Chicago White Sox player Liam Hendriks shared news about his health in an emotional post.

The team shared Hendriks’ post on social media.

“Recently I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Hearing the word ‘Cancer’ came as a shock to my wife and I, as it does to millions of families each year. However, I am resolved to embrace the fight and overcome this new challenge with the same determination I have used when facing other obstacles in my life,” Hendriks wrote.

He added, “My treatment begins tomorrow, and I am confident that I will make a full recovery and be back on the mound as soon as possible.”

Hendriks concluded his post, saying, “I know with the support of my wife, my family, my teammates and the Chicago White Sox organization, along with the treatment and care from my doctors, I will get through this.”

Additionally, Rick Hahn, White Sox senior vice president and general manager, issued a statement about the player.

“Our thoughts and reactions at this time are for Liam the person, not Liam the baseball player. I know the entire Chicago White Sox fans, will rally in support of Liam and Kristi during the coming months,” Hahn said.

He continued, “Knowing everyone involved, especially Liam, we are optimistic he will pitch again for the White Sox as soon as viable. In the meantime, we all will do everything in our power to support our teammate and his family as they face this challenge, while also respecting their privacy.”

Hahn explained they “do not expect to have any updates on Liam’s playing status prior to Opening Day at the very earliest.”
