Good morning. Be kind to everyone.
- White Sox closer Liam Hendriks announced on Sunday that he’s beginning treatment for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. We wish him a speedy recovery and a return to the mound.
- You’ve probably heard this already, but the Dodgers designated right-handed pitcher Trevor Bauer for assignment. He will be released if no one claims him.
- Bob Nightengale has a behind-the-scenes look at the Dodgers’ decision to release Bauer. The Dodgers had always intended to release Bauer, Nightengale reports, but they felt they owed to him to meet with him and see if he could change their minds.
