Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Liam Hendriks has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to inflammation in his right hip, with the move retroactive to Wednesday. In 14 appearances this season, Hendriks has a 6.59 ERA with 12 strikeouts, while right-handed pitcher Nick Burdi has been recalled from Triple-A Worcester, where he had a stellar 0.48 ERA. Hendriks recently expressed his frustration on social media over receiving death threats following a loss to the New York Mets, highlighting the emotional toll of his previous battle with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
