Liam Hendriks Set To Pitch Again On Sunday, Nearing Major League Return
2 months agoBoston Red Sox relief pitcher Liam Hendriks (elbow) is set to make another rehab appearance on Sunday and could return to the major leagues as early as the first or second week of September, according to MLB.com. Hendriks underwent Tommy John surgery last August and has looked quite sharp through his first innings of rehab work. The right-hander logged one shutout inning at Double-A and has recently moved up to Triple-A, where he has tossed three innings of one-hit ball. The 35-year-old is likely to take on a high-leverage role when he returns to the major leagues and should see plenty of save opportunities down the stretch as Boston remains in the Wild Card race. Fantasy managers looking to find more saves on the waiver wire should consider stashing Hendriks as he nears the end of his rehab assignment.
