When new Cubs first baseman Trey Mancini found out that White Sox reliever Liam Hendriks had been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, he tracked down Hendriks’ phone number.

On Hendriks’ first day of treatment, Mancini, a cancer survivor, reached out to say, “If you need any advice, I’m here.”

“Different chemos,” Mancini said Monday. “But at the same time, you’re not going to be feeling ideal whenever you’re going through it. So, I wanted him to know I have some advice at least on what makes you feel better during chemo and how to get through it a little bit better.
