Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hendriks missed the early stages of the 2023 season while recovering from treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Impressively, he returned to the White Sox bullpen in late May, though he was limited to just five appearances before undergoing season-ending Tommy John surgery. With the 34-year-old expected to miss the majority, if not all, of the 2024 season, Chicago declined its $15 million team option, thus making him a free-agent. Despite him being unavailable for the upcoming campaign, Hendriks still landed a multi-year deal with the Red Sox on the strength of his track record as a veteran closer with tremendous clubhouse impact.

May not be shut down after all
Hendriks said Friday that he will receive a cortisone injection in his right elbow Monday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
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 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.

Based on Hendriks' lofty 2022 draft cost - he was one of the top two closers off the board, often within the first few rounds - one might suggest that he had a down year. While he did not produce at the level of his 2019-2021 seasons, the veteran was still outstanding. Hendriks was third in the league with 37 saves, marking the third consecutive year he finished top 3 or better in the category. The Aussie also carried a 98th percentile strikeout rate (36.2%) and elite 18.4% swinging strike percentage. His command was worse, but still above average overall and his 29.4% K-BB% ranked sixth among qualified relievers. Hendriks missed 3 weeks last summer with a forearm strain, which is mildly concerning as he enters his age-34 season. Some additional red flags include a below average hard-hit rate and recent trend of starting the season slow. Hendriks announced in January he's been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and is undergoing treatment, so baseball is obviously a secondary concern for the foreseeable future. Hendriks isn't expected to be available for Opening Day, and it's unclear if/when he'll be able to take the mound in 2023.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Sets Thursday deadline
Hendriks, who is rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, has received offers from multiple teams and set Thursday as an initial deadline to sign, reports Jeff Passan of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
If the right-hander is unable to reach a deal this week, he apparently plans to continue rehabbing on his own before throwing for teams in late July. Hendriks hopes to return for the stretch run of 2024, but even minor bumps in his rehab program could make that difficult given he just underwent the procedure in early August.
