Hendriks (elbow) pitched a prefect fifth inning for Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.

Hendriks, making the first appearance of a rehab assignment, needed 12 pitches (10 strikes) to dispatch the side in order on a flyout and two groundouts. He threw seven four-seam fastballs (topping out at 95.6 miles per hour), one curveball and one slider, per Baseball Savant. Hendriks is confident he'll return from the 60-day injured list and pitch in the majors later this season, and he could be a helpful piece out of the bullpen as the Red Sox attempt to make the postseason.
