Hendriks — a three-time All-Star and 12-year MLB veteran — thanked his wife, Kristi, earlier this month for remaining by his side during the harrowing ordeal.
“You held my hand every step of the way,” he wrote in a message to her. “You were my voice of confidence and always made sure I felt loved and safe throughout it all. I love you.”
It’s unclear when Hendriks will return to the mound for the Sox … but it promises to be an emotional moment for him, his family and his fans.
