The procedure was performed by Dr. Keith Meister at TMI Sports Medicine and Orthopedic Surgery in Arlington, Texas, the head team physician of the Texas Rangers. The recovery time is approximately 12 to 14 months, putting Hendriks likely out through next season.
The White Sox placed Hendriks on the 15-day IL on June 11 with right elbow inflammation after making an appearance on June 9. He did not feature in a game since joining the IL.
Hendriks only appeared in five games this season with a 2-0 record and 5.40 ERA and one save.
