White Sox put closer Liam Hendriks on IL with elbow issue

CHICAGO -- White Sox closer Liam Hendriks has been sidelined by elbow inflammation after he missed the start of the season while he recovered from non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Hendriks was placed on the 15-day injured list before Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Miami Marlins. Left-hander Tanner Banks was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte.

"It's unfortunate, especially how he got through what he got through," manager Pedro Grifol said. "It impacts us as a club emotionally. It impacts our roster, but again, we got to continue to move forward and hopefully he can recover from this.
