    Red Sox's Liam Hendriks: Unlikely to pitch this season

    Manager Alex Cora said Friday that Liam Hendriks (elbow) is likely to be shut down for the rest of the regular season, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.Hendriks has been on the shelf all season while recovering from Tommy John surgery performed last August. He began a rehab assignment in mid-August, and it looked like the 35-year-old reliever was poised to join the Boston Red Sox bullpen in early September until he suffered a setback. There was still some hope that he would be able to return after receiving a cortisone injection in his right elbow Monday, but Cora relayed Friday that Hendriks hasn't played catch since getting the shot. With just nine games left in the regular season, it appears the veteran reliever will have to wait until 2025 to make his debut in a Red Sox uniform.

    Red Sox's Liam Hendriks: May not be shut down after all

    Liam Hendriks said Friday that he will receive a cortisone injection in his right elbow Monday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.Hendriks added that an MRI revealed fluid sacs near his right elbow, which could be taken care of with a cortisone shot, per Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic. Hendriks is hoping to join the Boston bullpen for the last week or two of the regular season, but that will largely depend on the Boston Red Sox staying in the AL wild-card race. He's in the final stretch of his recovery from Tommy John surgery that he underwent in August of 2023.

    Red Sox's Liam Hendriks: Likely to be shut down

    Liam Hendriks (elbow) will likely be shut down from throwing for the remainder of the season, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.An MRI on Hendriks' elbow came back negative after he suffered a minor setback in his recovery last week, but it appears the 35-year-old reliever will not pitch in the majors this season. He threw five scoreless innings across six appearances between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester during his rehab assignment and will now presumably shift his focus to getting ready for the start of the 2025 campaign.

    Red Sox's Liam Hendriks: Suffers minor setback

    Liam Hendriks (elbow) had a minor setback in his rehab this week but said Friday that he remains convinced he will return this season, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.The setback prevented Hendriks from making rehab appearances on back-to-back days this week, as had been previously planned. Hendriks also said that while he expects to be effective upon his return, he thinks his stuff will fully bounce back to pre-surgery levels in 2025, when he will be under contract with Boston for one more season.

    Red Sox's Liam Hendriks: Could return as soon as Saturday

    Liam Hendriks (elbow) will make back-to-back appearances with Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday and Thursday and could be activated from the 60-day injured list as soon as Saturday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.Hendriks has allowed just one unearned run over his first four rehab innings, but he averaged just 92.8 mph with his fastball and 83.8 mph with his slider in his last appearance. Both numbers are significant dips from last season and down considerably from Hendriks' peak velocities in past years. That's not terribly surprising given his long layoff after elbow surgery, but the Boston Red Sox might be anxious to put him into high-leverage spots until he rediscovers some velocity.
