On the mound, Liam Hendriks has seen high highs and low lows in his 14-year MLB tenure. Off it, he’s battled through more than many of his peers.
And, through all of it, the relief pitcher is still optimistic about his future with the Red Sox.
Hendriks is currently recovering from Tommy John surgery after suffering an injury shortly into his 2023 campaign. That put a damper on what was a remarkable return for Hendriks, who’d been diagnosed with Stage 4 non-Hodgkin lymphoma in Dec. 2022.
After going through the unimaginable health scare at 33 years old, Hendriks returned to the MLB in late May of 2023.
