On May 28, the White Sox announced the expected activation of their closer, Liam Hendriks. Just nearly six months prior, on Jan. 8, Hendriks announced to the world he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
Sometime after, Hendriks received a PET scan which revealed the lymphomas were bigger in his hips. He expressed to the media last season on different accounts his struggles recovering and not being able to pitch multiple innings. One could believe he pitched most of last season with cancer.
"I'd like to believe that was the reason I struggled to recover and at the end of the year was damn near limping to the finish line." Liam and his wife, Kristi, found out about the diagnosis in early December. Hendriks said he was officially diagnosed with Stage 4 non-Hodgkins lymphoma, which is the most dangerous stage of cancer.
