>>White Sox Move Liam Hendriks To Injured List
(Chicago, IL) — The Chicago White Sox are losing their All-Star reliever for the near-future. Right-hander Liam Hendriks was placed on the 15-day injured list with elbow inflammation on Sunday. Hendriks was sidelined for the first two months of the season after being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma during the offseason. In five games since his return from beating cancer, Hendriks was 2-and-0 with one save and a 5.40 ERA. The Southsiders recalled reliever Tanner Banks from Triple-A Charlotte to replace Hendriks in the interim.

The 36-year-old outfielder is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks due to the injury.
