Just a few months ago, the Chicago White Sox closer Liam Hendriks was sadly diagnosed with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. This news was obviously a shock to Hendriks and his family, but since the diagnosis he’s remained in fantastic spirits. The White Sox have consistently showed their support for the Hendriks family during this tough time.
Yesterday, it was announced that Hendriks completed his final chemotherapy treatment and rang the cancer free bell. Truly an emotional moment that you can watch below. He also addressed his fans via Instagram in a touching post.

Hendriks says he plans to be back playing as soon as he can, as some predict early May or possibly June. There’s obviously no rush from the Chicago White Sox organization. The White Sox are off to a 3-3 start to the 2023 season and will receive a definite boost when Liam Hendriks does indeed return.
