Hendriks progressed to throwing off flat ground as he was monitored by trainers watching and tracking his metrics. He is continuing to work his way back from Tommy John surgery.

The Red Sox have signed Liam Hendriks to a two-year, $10 million deal.

Hendriks is recovering from Tommy John surgery and is hoping to return midseason. The deal includes a mutual option for 2026, so the Red Sox are hoping that Hendriks will be able to return to his All-Star form when he recovers from surgery.

Liam Hendriks has multiple offers and has set a deadline of Thursday to sign with a team.

According to Passan, if Hendriks doesn't sign now, he would keep rehabbing from Tommy John surgery on his own and throw for teams in late July before signing for the stretch run. He had his club option declined by the White Sox back in November.

The Chicago White Sox have declined their $15 million club option on relief pitcher Liam Hendriks.

The White Sox will still owe Hendriks $15 million but that money is now deferred with the team declining his 2024 option. The right-hander is now a free agent after winning MLB Comeback Player of the Year in 2023 but he is likely to miss the entire 2024 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in August. He posted a 5.40 ERA in just five outings after returning from a cancer Diagnosis in 2023.

The White Sox transferred Liam Hendriks to the 60-day IL.

This was a move to open a roster spot as the White Sox claimed Deivi García off waivers from the New York Yankees. Hendriks underwent Tommy John surgery last week and is expected to be sidelined the rest of this year and potentially all of next season.
