Liam Hendriks' Major League Baseball comeback might have to wait until next year, with the Australian relief pitcher suffering a setback.
While Hendriks continues to be lauded off the field, he felt tightness in his elbow after pitching in a minor league game last week and that's put his return on hold.
Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said on Thursday (AEST) that Hendriks' long-awaited debut for the team was "still in a holding pattern".
