White Sox Closer Liam Hendriks Making 'Very Good Progress' in Cancer Treatment

Chicago White Sox general manager Rick Hahn told reporters Wednesday closer Liam Hendriks, who started treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma in January, "is making very good progress" as he works toward an eventual return to the field.

"While we don't currently have a specific timeline available to share with you on his potential return, those of you that pay close attention to our roster will notice that we have not placed him on the 60-day IL, and that is on purpose," Hahn said, suggesting the right-hander could be back on the mound before June.

The general manager explained he hopes to provide more specifics regarding a timeline by late April.
