Hendriks, who turned 34 in February, announced
his diagnosis in early January and has been undergoing
treatment. Hahn said the team has received a promising update on
Hendriks' health.
"In recent days we've received positive news on Liam's
progress," Hahn told reporters. "He remains in treatment. He
still has some work ahead of him.
"However, he is making very good progress, and 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 the White Sox may be able to offer a timeline for the
right-hander's eventual return around the end of April.
Hendriks recorded 75 saves over his first two seasons with the
White Sox, making the All-Star team both years. His 38 saves in
2021 led the American League and he followed up with 37 last
season.
Hendriks, a native of Australia, also was an All-Star in 2019
when he was a member of the Oakland Athletics.
In 471 career games (44 starts) for the Minnesota Twins
(2011-13), Kansas City Royals (2014), Toronto Blue Jays
(2014-15), Oakland Athletics (2016-20) and White Sox, Hendriks
has a career 3.81 ERA with a 31-34 record and 115 saves. He has
724 strikeouts against 158 walks across 645 innings.
