Liam Hendriks allowed one run on two hits and struck out two in one inning, taking a blown save in Sunday's 4-3 extra-inning loss versus the Royals.
Fantasy Impact
Hendriks entered the game in the ninth inning with a 3-2 lead. He blew the save by surrendering the game-tying homer to Carlos Santana. Hendriks has struggled with the White Sox to start the season, owning an 8.10 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and five strikeouts across three appearances. Despite the 32-year-old’s recent struggles, Hendriks is still an elite closer and will look for better results in his next save opportunity.
Liam Hendriks struck out one across a perfect inning during Wednesday’s 8-4 loss to the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact
Hendriks entered the game in a non-save situation and tossed a perfect inning during Wednesday’s loss. It was only his second appearance for the White Sox this season. Hendriks is one of the top closers in baseball after converting 14 saves along with a 1.78 ERA and 0.67 WHIP for the Athletics in 2020.
Liam Hendriks allowed two runs on two hits and one walk while striking out two over 1 1/3 innings to earn the save in Friday’s 12-8 win over the Angels.
Fantasy Impact
Hendriks entered the eighth inning with two on and two out. He recorded the final out to get out of the eighth inning jam. Hendriks was shaky overall in his first save opportunity with the White Sox. The elite closer allowed a couple of hits and yielded a two-run homer to Shohei Ohtani. Hendriks will look to bounce back in his next appearance out of the bullpen.
Liam Hendriks is pitching today after dealing with a bout of kidney stones.
Fantasy Impact
Hendriks had not pitched for a week, but given that we are a week out from Opening Day, it looks like he should be ready for the start of the season. Lock him in as a top-five closer as we head into the final weekend of draft season.
Liam Hendriks has reportedly been dealing with kidney stones, according to manager Tony La Russa. La Russa indicated there's a 'good chance' Hendriks could pitch this weekend.
Fantasy Impact
Hendriks hasn't pitched in the past week, but he did throw a bullpen on Wednesday. The White Sox closer has pitched 3 innings so far this spring, and Chicago will be hoping to get him a few more appearances before the regular season opens next week. There has been no official word from the team on whether this affects Hendriks' availability for Opening Day, but it seems like he is headed in the right direction and will be ready sooner rather than later. Hendriks is currently the second ranked RP in the expert consensus rankings, and this minor setback shouldn't impact his fantasy value.
