Liam Hendriks Placed on 15-Day Injured List Due to Right Hip Inflammation for Boston Red Sox

Liam Hendriks' absence is a concern for the Boston Red Sox bullpen. Hendriks has pitched 13 2/3 innings this season with a 6.58 ERA and a WHIP of 1.39. His recent performances included 12 strikeouts and seven walks, indicating room for improvement.

With Hendriks on the injured list, the Red Sox may rely more on relievers like Greg Weissert and Justin Wilson. The team faces the Atlanta Braves next at Truist Park, and these pitchers might step up in Hendriks' absence. Aroldis Chapman remains the closer, providing stability for the bullpen.
