Red Sox manager Alex Cora indicated that Liam Hendriks is likely to be shut down due to forearm soreness unrelated to his Tommy John surgery, adding that a scan will be reviewed by the team physician, who performed Hendriks' surgery last year.
Cora revealed that although Hendriks underwent an MRI and the results showed nothing structurally concerning, the forearm soreness still poses a significant concern. It appears that this could halt his comeback efforts, and clarity will come in the following days.
Liam Hendriks, a three-time All-Star and AL Comeback Player of the Year in 2023, previously missed the start of the season due to non-Hodgkin lymphoma but returned to the field only to face additional physical setbacks this fall.
With a $10 million, two-year contract in place, Hendriks had displayed promise early in his rehab with solid performance metrics in the minors; however, the recent tightness he experienced suggests a troublesome path ahead for the seasoned pitcher.
