Liam Hendriks (elbow) tosses scoreless inning in rehab outing WednesdayApril 17, 2025 | 03:32 AM

Hendriks threw a shutout inning on Wednesday with Double-A Portland, striking out one and walking one on 18 pitches. Writer's Analysis: Hendriks was sharp in his third rehab appearance, working around a walk to post another scoreless inning and maintain a perfect ERA through three outings. While he acknowledged after the game that his fastball command wasn't quite there, he felt good physically and was pleased with his slider's shape and location. His fastball velocity ranged from 94-96 mph, a positive indicator of his readiness. Barring any setbacks, Hendriks is expected to be activated this weekend for the series against the Chicago White Sox.
