Liam Hendriks is ready to rejoin the Chicago White Sox after recovering from non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The White Sox posted a video on Twitter on Sunday welcoming Hendriks back to the team, and the eccentric closer confirmed his return in an Instagram post that read, 'See you soon Southside,' along with Monday's date.

The 34-year-old Hendriks had no record and a 10.80 ERA in six rehab appearances with Triple-A Charlotte. The Australian right-hander allowed one run and one hit in one inning in his last game with the Knights on May 16. The White Sox begin a six-game homestand on Monday night with the first of three against the Los Angeles Angels. The team has said all along that Hendriks' return depends entirely on how he is feeling. He threw live BP on Friday.
Hendriks could provide a big lift for a team that has struggled for much of the season. The White Sox return home after dropping three of four in Detroit, blowing late leads on Saturday and Sunday. Hendriks has 115 saves and a 3.81 ERA over 12 seasons with Minnesota, Toronto, Kansas City, Oakland and the Sox. He signed a $54 million, three-year deal with the White Sox in January 2021.
