Chicago White Sox closer Liam Hendriks has announced that he has been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and will begin treatment on Monday.

"Hearing the word "Cancer" came as a shock to my wife and I, as it does to millions of families each year. However, I am resolved to embrace the fight and overcome this new challenge with the same determination I have used when facing other obstacles in my life," Hendriks wrote in an Instagram post.

Hendriks, 33, has been with the White Sox since 2021, saving 75 games for them over the past two seasons. 

Rick Hahn said the White Sox don't expect to have an update on Hendriks' playing status "prior to Opening Day at the very earliest."
