The Boston Red Sox on Saturday activated Liam Hendriks from the 15-day injured list, marking the right-hander’s return to the majors for the first time in nearly two years.
Hendriks, 36, sustained an elbow injury while pitching for the Chicago White Sox on June 9, 2023, that ultimately would require Tommy John surgery. He was making his fifth appearance of that season after undergoing treatment for Stage 4 non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
He reported to his first spring training with the Red Sox but was sidelined by inflammation in his right elbow.
A three-time All-Star and American League Comeback Player of the Year in 2023, Hendriks owns a 33-34 record with 116 saves and a 3.82 ERA in 476 career appearances (44 starts) with the Minnesota Twins, Toronto Blue Jays, Kansas City Royals, then-Oakland Athletics and White Sox.
Right-hander Hunter Dobbins was optioned to Triple-A Worcester following Friday’s game against the White Sox.
