CLEVELAND — Liam Hendriks had what appeared to be one of his best throwing sessions yet during his comeback process from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, impressing White Sox manager Pedro Grifol with his stuff during a live batting practice session Monday at Progressive Field.
Grifol, who had a batter’s eye view of it standing in the batter’s box for some of Hendriks’ pitches, said the Sox’ All-Star closer will likely throw live batting practice again Thursday in Detroit. That would seem to indicate a possible return in uniform next week, perhaps as soon as when the Sox begin a homestand against the Angels next Monday.
