Liam Hendriks’ return to baseball after undergoing treatment for cancer took a step back Sunday when the White Sox placed the right-hander on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation.
Left-hander Tanner Banks was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte to fill Hendriks’ spot on the active roster.
Hendriks, 34, is 2-0 with one save and a 5.40 ERA with three strikeouts after being reinstated from the injured list on May 29. He began the season on the IL to continue his treatment for Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
Hendriks publicly revealed his cancer diagnosis on January 8, completed treatment on April 3 and announced he was cancer free on April 20.
Banks, 31, is 2-0 with a 3.13 ERA with 30 strikeouts and three walks in 13 relief appearances with Charlotte this season. He owns a 3.38 ERA in four relief appearances over two stints with the Sox in 2023.
Hendriks’ placement on the IL is retroactive to June 10.
