Column: Liam Hendriks’ return could be the only thing shellshocked Chicago White Sox fans have to look forward to

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 14:00:29 GMT

Liam Hendriks’ return to the mound for the Chicago White Sox has been a moment fans have been looking forward to since the news of his cancer was announced in January.No one knew whether it even would be possible for Hendriks to come back from non-Hodgkin lymphoma this season, so having him back in late May seems like a gift.It’s a tribute to Hendriks’ perseverance and work ethic, two traits that have defined his baseball journey and made him an elite closer.Hendriks was not available to speak with the media Thursday when he returned to White Sox Park to map out the next steps in his rehab, which includes a bullpen session or throwing live batting practice Friday.How Hendriks feels Saturday will determine whether he returns to the minors for more work, gets activated over the weekend or waits for the upcoming trip to Cleveland and Detroit.Manager Pedro Grifol said before Thursday’s game that the Sox haven’t discussed where to start him if he’s ind...

Ryan Weber’s heartbeat sets tone for Yankees’ ‘funky bunch’ bullpen

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 14:00:29 GMT

TORONTO — After getting to know Ryan Weber over the last year and a half or so, Ron Marinaccio feels there’s one thing that stands out about the Yankees pitcher.It’s not the journeyman’s high-80s velocity. Nor is it the right-hander’s 6-foot-1, 175-pound frame. And Weber’s career numbers aren’t exactly anything to write home about, either.But “it seems like his heartbeat never wavers at all,” Marinaccio said, “no matter what situation it is.”That appeared to be the case Thursday against the Blue Jays when Weber entered in the seventh after Nestor Cortes walked the inning’s leadoff hitter. Pitching with a 3-1 lead, the reliever known as “Webdog” gave up a single and a walk to load the bases with nobody out. It looked as if the Yankees were doomed.But then Weber’s luck changed, as he induced three straight fly balls for outs. Only one of them, a sac fly from pinch-hitter Vladimir Guerrero Jr., re...

Colson Montgomery had a productive 2022 while playing for three teams in the Chicago White Sox system.A midback strain has delayed the top prospect’s start to 2023. The 2021 first-round pick continues to rehab, according to assistant general manager Chris Getz.“It has improved a good amount here in the last week or two,” Getz said Thursday afternoon. “And we are increasing his activities and look forward to getting him back.“He would have liked to be with an affiliate out of the gate, but this midback strain seems to be kind of in the rearview mirror and hope to get a good chunk of the season this year.”Three of the top four prospects in the Sox system are in various stages of coming back from injuries.Third baseman Bryan Ramos, the organization’s No. 3 prospect, is in extended spring training recovering from a groin-related injury.“He’s (been a designated hitter), played third base,” Getz said. “He’s got a coup...
