Hendriks was charged with a blown save July 28, but he's earned two wins and a save by tossing 3.1 scoreless frames across his last three outings.

Slams door for 26th save Hendriks struck out two batters in a perfect ninth inning Friday, earning a save over Cleveland.
Impact Hendriks was his usual dominant self Friday, recording two strikeouts and preserving the 6-4 lead while needing only 16 pitches (11 strikes). The 32-year-old righty is sporting a 2.53 ERA and he's converted 26 of his 31 save opportunities. It's unclear how he and Craig Kimbrel will split save chances moving forward, but Hendriks will still be worth rostering in most fantasy formats, largely due to his insane 73:5 K:BB through 46.1 frames.

White Sox get closer Kimbrel from Cubs for Madrigal, Heuer
The Chicago White Sox have acquired closer Craig Kimbrel from the crosstown CubsJULY 30, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Hit to save chances coming Hendriks will have to share his closer role with the newly acquired Craig Kimbrel down the stretch, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Impact Henriks looked like one of the safest closers around, as he's coming off back-to-back seasons with an ERA of 1.80 or below and owns a well-supported 2.58 ERA this season to go with his 25 saves, the second-highest total in the league. Kimbrel appears to be just as strong of a weapon, however, as he's bounced back from a couple of surprisingly poor seasons and is back in peak form, cruising to an 0.49 ERA and 46.7 percent strikeout rate, both of which represent the top marks among qualified relievers. For now, the White Sox intend to give both pitchers save opportunities, though the exact split between the two may take some time to become clear.

Logs six-out save Hendriks allowed one hit and struck out three to save Sunday's 3-1 win over Milwaukee. It was his 24th save in 28 chances.
Impact Michael Kopech hurled a scoreless seventh but walked the first batter faced in the eighth, so manager Tony La Russa went with his closer for a six-out save, the second save of such length this season for Hendriks. He hadn't pitched since last Tuesday, so Hendriks had the bullets and retired the Brewers on just 20 pitches over his two innings.
