Liam Hendriks - Unlikely to play this seasonManager Alex Cora said Friday that Hendriks (elbow) is likely to be shut down for the rest of the regular season, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.ImpactHendriks has been on the shelf all season while recovering from Tommy John surgery from last August. He began a rehab assignment in mid-August, and it looked like the 35-year-old reliever was poised to join the Red Sox bullpen in early September until he suffered a setback. There was still some hope that he would be able to play after receiving a cortisone injection in his right elbow Monday, but Cora relayed Friday that Hendriks hasn't played catch since getting the shot. With just nine games left in the regular season, it appears Hendriks will have to wait until 2025 to work in relief in a Red Sox uniform.
