Hendriks's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Liam Hendriks (elbow) is set to throw two more bullpen sessions in the upcoming days after logging a successful one on Wednesday, July 3. According to manager Alex Cora, the 35-year-old is only throwing fastballs for now and is "far off" from a potential rehab assignment. Hendriks logged five innings last season before undergoing Tommy John surgery in August. This was after the three-time All-Star made a recovery from non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The right-hander is a name to keep an eye on in the second half of the summer, as he could claim all save opportunities in Boston when he returns to the mound.

Boston Red Sox reliever Liam Hendriks (elbow) estimated he threw around 15 pitches off a mound (all fastballs) in his first bullpen session on Wednesday since having Tommy John surgery last August. Hendriks thinks he can return in August, although he notes that he's the one who has come up with that timetable and not the Red Sox. The 35-year-old will remain on the 60-day injured list for at least another month, but the veteran right-hander is making progress after having elbow reconstruction last year. The three-time All-Star recovered from cancer in 2023 with the White Sox before needing elbow surgery, so he's had a pretty eventful last year. The Australian hurler has 116 career saves in 13 big-league seasons, but the Red Sox are likely to ease him in later in the second half of the season. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect much.

It sounds like Hendriks is making progress, but still isn't expected to contribute to the Red Sox bullpen this season. This is a step forward in what is going to be a lengthy rehab process for Hendriks.
