ARLINGTON, Texas — All-Star closer Liam Hendriks, who made an inspiring comeback from Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma to pitch for the White Sox this season, underwent surgery Wednesday morning to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.
Hendriks’ recovery is expected to take approximately 12-14 months, which effectively means he will not pitch next season, his last under a four-year, $54 million deal signed in January 2021. The Tommy John procedure was performed by Dr. Keith Meister at TMI Sports Medicine and Orthopedic Surgery in Arlington, Texas.
