White Sox's Liam Hendriks: Undergoes Tommy John surgery

Hendriks (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery Wednesday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

At last check, Hendriks was taking encouraging steps forward in his recovery from a bout of right elbow inflammation, but something must have gone wrong in a recent throwing session. The veteran reliever made a triumphant return earlier this season after he recovered non-Hodgkin lymphoma, but he wound up appearing in only five games for the White Sox and will now be sidelined until at least late 2024.
