Hendriks dropped his ERA to 9.00 over two innings, bouncing back after a rocky debut. If the Red Sox work him back into late-inning roles, he could regain relevance quickly. Keep him on the radar in saves/holds leagues.

The Red Sox activated Liam Hendriks from the 15-day injured list.

Hendriks gets activated as expected. He will likely be eased back early on before he is officially brought back into high leverage situations.

Liam Hendriks could be activated from the injured list on Saturday.

Hendriks has been on his rehab assignment. Hunter Dobbins could be optioned after making a spot start on Friday.

Hendriks threw a shutout inning on Wednesday with Double-A Portland, striking out one and walking one on 18 pitches.

Hendriks was sharp in his third rehab appearance, working around a walk to post another scoreless inning and maintain a perfect ERA through three outings. While he acknowledged after the game that his fastball command wasn't quite there, he felt good physically and was pleased with his slider's shape and location. His fastball velocity ranged from 94-96 mph, a positive indicator of his readiness. Barring any setbacks, Hendriks is expected to be activated this weekend for the series against the Chicago White Sox.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Liam Hendriks to make one more rehab appearance.

Fantasy Impact

It is unclear when exactly the rehab appearance will come this week. If all goes well, he could be activated this weekend.
