Red Sox roster: Liam Hendriks heads to IL again; journeyman replaces him
ATLANTA — The Red Sox placed veteran reliever Liam Hendriks on the 15-day injured list before Friday's game, confirming what multiple sources told MassLive. The club deemed the injury to be 'right hip inflammation.' A source with knowledge of Hendriks' recent medical history said Hendriks has been dealing with multiple hernias, contending that the issues date back to around May 8, when Hendriks went two innings for the first time. According to the source, the righty has been pitching through the issue in recent weeks but it got to a point where an IL stint was most logical. Advertisement 'He has been grinding through this,' confirmed manager Alex Cora. 'He grinded through it for a few weeks and after the last one, he he felt like he couldn't grind through it anymore. We put him on the IL and hopefully, we can take care of him right away and he can come back as soon as possible.' Hendriks, a 36-year-old two-time All-Star, made his long-awaited Red Sox debut on April 20 after spending the better part of two years rehabbing from Tommy John surgery (and experiencing various setbacks). Since being activated, Hendriks has been rather inconsistent for Boston. He owns a 6.59 ERA while allowing 12 hits in 13 ⅔ innings over 14 games. He has struck out 12 and walked seven batters. Hendriks was originally thrust into a low-leverage role, and after a rocky debut on Easter, put together nine straight scoreless innings over eight outings. The last five outings, since May 16, have not gone well, as Hendriks has been charged with eight earned runs on five hits in 3 ⅔ innings (19.64 ERA). He has been charged with two losses in that span and gave up a walk-off grand slam to Christian Yelich in Milwaukee on Tuesday. 'For him to be able to compete, that means a lot,' Cora said. 'Obviously, we want him healthy. Just go out there healthy and see how it goes. But right now, this is the smart thing to do.' Advertisement Hendriks, who made headlines last week when he publicly expressed his frustrations with his role and lack of usage in Boston's bullpen, looked hobbled on the mound during some recent outings, including last weekend against the Orioles. It's unclear how long he will be sidelined. Hendriks is in the final year of a two-year, $10 million contract that includes significant incentives based on appearances and games finished. There's also a mutual option for 2026. In Hendriks' place, journeyman righty Nick Burdi was called up, as previously reported. Burdi, a 32-year-old journeyman who signed a minor league deal with the Red Sox at the beginning of spring training, will be active Friday night against the Braves. This stint is his second in the big leagues this season; he logged 2 ⅓ shutout innings in two appearances against Atlanta on May 16-17 before being optioned back to the WooSox on May 20. At Triple-A, he owns a stellar 0.48 ERA (1 earned run in 18 ⅔ innings) while striking out 26 batters. He has allowed 10 hits and walked just five batters in 15 appearances. Boston's series with the Braves begins Friday night at 7:15 p.m. ET. The game is on Apple TV+. More Red Sox coverage Read the original article on MassLive.
