Boston Red Sox pitcher Liam Hendriks is likely to be shut down for the remainder of the 2024 season due to forearm soreness unrelated to his previous Tommy John surgery. Despite a recent MRI showing no structural damage, Hendriks experienced tightness during his minor league rehab appearances, stalling his progress. Manager Alex Cora indicated that the team is running out of time to make a decision, with only 16 games left in the season. Hendriks, who signed a $10 million, two-year contract with the Red Sox in February, had hoped to return this season after undergoing surgery last August. Additionally, the Red Sox have placed lefty reliever Brennan Bernardino on the IL due to left elbow inflammation.
