But even with Hendriks undergoing treatment, his backstop Yasmani <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/white-sox-one-last-minute-move-to-round-out-mlb-roster" rel="noopener">Grandal expressed</a> that the closer doesn’t plan on being away from the diamond too long.</p><p>Despite his diagnosis, Hendriks <a href="https://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/1627406252593811459" rel="noopener">has been present</a> at White Sox Spring Training and reportedly throwing bullpen sessions. Grandal spoke about his closer mentality and how Hendriks’ message has inspired the White Sox, via NBC Chicago’s Chuck Garfien.</p><p>“He’s already said it. ‘I’m going to pitch this year,'” Grandal said of Hendriks. “‘I’m going to keep going. I’m going to pitch this year.’ It’s very uplifting for sure.”</p><p>Hendriks announced his diagnosis and that he would be undergoing treatment back in January. White Sox General Manager Rick Hahn said the team <a href="https://twitter.com/JRFegan/status/1612240816373698560" rel="noopener">wouldn’t have a timeline</a> for Hendriks until closer to Opening Day. And yet, Chicago’s closer has been throwing bullpen sessions at Spring Training and looks eager to return to the mound.</p><p>His health will always take precedence, but the White Sox would be ecstatic to have Hendriks pitching sooner rather than later. Alongside him playing baseball being a sign that he beat his lymphoma diagnosis, Hendriks is a lights out closer.</p><p>Since coming to Chicago in 2021, Hendriks has made 75 saves while pitching to a 2.66 ERA and a 198/23 K/BB ratio. He has been an All Star both seasons with the White Sox.</p><p>Yasmani Grandal is looking forward to the day he can catch for Hendriks once again. If it were up to Hendriks himself, that would be Opening Day.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
