Hendriks earned a spot on the American League roster for next week’s All-Star Game, one of three Chicago White Sox players announced Sunday by Major League Baseball. He’ll be joined by starting pitchers Carlos Rodón and Lance Lynn.
“That’s always cool,” Hendriks said. “Obviously Lance and Carlos deserve this. They’ve had outstanding years and I happen to be riding their coattails a little bit. It means a lot to me, not only because it’s my second but I’m the first Australian to ever go to two.”
The Chicago Cubs had two players — third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant and closer Craig Kimbrel — selected to the National League team.
