Red Sox relief pitcher Liam Hendriks, recovering from Tommy John surgery, took a significant step in his return by throwing a live batting practice session at Fenway Park.
Manager Alex Cora expressed optimism about Hendriks' progress after he threw 24 pitches, noting that while he faced some challenges, his fastball stood out as a valuable asset.
Despite the addition of new relief pitchers, the Red Sox remain troubled by bullpen issues, which heightens the urgency for Hendriks' return as the postseason approaches.
Cora emphasized caution in Hendriks' recovery process amidst the tight American League wild card race, suggesting a possible rehab assignment over the weekend to ensure a safe comeback.
